(5/16)*(4/15) Mya selects a fruit and you want it to be an apple so that is 5 apples out of 16 fruits total. After Mya selects one fruit and it is an apple, there is one less fruit and apple. So 5-1/16-1. Since the is also in one case, not two separate ones, you multiply the two fractions so (5/16)*(4/15).

The probability of picking two apples is 3/4

What is probability

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur

Probability -= expected outcome/Total outcome

If there are 7 bananas, 4 oranges and 5 apples in a fruit basket, then;

Total outcome = 7 + 4 + 5

Total outcome = 16 fruits

If Mya selects a piece of fruit at random and Shayla selects a piece of fruit at random, the probability of picking 2 apples will be:

Pr(2 apples) = 5/16 * 4/15

Pr(2 apples) = 3/4

Hence the probability of picking two apples is 3/4
