Answer:

343/1000 or 0.343

Explanation:

Given: A basket contains 3 apples and 7 oranges. A fruit is drawn and put in the basket. This process is repeated 3 times.

To find: The probability that selected three fruits and oranges.

Solution:


(7)/(3+7)
=(7)/(10)

Now for 3 times, the probability

=
(7)/(10) *(7)/(10)*(7)/(10)


=0.343
