Question

A basket of fruit contains 4 bananas, 3 apples, and 5 oranges. You intend to draw a piece of fruit from the basket, keep it, and then draw a 2nd piece of fruit from the basket. What is the probability of selecting two oranges in a row from the basket if you are blindfolded?

Answer 1

Answer: 5/33

Step-by-step explanation: There are 12 fruits and 5 are oranges.

If you draw an orange, then there are 11 fruits and 4 oranges. (5/12)x(4/11)=20/132 or 5/33 in simplest form.
