A basket has 6 apples and 6 oranges. Three fruits are picked at random. What is the probability that at least 2 apples are picked?
Choose the correct choice:
A) 1/2  B) 1/3  C) 1/4  D) 2/5  E) 3/10
The total possible choices are 12C3 = 220   The ways to choose 3 apples: 6C3 = 20   The ways to choose 2 apples: 6C2 * 6C1 = 90   P(at least 2 apples) = 110/220 = 1/2   The answer is 1/2.
