A basket contains 5 apples, of which 1 is spoiled and the rest are good. If Henry is to select 2 apples from the basket simultaneously and at random, what is the probability T that the 2 apples selected will include the spoiled one? Select:
A) a. 1/5
B) b. 3/10
C) c. 2/5
D) d. 1/2
E) e. 3/5
there can be two ways in which one can select a spoiled apple and a good apple.   1. you pick the spoiled one first and the good one later..   Prob of picking bad one = 1/5 (one bad apple)   Prob of picking a good one from the remaining 4 good apples (4/4 =1)   therefore the total prob for case 1 = i/5 * 1 = 1/5   Total prob T= porb1 + prob2 = 1/5+1/5 = 2/5.c. 2/5
