A basket has 5 apples and 5 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) 3/5  C) 3/8  D) 4/9  E) 7/10
The total possible choices are 10C3 = 120   The ways to choose 3 apples: 5C3 = 10   The ways to choose 2 apples: 5C2 * 5C1 = 50   P(at least 2 apples) = 60/120 = 1/2   The answer is 1/2.
