A basket contains 9 apples, of which 1 is spoiled and the rest are good. If we select 2 apples from the basket simultaneously and at random, what is the probability that the 2 apples selected will include the spoiled apple?  Choose the correct choice:	A) 2/3	B) 2/5	C) 2/7	D) 2/9	E) 2/11
The total number of ways to choose 2 apples is 9C2 = 36   The number of ways that include the spoiled apple is 8C1 = 8   P(the spoiled apple is included) = 8/36 = 2/9   The answer is 2/9.
