A basket contains 6 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 answer:
A) 1/2  B) 1/3  C) 1/4  D) 1/5  E) 1/6
The total number of ways to choose 2 apples is 6C2 = 15   The number of ways that include the spoiled apple is 5C1 = 5   P(the spoiled apple is included) = 5/15 = 1/3   The answer is 1/2.
