The probability of selecting an apple and a banana can be calculated by multiplying the individual probabilities of selecting an apple and a banana.
Probability of selecting an apple = Number of apples / Total number of fruits = 7 / 20
Probability of selecting a banana = Number of bananas / Total number of fruits = 5 / 20
Multiplying these probabilities, we get:
(7 / 20) * (5 / 19) = 35 / 380 = 7 / 76
Therefore, the correct answer is:
Start Fraction 7 over 76 End Fraction
