Answer:</h2>
The probability that he chooses 2 oranges is:

<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
The odds of choosing a orange from a basket is:

If O denote orange
and T denote the total number of fruits
Then the odds of selecting an orange is given by:

This means that:
The total number of fruits in basket i.e. T=8
so that the ratio matches.
Hence, the probability of getting orange in first draw= 5/8
Now , the second draw is independent of first and the fruits are not replaced.
This means now we have to choose fruits from remaining 7 fruits in the basket .
Probability of getting orange in second draw is: 4/7
Hence, the probability of choosing 2 oranges if the fruits are not replaced is:
