A store has 22 apples and 34 bananas on the shelf. If one customer purchased 5 pieces of fruit, find the probability that all 5 were bananas.

Since "order" does not matter in this problem, use "combinations" rather than permutations:
P(all 5 were bananas) = 34C5 / 56C5 = 278,256/3,819,816 = 0.0728
Hope that helps
