Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]number \: of \: ways \: to \: select \: 3 \: out \: of \: 9 = {C}^{9}_3 = 84[/tex]

[tex]ways \: to \: select \: 1red \: and \: 2yellow \: apples \: = {C}^{3}_1 \times {C}^{6}_2 = 3 \times 15 = 45[/tex]

Probability of selecting 1 red and 2 yellow apples = 45 / 84 = 0.53
