Total oranges = 15

Good oranges = 12

Bad oranges = 3

  Let  P(A) be the probability that first orange is good.

The, we have 

                      P(A)= \frac{12}{15}=\frac{4}{5}

  Let  P(B) be the probability that second orange is good.

                    P(B)=\frac{11}{14}

  Let  P(C) be the probability that third orange is good.

                 P(C)=\frac{10}{13}

The probability that a box  will be approved for sale =P(A).P(B).P(C)

                                                                                   =\frac{4}{5}.\frac{11}{14}.\frac{10}{13}

                                                                                   =\frac{44}{91}
