If you have 3 quarters, 5 dimes, and 2 nickels in your
pocket, what is the probability that you will reach into your
pocket and choose a coin, keep it in your hand, then reach
in to choose another coin and both coins will be quarters?

Respuesta :

The probability of both coins quarters will be 1/15.

What is probability?

Its basic premise is that something will almost certainly happen. The percentage of favorable events to the total number of occurrences.

If you have 3 quarters, 5 dimes, and 2 nickels in your pocket.

Then the total number of the events will be

Total event = 3 + 5 + 2

Total event = 10

Then the probability that you will reach into your pocket and choose a coin, keep it in your hand, then reach in to choose another coin, and both coin's quarters will be

P = (3/10) x (2/9)

P = 1/15

Then the probability of both coins quarters will be 1/15.
