Grandpa hill has a bag of coins. the bag contains 4 silver dollars, 3 quarters, 2 dimes and 1 nickel. he is going to let his granddaughter kylee select and keep 2 coins from the bad one time without replacement. what is the probability that kylee select a silver dollar frost than a quarter



Answer :

The probability that Kylee select a silver dollar frost than a quarter is [tex]\frac{3}{25}[/tex]

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur. Mathematically;

Probability = [tex]\frac{Expected}{Total}[/tex]

If the bag contains 4 silver dollars, 3 quarters, 2 dimes, and 1 nickel, the total outcome will be:

Total outcome = 4 + 3 + 2+ 1

Total outcome = 10 coins

If Kylee will randomly select a silver dollar from the bag, the probability of selecting silver dollars will be

[tex]\frac{4}{10}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

If Kylee will randomly selects quarters from the bag, the probability of selecting quarters will be

[tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex]

The probability that Kylee selects a silver dollar frost than a quarter will be

[tex]\frac{2}{5} *\frac{3}{10}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{3}{25}[/tex]

Hence, the probability that Kylee select a silver dollar frost than a quarter is [tex]\frac{3}{25}[/tex]
