Question:
Calculate the probabilities of the following events involving coins: A. P(2 nickels) w/o replacement B. P(1 nickel and then a dime) w/replacement C. P(1 nickel and then 1 dime) w/o replacement D. P(1 penny and then 2 nickels) w/o replacement
Choices:
- P(2 nickels) w/o replacement
- P(1 nickel and then a dime) w/replacement
- P(1 nickel and then 1 dime) w/o replacement
- P(1 penny and then 2 nickels) w/o replacement
Answer:
P(2 nickels) w/o replacement = 0.23529411764705882 P(1 nickel and then a dime) w/replacement = 0.08333333333333333 P(1 nickel and then 1 dime) w/o replacement = 0.08823529411764706 P(1 penny and then 2 nickels) w/o replacement = 0.08823529411764705
