Answer:
the probability is 2/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the coins are randomly selected, the probability of pulling a dime first is the number of dimes (4) divided by the total number of coins (10).
p(dime first) = 4/10 = 2/5
Then, having drawn a dime, there are 9 coins left, of which 5 are nickels. The probability of randomly choosing a nickel is 5/9.
The joint probability of these two events occurring sequentially is the product of their probabilities:
p(dime then nickel) = (2/5)×(5/9) = 2/9

<em>Alternate solution</em>
You can go at this another way. You can list all the pairs of coins that can be drawn. There are 90 of them: 10 first coins and, for each of those, 9 coins that can be chosen second. Of these 90 possibilities, there are 4 dimes that can be chosen first, and 5 nickels that can be chosen second, for a total of 20 possible dime-nickel choices out of the 90 total possible outcomes.
p(dime/nickel) = 20/90 = 2/9

Answer:
i) k = 36.8
ii)y = 36.8/square root of x
iii)y = 1.4
Step-by-step explanation:
If y is inversely proportional to square root of x;
then the two variables are related by,
y = k/ square root of x
i)Value of k when...x = 8 and y = 13,
substitute into the equation above..so as to find the value of k
13 = k/square root of 8
;k = 13 × square root of 8
;k = 36.8
ii)Then substitute the value of k with...36.8
y = 36.8/square root of x
iii)If x = 27...then y =;
y = 36.8/27
y = 1.4
