Question

Suppose you have 5 quarters and 5 pennies in your wallet. You select two coins from your wallet without looking. If the first coin is not replaced, what is the probability of selecting a quarter both times?

Answer 1

Answer:

50% it can be like you can pick 2 pennies you don't know that is why you have to look

Answer 2

Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have 5 quarters and 5 pennies the fraction would be... 5/5. If you take away two coins you would most likely take 1 penny and 1 quarter, which leaves 4 quarters. Therefore the answer is 4/5.

Hope this helps :)
