Question

You have a bag with 10 pennies, 10 quarters, and 10 dimes. You draw 2 coins without replacement. Which action, performed before the draws, increases the probability of drawing 3 quarters in a row? O removing pennies and dimes from the bag O adding dimes to the bag O adding pennies to the bag o adding pennies and dimes to the bag ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Removing pennies and dimes from the bag

Step-by-step explanation:

From the beginning, we have a 1 in 3 chance of drawing a quarter. If we were to add dimes and/or pennies to the bag, this would make us more likely to draw a dime or a penny, and less likely to draw a quarter. Proportionally, we want the most quarters in the bag to get the highest probability of drawing a quarter from the bag.
