Let our basis be worth 1 dollar. A nickel's worth is $0.05. In order to come up with $1, the number of nickels should be:
Number of nickels = $1 * 1 nickel/$0.05 = 20 nickels
Thickness of 20 nickels = 20 nickels * 1.95 mm = 39 mm
Let's do the same for the quarters. Each quarter is worth $0.25.
Number of quarters = $1 * 1 quarter/$0.25 = 4 quarters
Thickness of 4 quarters = 4 quarters * 1.75 mm = 7 mm
Find the ratio of the two:
39 mm/7 mm = 5.57
Therefore, a stack of nickels is 5.57 times thicker than a stack of quarters worth one dollar.
The required probability is 
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, a shipment of 11 printers contains 2 that are defective.
We have to find the probability that a sample of size 2, drawn from the 11, will not contain a defective printer.
Now, we know that, 
Probability for first draw to be non-defective 
(total printers = 11; total defective printers = 2)
Probability for second draw to be non defective 
(printers after first slot = 10; total defective printers = 2)
Then, total probability
