All the outcomes are 10 (possibilities)
To pull a quarter (total 3), its probability = 3/10 or 0.3
Now without putting the quarter back, the remaining total is now 9 (because one quarter was pulled out) so the probability of getting a penny is 2/9
But this is a conditional probability a) 1st pull a quarter & 2nd pull a penny
So the total probability is 3/10 x 2/9 =6/90 = 1/15 = 0.067
