The probability of selecting a coin from the jar that is not a dime or a penny is 10/23.
To determine the probability of selecting a coin from the jar that is not a dime or a penny, first calculate the total number of coins in the jar:
Total coins = Quarters + Dimes + Nickels + Pennies
Total coins = 6 + 3 + 4 + 10
Total coins = 23
Next, calculate the probability of selecting a dime or a
Probability (Dime or Penny) = (Dimes + Pennies) / Total coins
Probability (Dime or Penny) = (3 + 10) / 23
Probability (Dime or Penny) = 13/23
Finally, subtract this probability from 1 to find the probability of not selecting a dime or a penny:
Probability (Not Dime or Penny) = 1 - Probability (Dime or Penny)
Probability (Not Dime or Penny) = 1 - 13/23
Probability (Not Dime or Penny) = 10/23
Therefore, the probability of selecting a coin from the jar that is not a dime or a penny is 10/23.
Question
jar contains 6 quarters, 3 dimes, 4 nickels, and 10 pennies. if a coin is randomly selected from the jar, what is the probability that it will not be a dime or a penny?
