Question

If you have 3 quarters, 5 dimes, and 2 nickels in your pocket, what is the probability you will pick a dime and then a quarter without putting the dime back

in your pocket?
Are these events dependent or independent?

Answer 1

dependent

Explanation:

Answer 2

P = 1/90

Explanation:

These events are dependent.

P (dime) = 1/10

As dime is gone, only 9 coins are left so P (quarter) = 1/9

Hence, P (dime then quarter) = 1/10 x 1/9 = 1/90
