Jacob's piggy bank has 18 quarters, 20 dimes, 24 nickels, and 43 pennies. He

chooses a coin, does not replace it, then chooses another. What is the
probability that he chose a dime then a nickel?​

The probability is very high because you need less dimes to make a full dollar other than a nickel you need more
