Michael has 3 quarters, 2 dimes, and 3 nickels in his pocket. He randomly draws two coins from his pocket, one at a time, and they are both dimes. He says the probability of that occurring is 1/4 because 2 of the 8 coins are dimes. Is he correct? Explain

No. Choosing two dimes are dependent events. The probability of choosing the first dime is 1/4 and the probability of choosing the second dime is 1/7 . The probability that both coins are dimes is

Step-by-step explanation:

.

Step-by-step explanation:

The events are dependent.

The size of the original sample space is 8. It changes to 7 after the first dime is chosen.

The probability of picking the first dime is 2/8.

The probability of picking the second dime is 1/7

To find the probability of the compound event, multiply the probabilities.

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!

the correct answer is $7.38
