A coin jar contains 10 quarters, 6 dimes and 8 nickels. Find the probability that two quarters are chosen random from the jar.

0.1630

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of quarters = 10

Number of dimes = 6

Number of nickels = 8

Total number = 10+6+8 = 24

Probability of choosing the first quarter will be: = Number of quarters/Total number of money

= 10/24 = 5/12

Since a quarter has been selected, the total number will reduce to 23 the next time a quarter is choosing and the number of quarters will now be 9. Therefore, the probability of choosing the second quarter will be: = 9/23

Therefore, the probability that two quarters are chosen random from the jar will be:

= 5/12 × 9/23

= 45/276

= 0.1630

step-by-step explanation:

the terms of a geometric sequence can be found by beginning with the first term and multiplying by the common ratio repeatedly. a recursive formula for a geometric sequence with common ratio r is given by an=ran−1 a n = r a n − 1 for n≥2 n ≥ 2 .
