Question

what is the probability of randomly grabbing one coin in the bag? write your answer here... quarter dime nickel penny

Explanation:

Step1: Count total coins

Assume there are 4 quarters, 3 dimes, 2 nickels and 1 penny. So total coins = 4 + 3+2 + 1=10.

Step2: Calculate probability for each

• Probability of grabbing a quarter: $\frac{4}{10}=\frac{2}{5}$
• Probability of grabbing a dime: $\frac{3}{10}$
• Probability of grabbing a nickel: $\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5}$
• Probability of grabbing a penny: $\frac{1}{10}$

Answer:

Quarter: $\frac{2}{5}$
Dime: $\frac{3}{10}$
Nickel: $\frac{1}{5}$
Penny: $\frac{1}{10}$
