Question 112267: You have three $1 bills, four $5, and two $10 bills in your wallet. You select a bill at random. Without replacing the bill, you choose a second bill at random.Find p($10 then $1) Answer by Edwin McCravy(20056) (Show Source):
You have three $1 bills, four $5, and two $10 bills in your wallet. You
select a bill at random. Without replacing the bill, you choose a second bill
at random. Find p($10 then $1)
There are 9 bills, 2 of which are tens, so the probability of choosing
a ten first is
So ths of the times you try you will select a ten first.
If you select a ten first and don't replace it, there are 8 bills left to
select second, 3 of which are ones. So of those times when you
selected a ten first, you will select a one second.
So you will select a one-dollar bill second ths of the ths
of the times when you select a ten first. So the desired probability is
× =
