Question 597404: A bag contains 5 nickels, 7 dimes, and 2 quarters. If you draw 3 coins at random from the bag, without replacement, what is the probability that you will get a nickel, a quarter, and a nickel, in that order? Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5+7+2=14 total number of coins.
5/14 * 7/13 * 4/12 = 140/2184 = 5/78 the probability that you will get a nickel, a quarter, and a nickel, in that order.
