Answer by srinivas.g(540)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! probability of selecting 1 nickel out of 3 nickels = 1/3
probability of selecting 1 dime out of 2 dimes = 1/2
probability of selecting 2 quarters out of 5 quarters = 2/5
the probability of selecting 1 nickel, 1 dime, and 2 quarters without replacement = 1/3 * 1/2 * 2/5
= 1/15
probability of selecting 2 nickel out of 3 nickels = 2/3
probability of selecting 3 quarters out of 5 quarters = 3/5
Find the probability of selecting 2 nickels, 1 dime, and 3 quarters without replacement. = 2/3 * 1/2 * 3/5
= 1/5
