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 </PRE>
