The probability of picking a dime is [tex]\frac{2}{11}[/tex].
The measure of happening or non-happening of the outcomes of a random experiment is called probability.
P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes/ total number of outcomes
Where,
P(E) is the probability of an event.
According to the given question.
Total number of quarters coins = 5
Total number of dimes coins = 2
Total number of pennies coins = 4
Therefore,
The total number of coins in a bag = 5 + 4 + 2 = 11
⇒ Total number of outcomes = 11
So, the probability of picking a dime coin is given by
P(E) = total number of dime coins/ total number of coins in a bag
⇒[tex]P(E) = \frac{2}{11}[/tex]
Hence, the probability of picking a dime is [tex]\frac{2}{11}[/tex].
