Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
X = 10 → 2 nickels
P(1st Nickel) = 5/16
P(2nd Nickel) = 4/15
P(X = 10) = P(2 nickels) = (5/16)*(4/15) = 20/240 = 0.08333 (8.333%)
The probability of selecting 2 nickels ($0.10) is 0.08333.
X = 11 → dime and penny
P(Dime) = 3/16
P(Penny) = 8/15
P(X = 11) = P(Dime and Penny) = (3/16)*(8/15) = 24/240 = 0.1 (10%)
You could also choose penny first and then a dime. This will give you the same probability.
P(Penny) = 8/16
P(Dime) = 3/15
P(X = 11) = P(Penny and Dime) = (8/16)*(3/15) = 24/240 = 0.1 (10%)
P(Dime and Penny) + P(Penny and Dime) = 0.2 (20%)
The probability of selecting a dime and a penny no matter the order is 0.2.
Total Value = 8(0.01) + 5(0.05) + 3(0.10) = 0.08 + 0.25 + 0.30 = $0.63
There are a total of 16 coins and you selected 2 coins from the jar. So the probability of selecting 2 coins from the jar is 2/16 or 0.125.
E[X] = ($0.63)*(2/16) = $0.07875
The expected value is about 8 cents.
