Q:

To pay you for mowing the lawn, your grandmother puts money in a bag. The bag has one $10 bill and four $1 bills. You get to draw out two bills. What is the theoretical probability of getting $11? What is the probability of getting $2? Explain

Accepted Solution

A:
2 out of five and 2 out of five
In the bag its a ten dollar bill you have a one in five chance of getting the ten dollar bill
You have four ones in the bag you have a 4 in 5 chance of getting the one dollar bill.
Now to get 11 dollars you have a 2 in 5 chance because there is only 1 of the ten and 4 of the 1s
