Joyce removes the pennies from her purse. Now her bag contains 12 nickels, 26 dimes, and 14 quarters. She draws three coins from her purse (one at a time without replacement). What is the probability that Joyce gets three of the same type coin?

Step 1
- Probability of drawing the first nickel: 12/52 - Probability of drawing the second nickel: 11/51 - Probability of drawing the third nickel: 10/50 - Multiply the probabilities: (12/52) * (11/51) * (10/50) = 1320/32700 Show more…

Joyce removes all the pennies from her purse. Now her bag contains 12 nickels, 26 dimes, and 14 quarters. She draws three coins from her purse (one at a time without replacement). What is the probability that Joyce gets a dime, nickel, and quarter
Joyce removes the pennies from her purse. Now her bag contains 12 nickels 26 dimes and 14 quarters. She draws three coins from the purse one at a time without replacement. Draw a tree diagram that represents Joyce's actions and label the probabilities on the branches.
