A jar contains coins that are all mixed up. You pick out 20 coins. From this selection, 15 turn out to be gold, 3 are silver, and the remaining coins are bronze. If the jar contains 20 gold coins, 30 silver coins, and 50 bronze coins, what is the experimental probability of picking a bronze coin

Question

anonymous · Answer

Well when you add all of the coins in the jar up you get 100.

anonymous · Answer

And you subtract 100 - 50.

anonymous · Answer

And that's 50, so there is a 50% chance that you will pick a bronze coin.
