Answer : The probability of drawing a dime is, [tex]\frac{4}{9}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation :
Number of dimes in a box = 8
Number of quarters in a box = 10
Formula used :
[tex]\text{Probability of drawing a dime}=\frac{\text{Number of dimes in a box}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}[/tex]
Total number of outcomes = Number of dimes in a box + Number of quarters in a box
Total number of outcomes = 8 + 10
Total number of outcomes = 18
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
[tex]\text{Probability of drawing a dime}=\frac{8}{18}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Probability of drawing a dime}=\frac{4}{9}[/tex]
Thus, the probability of drawing a dime is, [tex]\frac{4}{9}[/tex]
