Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's break down the problem:
The bar graph shows the following distribution of coins in the piggy bank:
- Pennies: 21
- Nickels: 7
- Dimes: 17
- Quarters: 30
Total coins:
1. Probability that the coin is a penny:
2. Probability that the coin is a dime:
3. Probability that the coin is not a nickel:
[ \text{Probability} = 1 - \frac{\text{Number of nickels}}{\text{Total coins}} = 1 - \frac{7}{75} = \frac
