A bag contains 40 US quarters and 10 Canadian quarters if 5/4 are randomly picked from the bag. What is the probability of getting at least one Canadian quarter

The problem contains a mix of US and Canadian quarters, with 40 US quarters and 10 Canadian quarters. In total, there are \( 40 + 10 = 50 \) quarters.

You are asked to find the probability of getting at least one Canadian quarter when \( 5/4 \) quarters are randomly picked. However, \( \frac{5}{4} \) is not a whole number, and quarters can't be picked in fractions. Can you clarify the number of quarters you want to pick? Is it possibly 5 quarters? 

Once clarified, I'll be able to continue solving this for you.
