Michael has 3 quarters, 2 dimes, and 3 nickels in his pocket. He randomly draws two coins from his pocket, one at a time, and they are both dimes. He says the probability of that occurring is 14 because 2 of the 8 coins are dimes. Is he correct? Explain.
No. Choosing two dimes are dependent events. The probability of choosing the first dime is 1/4 and the probability of choosing the second dime is 1/7 . The probability that both coins are dimes is
