We want to find the probability that Bob will randomly draw $30 in tokens. We will find that the probability is P = 1/6 = 0.167
Finding the probability.
The only case where he draws $30 randomly is when:
- He takes one $5 token from the coin cup
- He takes the $25 token from his pocket.
Then we need to find the probabilities for these two events.
For the first one, the probability will be equal to the quotient between the number of $5 tokens and the total number of tokens in the cup. There are 6 tokens in the cup and 2 of these are $5 tokens, then the probability is:
p = 2/6 = 1/3
For the second event the probability is computed in the same way, he has two tokens in his pocket and one of them is a $25 token, then the probability is:
q = 1/2
The joint probability, the probability that both of these events happen at the same time, is given by the product of the individual probabilities, so we get:
P = p*q = (1/3)*(1/2) = 1/6 = 0.167
So the probability that he draws $30 in tokens is P = 1/6 = 0.167.
