    The box only contains 3 coins, so thats our max. Since there is only 1 of each, all of them would have a probability of 1/3.

    So, the probability of choosing a dime is 1/3.

    Since after you picked it out and you don't put it back in, that makes our max now 1/2.

    So, the probability of choosing a penny is 1/2. : D
