    10 quarters ... 5 nickels ... 15 in total

    probability of picking a nickel first is 5/15 which reduces to 1/3

    without replacement

    probability of picking a quarter next is 10/14 which reduces to 5/7

    probability of both is : 1/3 * 5/7 = 5/21 <==

    There are dependent events being that u didn't replace what u picked <==
