A bag contains 2 silver coins, 2 gold coins, 6 copper coins, and 5 brass coins. A coin is chosen without looking. What is the probability that it will be gold
There are a total of 15 coins in the bag.
The probability of selecting a gold coin is the number of gold coins divided by the total number of coins:
2 gold coins / 15 total coins = 2/15
Therefore, the probability of selecting a gold coin is 2/15 or approximately 0.133 or 13.3%.
