Answer: P(Quarter & Penny): 9/100

p(Two pennies): 9/25

Explanation:

There are 20 coins in the bag, so you have a 3/20 chance of getting a quarter, 5/20 chances of getting a dime and 12/20 chance of getting a penny on each draw if the coins are always replaced.

Multiply the chance of each independent event times the chance of the next independent event.

3/20 × 3/5 = 9/100 for the quarter and the penny

3/5 × 3/5 = 9/25 for the two pennies
