Answer 1

1/36

Explanation:

Answer 2

1/36

Explanation:

Given the sample space

S= [$1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50] = 6

Hence the probability of choosing a

$5 bill is

Pr($5) = 1/6

Also the probability of choosing a $20 bill is

Pr($20) = 1/6

Therefore the probability of choosing a $5 bill and a $20 bill

Pr($5,$20) = 1/6*1/6= 1/36
