Jonathan's piggy bank contains 20 nickels, 30 quarters, and 50 one-dollar coins. He picks 20 coins from the bank at random; 12 of these coins are one-dollar coins. The theoretical probability of picking a one-dollar coin from the piggy bank before the draw is %, but the experimental probability, based on the draw, is %

All in all, Jonathan's piggy bank contains 100 coins. Among these coins, only 50 are one-dollar coins. Therefore, the theoretical probability of picking one-dollar coin from the piggy bank is equal to 50/100 or 1/2. 

Similarly, from the experiment, 20 coins were picked and among these there are 12 one-dollar coins. The answer to the second question is therefore 12/20 or 3/5. 

Answer:

Theoretical Probability 50% Experimental Probability is 60%
