0.2 is the probability that a randomly picked coin from jar is a dime.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Total number of coins in the jar = 10

Number of nickels = 2

Number of quarters = 3

Number of dimes = 2

Coins that are not pennies = 3

Formula:

$\text{Probability} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$

P(Dime) =

$=\dfrac{\text{Number of dimes}}{\text{Total number of coins}}\\\\=\dfrac{2}{10} = 0.2$

0.2 is the probability that a randomly picked coin from jar is a dime.
