But I don't know how to proceed. One way to do this problem is to find the probability that 3 chosen coins are not quarters. Then I take the total 20 and subtract 4 to get Another way would be to just directly calculate the probability of picking 3 non-quarters, and subtract that probability from 1, since at least one coin needs to be a quarter for 35 cents or more:.

Another way would be to just directly calculate the probability of picking 3 non-quarters, and subtract that probability from 1, since at least one coin needs to be a quarter for 35 cents or more: Just to state explicitly, you will always get at least 35 cents if you have at least 1 quarter, and you will never get at least 35 cents if you have less than 1 quarter. This is the reason the problem splits into only two possibilities. Thanks for telling us about the problem.

Mar 16, Stephen rated it liked it Shelves: Matty Lee has written a revealing autobiography of a kid who was sexualized at much too young an age but who has apparently gone on to a happier life. He writes in the book jacket intro that he wouldn't trade his childhood for any other.
He adds that this book is about how "there is goodness everywhere, even in the darkest of parked cars and leather bars. And if it were my life I'd want to believe something like that too.
Unfortunately for those of us t Matty Lee has written a revealing autobiography of a kid who was sexualized at much too young an age but who has apparently gone on to a happier life. Unfortunately for those of us that had happier childhoods, this book may be depressing and an ordeal to finish. Since the skinny little kid who loved to hide out at the library has gone on to be a published author it's not all bad news, but I found this book seedier and mostly joyless. I've wondered about that.
Having just finished Target which has a victimized young protagonist who is much sadder for the majority of the book than this kid, I wondered why that book was page turner and this one was an ordeal. I think the answer is in the focus. Target is about the road back after an awful incident. This book dwells more on the downward spiral. While this book may be a form of therapy for the author, I found that it wasn't an uplifting read like Target turned out to be. But then Target is fiction and this is, as far as I can tell, gritty real life. That said, this book does contain some redeeming characters and is worth the time to read if you have a high tolerance for the seedier side of life.
I was originally drawn to this book as much by its setting in the run down Miami Beach of the 80's as by it's favorable reviews.
In that it doesn't disappoint. I recognized a number of locations from my mid 80's times in Miami Beach when I too was just beginning to explore my gay side.
Jun 11, Steph rated it it was ok. I chose this book over one about life in a brothel because it seemed less analytical and just pure This became book 1 of long hour flight. At first I strongly disliked the author because he seemed incredibly whiny and defensive while telling his story. Towards the end I began to appreciate his attitude and actually started enjoying the story.
But it still made me feel like a dirty old pervert reading about his 12 year old tricks I chose this book over one about life in a brothel because it seemed less analytical and just pure But it still made me feel like a dirty old pervert reading about his 12 year old tricks in great detail.
It's what I imagine Harlequin Romance novels for Pedophiles to read like. Mar 28, Alex rated it it was ok. There are some quite funny elements here, but the writer was unable to offer a satisfactory conclusion, preferring instead to tease the reader rather than to go to the heart of this very dark subject or offer any sense of resolution.
