 John has ten single dollar bills of which three are counterfeit. If he selects four of them at random, what is the probability of getting two good bills and two counterfeit bills?  We need to figure out a few different things to set up a full probability! Example 6

 Start with how many ways you can choose 4 bills from a possible 10. Example 6

 Next we need how many ways 2 cards can be chosen from the 7 good cards. Example 6

 Finally, we need to know how 2 counterfeit cards can be selected from 3. Example 6

 Now we put it all together! Example 6
