    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.
