Victoria used a probability simulator to pull 3 colored marbles from a bag and flip a coin 50 times. The results are shown in the tables below:


Color of

Marble

Number of

Times Rolled

Blue

18

Green

20

Yellow

12

Heads Tails

20 30

Using Victoria's simulation, what is the probability of pulling a blue marble and the coin landing tails up?

540/2500

48/50

38/50

360/2500

Verified Answer :

Answer:

C. 540/2500

Step-by-step explanation:

18 times 30=540

50 times 50= 2500

Answer: \(\dfrac{540}{2500}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:

\(\text{Probability}=\dfrac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}\)

Using Victoria's simulation :

Total number of outcomes = Total number of times marbles rolled x Total number of times coin flipped

= 50 x 50 =2500

Favorable outcomes = Total number of times pulling a blue marble and the coin landing tails up

= Number of times blue marble rolled x Number of times coin flipped to tail

= 18 x 30=540

Now, the  the probability of pulling a blue marble and the coin landing tails up will be :-

\(=\dfrac{540}{2500}\)
