Question

Simon used a probability simulator to pull 3 colored marbles from a bag and flip a coin 50 time

Color of Marble Number of Times Rolled
Blue
15
Green
19
Yellow
16
Heads Tails
26 24
Using Simon's simulation, what is the probability of pulling a blue marble and the coin landing
39
50

Answer 1

360/2500

Explanation:

Answer 2

360/2500

Explanation:

the blue marble is 15 times out of 50 = 15/50 reduces to 3/10

landing on tails is 24 out of 50 = 24/50 reduces to 12/25

to find the probability of both multiply together:

3/10 x 12/25 = 3 x 12 / 10 x 25 = 36/250

if you multiplied the numerator and denominator by 10 you get 360/2500.

the answer is 360/2500
