Shyla 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 16
Green 20
Yellow 14

Heads Tails
18 32

Using Shyla's simulation, what is the probability of pulling a blue marble and the coin landing tails up? (1 point)


512 over 2500

624 over 2500

32 over 50

48 over 50

Answer 1

To find the probability of pulling a blue marble and the coin landing tails up, we need to multiply the probability of pulling a blue marble by the probability of the coin landing tails up.

The probability of pulling a blue marble is 16 out of 50, or 16/50.

The probability of the coin landing tails up is 32 out of 50, or 32/50.

So, the probability of pulling a blue marble and the coin landing tails up is:

(16/50) * (32/50) = 512/2500

Therefore, the correct answer is:
512 over 2500
