A student had a spinner and a coin. The student was running an experiment for math class. The spinner had an equal chance of landing on 4 colors: yellow, red, blue, and green. The student flipped the coin and spun the spinner, and the results are recorded in the table.If the student were to flip the coin and spin the spinner 130 times, how many times would the result be tails and red?

The table has
"heads and yellow" 9
heads and red 3
heads and blue 4
heads and green 1
Tails and yellow 6
Tails and red 7
tails and blue 2
tails and green 3

To find out how many times the result would be tails and red if the student were to do the experiment 130 times, first calculate the proportion of times the result was tails and red in the recorded results:

(7 / (9 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 6 + 7 + 2 + 3)) = 7 / 35 = 0.2

Then, multiply this proportion by 130 (the total number of times the experiment will be conducted):

0.2 * 130 = 26

Therefore, if the student were to flip the coin and spin the spinner 130 times, the result would be tails and red 26 times.
