Shana uses a probability simulator to pull colored stars from a bag 60 times and to flip a coin 60 times. The results are shown in the tables below:

Color of Star Number of Times Pulled
Pink 17
Yellow 19
Violet 24

Heads Tails
26 34

Using Shana's simulation, what is the probability of pulling a pink star and the coin landing on tails? (5 points)

fraction 578 over 3,600

fraction 646 over 3,600

fraction 34 over 60

fraction 51 over 60

1 answer

The probability of pulling a pink star and the coin landing on tails is calculated by multiplying the probability of pulling a pink star (17/60) by the probability of the coin landing on tails (34/60).

(17/60) * (34/60) = 578/3600

Therefore, the probability of pulling a pink star and the coin landing on tails is 578 over 3,600.
