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:

16 blue

20 green

14 yellow

heads 18

tails 32

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

Kaliyah Duffy · Answer 1

P (selecting a blue marble) = 16/50 = 8/25

P (getting a tail) = 32/50 = 16/25

The 2 events are independent so you multiply the probabilities:-

Required probability = 8/25 * 16/25 = 108/625
