Question

Use the table to answer the question.
Compound Event Total Number of Occurrences
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
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?

To find out how many times the result would be tails and red, we look at the Total Number of Occurrences for Tails and Red in the table, which is 7.

If the student were to flip the coin and spin the spinner 130 times, we can calculate how many times the result would be tails and red by setting up a proportion:

7 (occurrences for tails and red) is to 130 (total number of occurrences) as x is to 130.

7/130 = x/130

Cross multiply to solve for x:

130 * 7 = 130 * x
910 = 130x
910/130 = x
7 = x

So, the result would be tails and red 7 times out of 130.

Therefore, the answer is 7 times.

not like that, solve the problem in a way it relates to the answer choices

To find out how many times the result would be tails and red if the student were to flip the coin and spin the spinner 130 times, we first add up the total occurrences for Tails and Red, which is 7.

Next, we calculate the probability of getting Tails and Red: 7 occurrences out of the total possible occurrences (Tails and Red, Tails and Yellow, Tails and Blue, Tails and Green) = 7/130.

To find out how many times out of 130 the result would be Tails and Red, we multiply the probability (7/130) by the total number of occurrences (130):

(7/130) * 130 = 7

Therefore, the result would be Tails and Red 7 times out of 130.

So, the answer is 7 times, which matches one of the provided answer choices.

add all of the total occurences

By adding up all the total occurrences of the compound events given in the table:

9 (Heads and Yellow) + 3 (Heads and Red) + 4 (Heads and Blue) + 1 (Heads and Green) + 6 (Tails and Yellow) + 7 (Tails and Red) + 2 (Tails and Blue) + 3 (Tails and Green) = 35

The total number of occurrences across all compound events is 35.

Since the student is conducting the experiment 130 times, the number of times the result would be tails and red is 7, as listed in the table.

Therefore, the answer is 7 times, which does not match any of the provided answer choices.

since the number of occurrences is 35, and red and tails occurred 7 times, how many times would red and tails occur if that number was increased to 130?

Since the total number of occurrences for all compound events is 35 and the specific event of Tails and Red occurred 7 times within those 35 occurrences, we can set up a proportion to find out how many times Tails and Red would occur if the total number of occurrences increased to 130.

7 occurrences (Tails and Red) is to 35 total occurrences as x (number of occurrences of Tails and Red if total occurrences increase to 130) is to 130 total occurrences.

7/35 = x/130

Cross multiply to solve for x:

35x = 7 * 130

35x = 910

x = 910/35

x = 26

Therefore, if the total number of occurrences increased to 130, Tails and Red would occur 26 times. So, the answer is 26 times.
