Question

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

Color of Pencil Number of Times Pulled
Green 24
Red 19
Yellow 17

Heads Tails
25 35

Using Karin's simulation, what is the probability of pulling a red pencil and the coin landing on tails? fraction 578 over 3,600

fraction 665 over 3,600

fraction 35 over 60

fraction 54 over 60

To calculate the probability of pulling a red pencil and the coin landing on tails, we first need to find the total number of times red pencils were pulled and the total number of times the coin landed on tails.

Total number of red pencils pulled = 19
Total number of times the coin landed on tails = 35

Now, the probability of pulling a red pencil and the coin landing on tails is given by:

(19/60) * (35/60) = 665/3,600

Therefore, the correct answer is fraction 665 over 3,600.
