Polly uses a probability simulator to pull colored ribbons from a bag 60 times and to flip a coin 60 times. The results are shown in the tables below: Color of Ribbon Number of Times Pulled White 25 Green 14 Orange 21 Heads Tails 38 22 Using Polly's simulation, what is the probability of pulling an orange ribbon and the coin landing on tails? fraction 308 over 3,600 fraction 330 over 3,600 fraction 462 over 3,600 fraction 36 over 60

D is not correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do ya think the answer is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk i dont even know how to solve it thats why im confused.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well in dealing with probability this probably has to do with adding and percentage. I'm not even 100% sure on this though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you times 22x21=462 But I don't think timing has anything to do with this.

Zigen, help me on this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Preetha plz help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i was gone

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok let me see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im so confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i pretty sure you multiply your odds like the orange ribbon is 21 and tails is 22 so 21•22=462

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So i was right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the probability should be over 3,600

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think ist c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It seemed like the only logical answer. But didn't seem right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Probability would probably be 6,000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no no no no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

she pulled ribbon 60 times and flipped a coin 60 times so 60•60=3600

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and 21•22=462

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 462/3600

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i hate math and dont understand it at all and sometimes i wonder how i have a A in math.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like why is it so difficult
