anyone help! :)

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:

Color of Marble Number of Times Rolled
Blue 16
Green 20
Yellow 14

Heads Tails
18 32

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

 32 over 50
 48 over 50

sweetburger · Answer

chance of pulling a blue marble is 16/50 and chance of a coin landing tails up is 32/50. I think to finish the problem it would be 16/50*32/50

welshfella · Answer

Because the 2 events are independent you multiply the probabilities

ok then please check my answer though..hold on :b

anonymous · Answer

ok so i did that and i got 0.2048 but then i converted my answer to fraction and i got 128/625

sweetburger · Answer

you are correct except for this question you dont have to reduce your answer to as far as you did you can leave it as 512/2500

anonymous · Answer

ok then thank you!! :)

sweetburger · Answer

which i believe in probability you are not supposed to reduce but i could be wrong and np :)

welshfella · Answer

yes you can reduce then to simplest form

- but its not essential
