Dona 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 22
Green 16
Yellow 12

Heads Tails

22 28

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

512 over 2500

616 over 2500

50 over 50

68 over 50

Looks like it is 440/2500 = 0.176

There were 22 blue marbles drawn out of 50 drawings.
P(blue marble) = 22/50

There were 28 tails tossed out of 50 tosses
P(tails) = 28/50

To find the overall probability of two independent events, multiply the 2 probabilities together.
P(blue marble followed by tails) = P(blue marble) * P(tails)
