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?
(1 point)
11 times
35 times
26 times
22 times
To find the total number of occurrences of tails and red, we can add the occurrences from the table: tails and red = 7. Since the total number of occurrences is 130, we can calculate the frequency of tails and red by dividing the number of tails and red by the total number of occurrences and then multiplying by 130.
(7 / (9+3+4+1+6+7+2+3)) * 130 = (7 / 35) * 130 = 26
Therefore, the result would be tails and red 26 times out of 130 experiments. The correct answer is 26 times.
