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)
The probability of getting tails on a coin flip is 1/2, and the probability of getting red on the spinner is 1/4.
To find the probability of both events happening, we multiply the individual probabilities:
P(tails) * P(red) = (1/2) * (1/4) = 1/8
So out of 130 times, the number of times the result would be tails and red is:
(1/8) * 130 = 16.25
Since we can't have a fractional result, we round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the result would be tails and red 16 times.
