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?

The total number of occurrences for tails and red is 7.
Therefore, if the student were to repeat the experiment 130 times, the result would be tails and red 7/27 of the time.
130 * (7/27) = 33.7
So, the student would expect the result to be tails and red approximately 34 times.
Therefore, the closest answer choice is 35 times.
