To determine how many times Marissa pulled the number 2 and then flipped tails, we use the given percentage.

We know that:

• There were 60 total trials
• The event of pulling 2 and flipping tails happened 15% of the time

Step 1: Compute the number of times this event occurred

$\text{Total occurrences} = 15\% \times 60$

$= \frac{15}{100} \times 60$

$= 0.15 \times 60$

$= 9$

Thus, Marissa pulled the number 2, then flipped tails 9 times.

Do you want me to break it down further or provide alternative methods?

Here are five related questions to expand on this concept:

1. If Marissa pulled the number 2 25% of the time, how many times did she pull it?
2. What is the probability of pulling any one specific number from the bag?
3. If Marissa flipped heads 40% of the time when pulling a 3, how many times did that occur?
4. If she repeated the experiment with 100 trials, how many times would she expect to pull 2 and flip tails?
5. What is the probability of pulling a 4 and flipping tails if we assume fair conditions?

Tip: To find percentages of a total, always multiply the percentage (as a decimal) by the total count!
