Bowl A andB co tain a number of white and red balls. Using Simon's results what is the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A?
Bowl A white balls 6. Red balls 15
Bowl B white balls 16. Red balls 4
The experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A can be calculated as:
Experimental Probability = Number of desired outcomes / Total number of outcomes
For Bowl A, the number of desired outcomes (red balls) is 15 and the total number of outcomes (white balls + red balls) is 6 + 15 = 21.
Experimental Probability = 15 / 21
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
Experimental Probability = 5 / 7
Therefore, the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A is 5/7 or approximately 0.71.
To find the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A using Simon's results, we need to calculate the probability by dividing the number of red balls in Bowl A by the total number of balls in Bowl A.
In Bowl A, the number of red balls is 15.
The total number of balls in Bowl A is the sum of the number of white balls and red balls, which is 6 + 15 = 21.
To calculate the experimental probability, divide the number of red balls (15) by the total number of balls (21):
Experimental probability = Number of red balls / Total number of balls
= 15 / 21
= 0.7142 (rounded to 4 decimal places)
Therefore, the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A using Simon's results is approximately 0.7142 or 71.42%.
