Use the table to answer the question.
Number of White Balls Selected Number of Red Balls Selected
Bowl A 5 15
Bowl B 16 4
Bowls A and B contain a number of white and red balls. Simon repeatedly selected a ball from both bowls and recorded the results in a table. Using Simon’s results, what is the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A? The answer needs to be in percent form.
A- 25%
B- 37.5%
C- 75%
D- 78.95%
The total number of times Simon picked a ball from Bowl A is 20 (5 white + 15 red) and out of those 20 times, he selected a red ball 15 times. Therefore, the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A is 15/20 or 0.75 or 75%.
The answer is C- 75%.
Well, according to the table, out of the total number of balls selected from Bowl A, there were 15 red balls selected. The total number of balls selected from Bowl A is 5 + 15 = 20.
Therefore, the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A is 15/20 = 0.75 or 75%.
So the correct answer is C- 75%.
To find the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A, we need to calculate the ratio of the number of red balls selected from Bowl A to the total number of balls selected from Bowl A.
From the table, we see that the number of red balls selected from Bowl A is 15.
The total number of balls selected from Bowl A is the sum of the white and red balls, which is 5 + 15 = 20.
The experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A is given by:
( Number of red balls selected from Bowl A / Total number of balls selected from Bowl A ) * 100
( 15 / 20 ) * 100 = 75%
Therefore, the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A is 75%.
So, the correct answer is C- 75%.
To find the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A, we need to consider the number of red balls selected from Bowl A divided by the total number of balls selected from Bowl A.
According to the table, the number of red balls selected from Bowl A is 15.
The total number of balls selected from Bowl A is given by the sum of the number of white balls selected and the number of red balls selected, which is 5 + 15 = 20 balls.
Now, we can calculate the experimental probability:
Experimental probability = (Number of red balls selected from Bowl A) / (Total number of balls selected from Bowl A)
= 15 / 20
= 0.75
To express this probability in percent form, we multiply by 100:
Experimental probability = 0.75 * 100
= 75%
Therefore, the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A is 75%. The correct answer is option C - 75%.
