Probability of Chance Events Quick Check 5 of 55 of 5 Items Question 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. (1 point) Responses 37.5% 37.5% 75% 75% 25% 25% 78.95% 78.95% Skip to navigation
The experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A can be calculated by dividing the number of times a red ball was selected from Bowl A by the total number of times a ball was selected from Bowl A.
In this case, the number of red balls selected from Bowl A is 15, and the total number of balls selected from Bowl A is 20 (5 white + 15 red).
Therefore, the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A is 15/20 = 0.75 = 75%.
So, the answer is 75%.
