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.

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.

Answer 1

The total number of times Simon selected a ball from Bowl A is 5 + 15 = 20.

The number of times a red ball was selected from Bowl A is 15.
Therefore, the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A is 15/20 = 0.75 or 75%.

So, the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A is 75%.
