Question

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

Answer 1

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.
