The experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A can be calculated by dividing the number of red balls selected from Bowl A by the total number of balls selected from Bowl A:
15 red balls / (5 white balls + 15 red balls) = 15 / 20 = 0.75
Convert 0.75 to percent form by multiplying by 100:
0.75 * 100 = 75%
So, the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A is 75%.
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.
