The total number of balls selected from Bowl A is 5 + 15 = 20.
The number of red balls selected from Bowl A is 15.
The experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A is calculated by dividing the number of red balls selected from Bowl A by the total number of balls selected from Bowl A and then multiplying by 100 to get the answer in percent form.
Experimental probability = (Number of Red Balls Selected from Bowl A / Total Number of Balls Selected from Bowl A) * 100
Experimental probability = (15 / 20) * 100
Experimental probability = 0.75 * 100
Experimental probability = 75%
Therefore, the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A is 75%.
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.
