Question

This table shows the number of white and red balls Simon selected from Bowl A and Bowl B.
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

To find the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A, we need to consider the number of red balls selected and the total number of balls selected from Bowl A.

From the table:

• Number of red balls selected from Bowl A: 15
• Number of white balls selected from Bowl A: 5

Now, we can calculate the total number of balls selected from Bowl A: Total balls from Bowl A = Number of white balls + Number of red balls = 5 + 15 = 20

Next, we calculate the probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A: Probability of red ball from Bowl A = (Number of red balls from Bowl A) / (Total balls from Bowl A) = 15 / 20 = 0.75

To convert this probability into a percentage, we multiply by 100: 0.75 * 100 = 75%

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