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 calculate the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A, we first need to determine the total number of balls selected from Bowl A and the number of red balls selected from Bowl A.

From the table, we see:

• Number of White Balls Selected from Bowl A: 5
• Number of Red Balls Selected from Bowl A: 15

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 Total Balls from Bowl A = 5 + 15 = 20

Next, we find the probability of selecting 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) Probability of Red Ball from Bowl A = 15 / 20

To convert this to a percentage: Probability in Percent = (15 / 20) * 100% = 75%

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