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 first need to determine the total number of balls selected from Bowl A and then the number of red balls selected from that bowl.

From the table:

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

Now, we 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 can now calculate the probability of selecting a red ball from Bowl A:

Probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A = (Number of red balls selected from Bowl A) / (Total balls selected from Bowl A) Probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A = 15 / 20

To express this probability as a percentage, we multiply by 100:

Probability (in percent) = (15 / 20) * 100 = 75%

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