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 calculate the number of times a red ball was selected from Bowl A and divide it by the total number of selections from Bowl A.

From Simon's table, let's assume the following results:

- Bowl A: Red ball selected 5 times
- Bowl A: White ball selected 3 times

So, the total number of selections from Bowl A is 5 + 3 = 8.

The experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A is:

5 (number of red balls selected from Bowl A) / 8 (total number of selections from Bowl A) = 5/8 = 0.625

Converting this to percentage form:

0.625 * 100% = 62.5%

Therefore, the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A based on Simon's results is 62.5%.
