Poppy pulls a card from a deck and puts it back in each time. She records the results in the table. What is the experimental probability that Poppy draw a 3? Give your answer as a percentage.

Trial: 1:3, 2:6, 3:3, 4:4, 5:9, 6:2, 7:9, 8:10, 9:7, 10:8, 11:6, 12:3.
The second set of numbers after the : is the results.

___%

The experimental probability of drawing a 3 can be calculated by counting the number of times a 3 was drawn and dividing by the total number of trials.

In this case, a 3 was drawn 3 times out of 12 trials.

Experimental probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of trials
Experimental probability = 3/12
Experimental probability = 0.25

To convert to a percentage, simply multiply by 100.

Experimental probability as a percentage = 0.25 * 100
Experimental probability as a percentage = 25%

Therefore, the experimental probability that Poppy draws a 3 is 25%.
