The total number of times Simon picked a ball from Bowl A is 20 (5 white + 15 red) and out of those 20 times, he selected a red ball 15 times. Therefore, the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A is 15/20 or 0.75 or 75%.
The answer is C- 75%.
Use the table to answer the question.
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.
A- 25%
B- 37.5%
C- 75%
D- 78.95%
