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.

To find the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A, we look at the total number of red balls selected from Bowl A compared to the total number of balls selected from Bowl A.

In Bowl A, Simon selected 15 red balls out of a total of 20 balls (5 white + 15 red), so the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A is 15/20 = 0.75 or 75%.

Therefore, the answer is 75%.
