To calculate the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A, we need to divide the number of times a red ball was selected from Bowl A by the total number of selections from Bowl A.
From the table, the total number of selections from Bowl A is 5 + 15 = 20.
The number of times a red ball was selected from Bowl A is 15.
Therefore, the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A is 15/20 = 0.75 or 75%.
So, the answer is A. 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. 75%
B. 25%
C. 78.95%
D. 37.5%
