White balls. Red balls

Question

Bowl A= 5. Bowl A= 15
Bowl B= 16. Bowl B= 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 balls from bowl A? The answer needs to be in percent form
A. 75%
B. 78.95%
C. 37.5%
D. 25%

Answer 1

To find the experimental probability of picking a red ball from bowl A, we look at Simon's results.

From Bowl A, Simon recorded a total of 20 selections (5 white + 15 red). Out of those 20 selections, 15 were red balls from Bowl A.

So, the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A is:

15 red balls / 20 total selections = 0.75

Converting to a percentage:

0.75 x 100 = 75%

Therefore, the answer is A. 75%
