Calculating Experimental Probability of Drawing a Name
To calculate the experimental probability of drawing Lissa's name from the bowl, you need to divide the number of times Lissa's name was drawn by the total number of draws. From the table provided, you can count the number of times Lissa's name appears. Let's count together:
Lissa appears in the following draws: 1, 3, 10, 11, 15.
That's 5 times Lissa's name was drawn out of a total of 15 draws.
Now, let's calculate the experimental probability:
P(Lissa) = Number of times Lissa's name was drawn / Total number of draws
P(Lissa) = 5 / 15
To simplify this fraction, you divide both the numerator and the denominator by 5 (their greatest common divisor):
P(Lissa) = 1 / 3
Therefore, the experimental probability of drawing Lissa's name is 1/3.
