Answer 2

The experimental probability of red is 20%.

Explanation:

When calculating out the experimental probability, you ignore the actual probability of the action taking place. In this case, you only look to what actually did take place. In this case it was 2 out of 10 times, so we complete that math.

2/10 = 20%
