Bryson Mejia · Answer 1

The experimental probability of drawing an even number is calculated by adding the ratio between the number of times the even numbers are drawn to the total times the tiles were drawn. So,

(6/65) + (10/65) + (14/65) + (3/65)

= 33/65

~ 0.5977

The exact probability is 33/65 or approximately 0.5977 or 59.77%
