Clark's results will give a better indication about the proportion of white and red balls in each bowl. This is because Clark conducted a greater number of trials than Simon, which provides a more reliable and accurate representation of the distribution of white and red balls in each bowl. Conducting more trials helps to reduce any bias or random variation that may occur in the results.
