Simon's results will give a better indication about the proportion of white and red balls in each bowl. This is because Simon conducted a greater number of trials for each bowl compared to Clark, allowing for a more accurate representation of the distribution of white and red balls in each bowl. Simon's results provide a larger sample size, which leads to more reliable conclusions about the proportions of white and red balls in the bowls.
