Use the tables to answer the question.
Simon’s Results
Number of White Balls Selected Number of Red Balls Selected
Bowl A 5 15
Bowl B 16 4
Clark’s Results
Number of White Balls Selected Number of Red Balls Selected
Bowl A 45 55
Bowl B 60 40
Bowls A and B contain a number of white and red balls. Simon and Clark repeatedly selected a ball from both bowls and recorded the results in a table. Whose results will give you a better indication about the proportion of white and red balls in each bowl? Explain your answer.

Clark’s experiment. He conducted a greater number of trials than Simon.
Clark's results will give a better indication about the proportion of white and red balls in each bowl. This is because Clark selected a larger number of balls from each bowl, resulting in a more accurate representation of the proportion of white and red balls in each bowl. Simon's results, on the other hand, are based on a smaller sample size and may not be as reliable for determining the proportion of white and red balls in each bowl.
