Clark's Results
White balls. Red balls
Bowl A= 45. Bowl B= 55
Bowl B= 60. Bowl B= 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
A. Both results can be used as they performed the experiment at random
B. Clark's experiment. He conducted a greater number of trails than Simon
C. Neither; they conducted the same number of trials
D. Simon's experiment. He conducted a greater number of trials than Clark
B. 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 because he conducted a larger number of trials, which will provide a more accurate representation of the distribution of balls in the bowls. Simon's results, on the other hand, are based on a smaller number of trials and may not be as reliable for determining the proportion of white and red balls in each bowl.
