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.
(1 point)
• Neither; they conducted the same number of trials.
• Simon's experiment. He conducted a greater number of trials than Clark.
• Both results can be used, as they performed the experiment at random.
• Clark's experiment. He conducted a greater number of trials than Simon.
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 both bowls compared to Clark. More trials generally lead to a more accurate representation of the proportions of the different colors of balls in each bowl. Therefore, Simon's results are more reliable for determining the proportion of white and red balls in each bowl.

Simon's experiment. He conducted a greater number of trials than Clark.
are u sure?
Apologies for the confusion in my previous responses. Let me correct that.
In this case, both Simon and Clark have conducted the same number of trials for both bowls (20 trials each). Therefore, both results can be used to get an indication of the proportion of white and red balls in each bowl since they both performed the experiment at random.
