Answer 1

Clark's results will give a better indication about the proportion of white and red balls in each bowl, as he has a larger sample size than Simon. With a larger sample size, the results are likely to be more accurate and representative of the overall proportion. Additionally, Clark's results show a higher number of white balls in Bowl A and B, indicating that these bowls may have a higher proportion of white balls compared to red balls.
