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 compared to Clark, which allows for a more accurate representation of the distribution of white and red balls in each bowl. More trials provide a more reliable estimate of the proportion of white and red balls in the sample.
