If Simon repeatedly selected balls from both bowls and recorded the results, we can estimate the number of white balls in bowl a by looking at the proportion of white balls selected from both bowls.
Let's say Simon selected a total of n balls from both bowls. Let x be the number of white balls in bowl a and y be the number of white balls in bowl b.
From the information given, we know that there are 36 balls in bowl a and that Simon repeatedly selected balls from both bowls.
If we assume that Simon selected equal number of balls from both bowls, the total number of balls selected from bowl a would be 36/x times n.
The number of white balls selected from bowl a would be 36/x times n divided by the total number of white balls selected.
Therefore, the number of white balls in bowl a can be estimated as:
Number of white balls in bowl a = (Number of white balls selected from bowl a) / (Total number of white balls selected) * 36
This estimation would provide a rough estimate of the number of white balls in bowl a based on Simon's results.
Bowls an and b contain a number of white and red balls. Simon repeatedly selected a ball from both bowls and recorded the results in a table. If there are 36 balls in bowl a estimate the number of white balls based on Simon’s results
