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.

Simon's results will give a better indication about the proportion of white and red balls in each bowl. This is because the more trials that are conducted, the more reliable the results will be in determining the true proportion of white and red balls in each bowl. Since Simon conducted a greater number of trials, his results will provide a more accurate representation of the proportions.
Bowls A 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. Using Simon’s results, what is the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A? The answer needs to be in percent form.

In order to determine the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A using Simon's results, we need to calculate the proportion of red balls selected from Bowl A out of the total number of balls selected from Bowl A.
Let's say Simon conducted 16 trials and picked a red ball from Bowl A in 6 of those trials.
The experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A is:
(6 red balls picked from Bowl A) / (16 total balls picked from Bowl A) = 6/16 = 0.375 = 37.5%
Therefore, the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A using Simon's results is 37.5%.
