Answer 1

Clark’s experiment. He conducted a greater number of trials than Simon.

Clark’s results will give a better indication of the proportion of white and red balls in each bowl because he conducted more trials, which means his results are likely to be more accurate and representative of the actual proportions of white and red balls in the bowls. More trials reduce the impact of random chance and provide a more reliable estimate of the true proportions.
