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.

Answer 1

Clark's results will give a better indication about the proportion of white and red balls in each bowl. This is because Clark selected a much larger number of balls from each bowl compared to Simon. With a larger sample size, Clark's results are more likely to be a more accurate reflection of the true proportion of white and red balls in each bowl. Simon's results, on the other hand, are based on a smaller sample size and are therefore more prone to random variation and less reliable for determining the true proportion of balls in each bowl.
