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. (1 point) Responses Neither; they conducted the same number of trials.

Clark's results will give a better indication about the proportion of white and red balls in each bowl. This is because Clark conducted a greater number of trials than Simon, and therefore his results are likely to be more accurate and representative of the actual proportions in the bowls. Simon's results may be skewed due to the smaller sample size.
