Simon’s experiment. He conducted a greater number of trials than Clark.
Simon's results will give a better indication of the proportion of white and red balls in each bowl because he conducted a greater number of trials compared to Clark. This larger sample size provides a more accurate representation of the distribution of white and red balls in the bowls.
