Use the tables to answer the question.
Simon's Results
Number of White Balls Selected | Number of Red Balls Selected
Bowl A | 5 | 15 |
Bowl B | 16 | 4 |
Clark's Results
Number of White Balls Selected | Number of Red Balls Selected
Bowl A | 45 | 55 |
Bowl B | 60 | 40 |
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.
A. Neither; they conducted the same number of trails.
B. Clark's experiment. He conducted a greater number of trials than Simon.
C. Simon's experiment. He conducted a greater number of trials than Clark
D. Both results can be used, as they performed the experiment at random.
B. Clark's experiment. He conducted a greater number of trials than Simon.
With a larger number of trials, Clark's results will provide a more accurate indication of the proportion of white and red balls in each bowl. This is because a larger sample size reduces the potential for random variability and provides a better representation of the true proportions.
