Q: Does iPad prefer WiFi over 3G personal hotspot?

If an iPad is using an iPhone personal hotspot and is connected to WiFi at the same time, does it give preference to the wifi and ignore the iPhone's 3G connection? Sometimes I forget to turn of personal hotspot on the iPhone and it shows the iPad as connected.

 

I've noticed that the iPad will connect to the phones hotspot automatically if it it turned on.  With the MacBook I have to tell it to connect.

iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 6.0.1
