Marie draws a marble out of a bag. It is either red or green. She records the color and then puts the marble back in the bag.

She repeats this process 80 times to get the following results:

Red:30

Green : 50

Because Marie knows that there are 5 marbles in the bag she knows that the probability of choosing a red marble must be either 1/5,2/5,3/5,4/5, or 5/5. Based on her data which of these models is most probable?

2/5. 30/80 is .375 , and 2/5 is .4, so 2/5 is the closest approximation to her data.
