Ecilia browsed the M&M’s website and read that the theoretical probability of randomly selecting a red M&M from a bag is 20%. She was excited to read that because she loves red M&M’s. She purchased a bag of M&M’s and counted that 10 of the 57 M&M’s were red. How does the theoretical probability compare to the observed results and why do you think that is?

A
The M&M’s website was authored by liars because the observed results are slightly lower than the theoretical probability predicts.

B
The M&M’s website was authored by liars because the observed results are slightly higher than the theoretical probability predicts.

C
There were slightly more red candies than the theoretical probability predicts but that is probably because the number of M&M’s in the bag is small.

D
There were slightly fewer red candies than the theoretical probability predicts but that is probably because the number of M&M’s in the bag is small.
