Outcome Bag of Gold Magic Wand

Relative frequency 0.32 0.68

The relative frequency of getting a bag of gold is ... reasonably close

.32 is close to 30% so

Alison's claim about the theoretical probability is likely to be 2 ... true

Further, this means that the theoretical probability of getting a magic wand is most likely 3 ... 1 - 30% = 70%
