Consider a bag that contains 100 green lego pieces and 100 red lego pieces. Assume you did not know the ratio of lego pieces. If you were to take n amount of pieces at random (without replacing) and guess the ratio of the green lego pieces to the red lego pieces is the same as the ratio of the green lego pieces to red lego pieces that you drew from the bag. What minimum value of n would your guess be correct with a probability of at least 0.25?
