Jim had a bag of marbles. There were 20 marbles in the bag: 6 red, 5 orange, 3 brown, 2 yellow, and 4 blue. Without looking, he chose a marble, recorded the color, and returned the marble to the bag. He performed this experiment 100 times and found that he chose a red marble 22 times. What was the experimental probability of choosing a red marble?
 a. $\frac{11}{10}$ b. $\frac{1}{50}$ c. $\frac{1}{5}$ d. $\frac{11}{50}$
