What's the margin of error for an unbiased sample of 500? 6%? 10%? Anyone want to do the math?

On top of that, anyone want to speculate as to whether or not the sample is biased?

It requires 880 samples to be able to correctly predict the the ratio of servals colors of colored marbles in any size jar. Let call it 900 so this poll has 5 chances out of 9 of being correct. In terms of margin of error (guessing here) that means the marget of error is about 45%.
