I am going to say the red jar. I've been going back and forth with it but, I think it would be more possible to scoop out more red ones and remove a few green ones after the mix. so you could possibly put a few green ones back.

do you know the answer? cuz eventually I want to know.

My answer was based on the assumption that the marbles were perfectly mixed. In other words, any given sample would have the same proportion of wrong colored marbles as the whole jar.
