Data Plot: An object to be classified (white) can belong to one of two groups (grey or black). This method would classify the object within the group with the highest probability of being correct. In this example, the white item would be classified as a member of the black group because the probability is higher (Black = 8/17 * 2/8 and Grey = 9/17 *1/9)
