2/20 is the first @Zarkon

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

there are 3+2+6+9 = 20 marbles there are 2 yellow marbles probability of selecting a yellow marble is simply the number of yellow marbles in the bag / the number of marbles in the bag

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

you have to available choices (2 yellow) from a total of 3+2+6+9 marbles, so 2/(3+2+6+9)
