campbell_st · Answer

order the colours based on the number of marbles. The more marbles of a colour, the more likely it is of being drawn

total marbles : 10 + 13 + 25 + 32 = 80 marbles

chance of drawing an orange marble is : 10/80 which reduces to 1/8 or 12.5%
chance of drawing a yellow arble : 0/80 because there is no yellow marbles -- 0%
chance of drawing a blue marble : 32/80 which reduces to 2/5 or 40%
chance of drawing any marble : 80/80 or 100%
chance of drawing red marble : 13/80 = 16.25%
chance of drawing a green marble : 25/80 which reduces to 5/16 = 31.25%
chance of drawing red and green : I am not sure about this one...I do not know whether you add them or multiply them....13/80 (+ or x -- not sure)25/80
