The probability of picking a marble of any color is 100%.
The probability of picking a red marble is 10%.
The probability of picking a yellow one is 60%.
100% - 10% - 60% = ?
That is the probability of picking an orange one.
If that probability is between 50% and 100% it is likely.
If that probability is between 0% and 50%, it is unlikely.
