There are 286 possible sets of three, (any 3 from 13). There are 28 pairs of reds and 5 possible greens so probability is 5 x 28 ie 140 out of 286 which is just under half (0.4895).
The probability for most of the same colours is most likely green. One of each can be one of each, but there is a small chance you will get more red and yellow than green.
Three sixteenths, or 19%.
He will have 13 blue marbles and 10 green marbles.

It is 1248/57120 = 13/595 = 0.0218 approx.

Number of possibilities for one category / Total of all possibilities. For example, if I had a bag of marbles where there are three white marbles and two black marbles. The probability of pulling out a white marble is how many white marbles are in the bag which is: three. But the total of things you can draw out of the bag can either be one of the three white marbles or one of the two black marbles. 3 white marbles+ 2 Black marbles= five marbles. Possibility is 3/5 for drawing a white marble.
To find the answer to probability, first add all the things together (5+3+2=10), then, find the number of things you will be taking from the group of things (3), and put together as a fraction (3/10). So the final answer is 3/10, which is unlikely. :D
