select a marble from the jar, return it , and record times
The probability of choosing a green marble from this jar would be 6/15. You get this answer by adding up the sum of all the marbles.
a black one
That depends on how many marbles are in the jar, and what colours they are. You could have 999,997 black marbles and 3 red ones, which would make the chance of drawing one red marble, quite literally, one in one million. As an interesting aside, as the number of non-red marbles grows, the probability of drawing a red one gets infinitely closer to (but never reaches) zero, assuming there is at least one red marble. This is an example of something from calculus, which becomes quite useful in thinking about some kinds of things. Please note that WikiAnswers is not here to do your homework for you. If this question is from work you have been assigned by a teacher or professor, I suggest you do the work yourself instead, which will help to increase your understanding of the subject matter and help you to become more familiar with it.
Use this formula - 100 * red / (blue+red+yellow).
80% chance, Or 40/50
The answer is dependent on whether of not you replace the marbles in the jar. If you do, the probability of drawing a red marble is 9 in 15 or 60%, every time. If you do not replace the marbles, the probability of drawing a red marble is 2 in 8 or 25%.
It is 50/100 = 1/2
3/5 or .6
The probability of selecting a red marble is 3/9
5/6

First, you add all the numbers together- 5+6+4=15. So the number of red marbles (5) and the total number of marbles (15)= 5/15=1/3
