Depends on the color of the marbles, or more specifically, it depends upon how many of the marbles are blue. If 0 marbles are blue, then the chance is 0. If 1 marble is blue, then the chance is 1/4. If 2 marbles are blue, then the chance is 1/2. If 3 marbles are blue, then the chance is 3/4. If 4 marbles are blue, then the chance is 1. These probabilities assume that you draw only once.

If drawing multiple times, it can be done by putting back each marble after it was drawn, or by keeping it out after it has been drawn.
