What is the chances you will get a blue marble if there is 4 marbles in all?
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. The other possibilities are that you draw twice, or three times, or four times. 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.

The maximum number of marbles you have to draw is three. 1) Draw a marble. It is either white or black. 2) Draw a second marble. If it is the same colour as the first marble, we are done after two draws. 3) Otherwise, the drawn marbles have different colours. Draw a third marble. No matter what you draw next, you must have two marbles of the same colour.
