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.

How do you play a game of marbles with jokers included in the rules?

To play a game of marbles with jokers included in the rules, each player starts with a set number of marbles and a joker marble. The joker marble can be used strategically to gain an advantage during the game. Players take turns shooting their marbles towards a target, trying to knock out their opponent's marbles. The joker marble can be used to hit other marbles or to protect your own marbles from being knocked out. The player who knocks out all of their opponent's marbles first wins the game.

There are 6!/3! = 120 possible combinations of marble colour. Of these, only 2 are "good". This gives a probability of 2/120 = 1/60 = 0.0167, or about one and two-thirds of a percent.
