It depends on how many yellow-green marbles there are, and on how many total marbles there are. There is insufficient information in the question to answer it. Please restate the question, giving this other information.
The first marble is the independent event because its probability is only based on the sample space of the bag. The second marble is the dependent event because its probability is based on the sample space of the bag which has now been changed by the first marble.
The outcome is that you have pulled a marble out of the bag.
The probability of rolling a number greater than 4 is 2/6, that is, 1/3. For the probability of pulling out a red marble, more data has to be known. Just put the number of red marbles in the numerator, the total number of marbles in the denominator. Finally, multiply the two probabilities.
If you reach into the bag, grasp, and withdraw your hand, the probability of pulling something out is about 100%.
yes

The chance of pulling a red marble from a bag without looking depends on the total number of marbles and the number of red marbles in the bag. If there are, for example, 5 red marbles and 15 total marbles, the probability would be 5 out of 15, or 1 in 3. To find the exact probability, divide the number of red marbles by the total number of marbles.
yes
2/6
Probability = number_of_white_marbles / total_number_of_marbles = 10 / (4 + 6 + 4 + 10) = 10 / 24 = 5/12 ~= 0.42
Well, honey, if you're reaching into that bag three times and each time you're pulling out a yellow marble and then putting it back in, the probability of picking a yellow marble each time is 8/21. Multiply that by itself three times because you're picking three marbles, and you get a probability of 512/9261. So, good luck with those yellow marbles, darlin'!
The probability of pulling a red or yellow marble out of a bag of 3 green 8 red 8 yellow and 3 black marbles is 16 out of 22, or about 0.73.
3/10 or 0.3 is the probability of picking a purple marble.
The odds of pulling a red marble on the first try is 4/15 or about .27 and the probability of drawing a white marble the second time if a the first is a red marble is 5/14 or about .36. the odds of both happening is the product of the probabilities of the other events, or 2/21.
