Answer: 1/5

Explanation:

There are three kinds of Marbles. (M) marbles

(G) green: 4m

(R) red: 1m

(B) blue: 1m

Dan pulled a green marble out leaving

(G) green: 3m

So, the probability of picking a green marble is 1/5

sorry if I'm wrong/correct me if I'm wrong.

|\Omega|=6^2=36\\|A|=4\cdot3=12\\\\P(A)=(12)/(36)=(1)/(3)\approx33.3\%
