Answer:
(2)/(13)

Explanation:

Given: The number of yellow marbles in the bag = 2

The total number of marbles in the bag =
6+2+4+1=13

Now, the probability of reaching into the bag and selecting a yellow marble is given by:-


P(\text{yellow})=\frac{\text{yellow marble}}{\text{total marbles}}*100\\\\\Rightarrow\ P(\text{yellow})=(2)/(13)

Hence, the probability of reaching into the bag and selecting a yellow marble=
(2)/(13)
