There are 6 blue marbles, 7 black marbles, 4 orange marbles, and 3

green marbles in a jar. Once a marble is drawn, it is not replaced
in the jar. What is the probability that you select a black?

Answer: 61% chance

Explanation:

Since theirs 4 selections and black having the most marbles, we can cancel out green as it has a 10% chance, along with the orange marbles with a 15% chance.

Lastly, the blue marbles are at a high enough number to almost 50/50 the black marbles, BUT since theirs an extra marble w/ the black marbles, it makes it a 61% chance

Try not to lose your marbles as you read this lol
