Answer:

From least to most likely:

Event 4, Event 2, Event 3, Event 1

Explanation:

Event 1 has a 100% chance because there are only red and orange marbles in the bag.

In event 2, there are 4 orange marbles in the bag, giving us a (4/20) chance. This is 20%

In event 3, there are 2 orange marbles of 8 total, giving us an (2/8) chance. This is 25%

Lastly, there are no purple marbles in either bag, giving us a 0% chance of this occurring.
