Answer:

Yellow.

Explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes. Experimental probability is found taking into account previous experiments.

In this question:

6 + 5 + 4 + 10 = 25 total marbles.

The experimental probabilities are:

6/25 probability it is red.

5/25 = 1/5 probability it is yellow. Thus, the answer is yellow.

4/25 probability it is blue.

10/25 = 2/5 probability it is green.
