Probability simplified is almost like asking how much are you likely to do something,in this case; select a certain color of marbles.

The Probability of choosing a red marble is 4 expressed as a numerator to the total number of marbles.(4/12---> 1/3)

Green- (3/12---> 1/4)


Yellow- (5/12)

For this question you don't even have to calculate the probability. You're most likely to select the yellow ones because they're the majority.


Hope this helped:)
