The probability of choosing a green marble from this jar would be 6/15. You get this answer by adding up the sum of all the marbles.
There are 15 blue marbles, 8 yellow marbles and 27 red marbles for a total of 50 marbles. Since there are no green marbles in the lot, It is impossible to pull a green marble from the lot. The is no probability whatsoever! "There just ain't no green ones to pull."
We will assume that the bag contains 11 marbles (this is not a trick question!), so 4 are blue and 7 are not blue, so the probability of a color other than blue is 7/11.
Probability of drawing a red marble = 4/16 = 1/4 Probability of drawing not a red marble = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4
1 chance in 10.10 %
There are 16 marbles total and 7 green ones, so the probability is 7/16.

This is the same as the probability of choosing either a red of a blue marble. There are 5+4 out of 15 ways of doing this. The probability is therefore 9/15 = 3/5.

The probability is 0.56
There are 11+10+17+15+3=56 marbles in total. Of those marbles, 11 are blue and 17 are red, so there are 11+17=28 blue and red marbles. Therefore the probability of choosing a blue or red marble is 28/56=.5, or 50%.
There are 15 blue marbles, 8 yellow marbles and 27 red marbles for a total of 50 marbles. Since there are no green marbles in the lot, It is impossible to pull a green marble from the lot. The is no probability whatsoever! "There just ain't no green ones to pull."
The probability of choosing a blue marble is 5 in 15 or 1 in 3. The probability of then choosing a green marble is 5 in 14. (One is missing) Multiply the two probabilities and you get 5 in 42.(P = 0.1190... about 12%).

If one marble is chosen at random, the probability is 6/(4+6+5) = 6/15 = 2/5
If you pick only one marble from the bag, at random, it can be any one of 26 marbles. Out of these, 5 of the marbles are green. Thus, there are 26 possible outcomes out of which 5 are favourable - to the event that the marble is green. Therefore the probability of a green marble is 5/26. The calculations become more complicated if you consider choosing a green marble in several attempt: it depends on whether or not the marbles are replaced before the next one is picked.
