You would start by finding the total amount of marbles, which in this case is 20.

Then find the total amount of blue AND green balls. 10.

Then put 10/20, simplify, and you have yourself 1/2.

The probability of selecting a blue or green ball on the first draw is 1/2

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur. It is expressed as:

Probability = Expected outcome/Total outcome

If a bag of the same size small balls contains 6 blue balls, 5 red balls, 5 yellow balls, and 4 green balls, the:

Total outcome = 6 + 5 + 5 + 4

Total outcome = 20 balls

Get the expected outcome

Pr(blue ball) = number of blue/Total outcome = 6/20

Pr(green ball) = number of green ball/Total outcome= 4/20

Probability of selecting a blue or green ball on the first draw = 6/20 + 4/20

Probability of selecting a blue or green ball on the first draw = 10/20 = 1/2

Hence the probability of selecting a blue or green ball on the first draw is 1/2
