    Whilst it seems an unlikely scenario, unless we have reason to believe Susie is not making a random choice but is making a free selection, then the previous withdrawals make no difference as the marble is returned each time. Therefore the probability is the same as at the beginning which is 5 red / 15 total marbles, or 1 in 3.
