    Answer: There is a 0.88% chance of pulling three red marbles in a row.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First pull = 4/15 (26.67%)

    second pull = 3/14 (21.43%)

    Third pull = 2/13 (15.38%)

    You need to multiply these three fractions to get the probability of pulling three reds in a row, doing that will get you 4/455 or 0.88%
