Madelyn Lane · Answer 1

4+2+6+5=17 marbles in total.

P (yellow) = 4/17

P (blue) = 2/17

P (black) = 5/17

P (red) = 6/17

Hope I'm right for your sake.

Luis Gutierrez · Answer 2

Probability = (number of specific outcomes) / (number of possible outcomes)

There are 4+2+6+5=17 total marbles so:

P (Yellow) = 4/17

P (Blue) = 2/17

P (Black) = 5/17

P (Red) = 6/17
