I'm a little puzzled here, doesn't

Code: Select all

prob.d = (bluepulled/pulled) * (blue / total) / (blue/total)
just simplify to

Code: Select all

prob.d = (bluepulled/pulled)
???

Unless I'm missing something? :)

Try it :

Code: Select all

;Set the number of blue marbles 
Blue = 550 
;Set the number of green marbles 
Green = 250 
;Total number of marbles 
total = blue + green 

;Number of marbles we have pulled out so far? 
pulled = 67 

;How may of these were blue? 
bluepulled = 53 


prob.d = (bluepulled/pulled) * (blue / total) / (blue/total) 
Debug prob

prob.d = (bluepulled/pulled)
Debug prob                    ;Same answer!
