Answer / gregg
put 1 red marble in one jar and all the rest (99) in the
other.
This gives you 50% from the first jar (if they pick that
jar they will get red 100% of the time). For the other jar
the chances are 49/99 or 49.494949%. Divide that by 2 and
its 24.7474%. Total odds are 50% plus 24.7474% = 74.7474%

Answer / john bevan
So long as you have at least 1 red marble in each jar you
have 100% chance of a red marble being picked. The question
only states that the jar is selected at random.
