The number of marbles, or the fraction of marbles, is a simplification to make the experiment more intuitive. In reality, each marble has a probability of being picked, namely
, that may be different for other marbles. This affects the total probability of red marbles, which is
.
To take a simple example, Let's say that there are only two marbles in the bin, one red and one green, but the red marble has a higher probability of being picked than the green marble. In this case,
is not 1/2 though the fraction of red marbles is 1/2.
