Probability = 

             (number of ways it can come out the way you want)
divided by
             (total number of ways it can come out).

Total number of ways to draw a marble = 30 (marbles in the bag).

Number of ways it can succeed = 15 (number of red or green ones)

Probability = 15/30 = 1/2 = 50% .
