The probability of picking a green marble can be found by dividing the number of green marbles by the total number of marbles:
P(green) = 6/11
The odds in favor of picking a green marble can be expressed as the ratio of the number of green marbles to the number of non-green marbles:
Odds in favor of green = 6 : 5
Therefore, the answer is option D: 6:11.

WRONG!
The bot found probability, not odds
prob(green) = 6/11
prob(not green) = 5/11
odds in favour of green = 6/11 : 5/11 = 6 : 5
