Answer:1,0.5, or 0 it depends

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that one event occurred depends on the total of random event, being 1 the most of the probabilities

If the two marbles are blue the probability to select a marble blue is 1

If one of the marbles is blue and the other marble is of any color the probability to select the blue marbles is:

P=1 - 1/2=1/2

Being 1/2 or 0.5 the answer

If any of the marbles are blue then the probabilities are 0
