Answer:

1/16

Explanation:

The probability of getting a blue marble is :
(3)/(5+3+2+2) = (1)/(4)

As the marble is replaced in the box, the probability of getting a blue marble on the second round is
(1)/(4) too.

When you have mutliple events which are following themselves, you should multiply the probabilities of each event:


(1)/(4) X (1)/(4) = (1)/(4X4) = (1)/(16)
