Answer:

2.25%

Explanation:

To answer the question, you meet to first need to determine the probability of drawing a blue card once.

So, there are 3 blue cards out of a total of 20, the probability is 3/20 or 0.15.

Thus, the probability that both cards drawn are blue is:

(3/20) x (3/20)

= 0.0225 or 2.25%.

Therefore the answer to your question is, 2.25%
