Answer:

3/14

Explanation:

Assuming you draw one after the other without replacement, you have a 1/2 chance of drawing blue the first time, and after one is taken out, you have 7 left. In order to draw 2 blues you would have to have a blue the first time, so there would be 3 blue left. Multiplying the 2 probabilities gets 1/2*3/7= 3/14. Double check that though.
