Answer:

Since each marble is replaced after being selected, the probability 3/5. If it is out of the whole bag, then the probability is 3/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is specifically asking about the blue and yellow marbles in the bag. Since there are 2 yellow marbles and 3 blue marbles, the total is 5 marbles. This then makes it 3/5 (3 being the blue marbles).
