Answer:


(1)/(15)

Explanation:

There are 2 yellow marbles, 3 pink marbles, and 5 blue marbles in the bag, for a total of 10 marbles.

Let's start with the probability that the first marble drawn is pink. Since there are 3 pink marbles out of the 10 total marbles, the probability of this happening is
3/10.

Since the first marble is not put back in the bag, there are now 9 marbles left, 2 of then being pink. The chances of drawing a pink marble now is
2/9. To find the chances of both of these events happening, multiply them together to get:


(3)/(10)\cdot (2)/(9)=(6)/(90)=\boxed{(1)/(15)}
