Answer:

0.625

Explanation:

5/8 because there are 5 blue marbles and there are 3 yellow marbles. If you add them it equals 8.

The probability is 5/8.

If you do 5 divided by 8 it gives you 0.625.

Honestly i don't know what you mean by "rounded to three decimal places."

Sorry if it's not really healpful.
