To find the probability of drawing two red marbles from a bag containing three red marbles and two green marbles (a total of five marbles), you can use the combination formula. The number of ways to choose 2 red marbles from 3 is ( \binom{3}{2} = 3 ), and the total ways to choose 2 marbles from 5 is ( \binom{5}{2} = 10 ). Thus, the probability of drawing two red marbles is ( \frac{3}{10} ) or 0.3.
