    There are 20 marbles all together in the bag.

    5 of them are blue.

    The probability of pulling a blue one on the first draw is

    5 / 20.

    After that, there are 19 marbles left in the bag, and 4 of them are blue.

    The probability of pulling a blue marble on the second draw is

    4 / 19.

    The probability of both draws being blue is

    (5/20) x (4/19)

    = 1 / 19 = 5.26 ... % (rounded)
