I'm assuming that the total number of marbles to be picked is 5 and that you are looking for the probability that you pick 3 red and 2 blue marbles.
The number of ways to pick the 3 red and 2 blue marbles can be found as follows:
There are 5 marbles, of which 3 are red and 2 blue.
Hence you have:number of ways of getting 3 red and 2 blue marbles.
I think you can now proceed with the probability.
