1. **State the problem:** We have a bag with 2 red marbles and 3 blue marbles, total 5 marbles.
We want to find the probability of drawing 2 red marbles when drawing 2 marbles without replacement.
2. **Formula for probability:**
$$\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}$$
3. **Calculate total number of ways to draw 2 marbles from 5:**
$$\binom{5}{2} = \frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!} = \frac{5 \times 4}{2 \times 1} = 10$$
4. **Calculate number of favorable outcomes (drawing 2 red marbles):**
There are 2 red marbles, so number of ways to choose 2 red marbles:
$$\binom{2}{2} = 1$$
5. **Calculate probability:**
$$\text{Probability} = \frac{1}{10}$$
6. **Final answer:**
The probability of drawing the two red marbles is **$\frac{1}{10}$** or 0.1.
