40%

Explanation

There are 20 blue marbles and 30 non-blue marbles among 50 total. The number of ways to draw exactly two blue marbles and three non-blue marbles is C(20,2) × C(30,3) = 771,400; the number of ways to draw any five marbles is C(50,5) = 2,118,760. Dividing gives about 0.364, or 36%, so the approximate probability is 36%.
