The probability of selecting two blue balls is the product of the probability of selecting a blue ball on the first draw and the probability of selecting a blue ball on the second draw. The probability of selecting a blue ball on the first draw is 12/50, and the probability of selecting a blue ball on the second draw is 11/49. Therefore, the probability of selecting two blue balls is (12/50) * (11/49) = 0.0539 (rounded to four decimal places).
