(1 point)
∘ it is possible, but very unlikely
∘ it is possible and likely
∘ it is impossible.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

There are 10 red and 3 blue marbles, so red marbles are in the majority. Picking 2 red marbles without replacement is possible. Since red marbles are more numerous, it's also likely (probability of first red: \( \frac{10}{13} \), second red: \( \frac{9}{12} \), product is relatively high).

Answer:

It is possible and likely.
