The probability of pulling out a yellow marble can be calculated by taking the number of yellow marbles (2) and dividing it by the total number of marbles in the bag (5 green marbles + 2 yellow marbles + 3 blue marbles = 10 total marbles).

2/10 simplifies to 1/5.

Therefore, the probability of pulling out a yellow marble is 1/5.
