    It's difficult to draw a tree diagram with this software.

    Try to do it yourself & you will find the followings:

    If A is selected (P (A) = 1/2) we can get ether red (p (A & red) = 4/7

    so P (A∩red) = 1/2 x 4/7 = 4/14

    Also we can get P (blue) = 3/7 & P (A∩blue) = 1/2 x 3/7 = 3/14

    Same reasoning for B & you will get P (B∩read) 1/2 x 3/4 = 3/8

    Also we can get P (B∩blue) = 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/8

    Probability of blues is either 3/14 or 1/8

    P (blue) = 3/8 + 1/8 = 19/56 = 0.339
