Answer:

The probability of selecting a white marble is 0.368

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

number of red marbles, R = 4

number of white marbles, W = 7

number of blue marbles, B = 8

Total number of marbles in the box = 4 + 7 + 8 = 19

The probability of selecting a white marble is given by;

P(W) = 7 / 19

       = 0.368

Therefore, the probability of selecting a white marble is 0.368
