Answer:

3/56

Explanation:

Probability is the ratio of the number of possible outcome to the number of total outcome.

Given that two marbles are drawn without replacement from a box with 1 blue, 3 white, 2 green, and 2 red marbles.

The total number of marbles in the box

= 1 + 3 + 2 + 2

= 8 marbles

The probability that the first marble is white and the second marble is blue

= 3/8 * 1/7

= 3/56
