Answer:

0.8 probability that it is large or white.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question:

We have 19 + 11 = 30 marbles, which means that 30 is the number of total outcomes.

We have 19 large marbles, and 5 small marbles which are white, which means that the number of desired outcomes is 19 + 5 = 24. So

[tex]p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{24}{30} = 0.8[/tex]

0.8 probability that it is large or white.
