2. Answer:

   There are three ways draw 2 white balls and 1 black ball from the three boxes. They are:

   Scenario 1: white ball from box 1, white ball from box 2, black ball from box 3

   Scenario 2: white ball from box 1, black ball from box 2, white ball from box 3

   Scenario 3: black ball from box 1, white ball from box 2, white ball from box 3

   For box #1: P(white ball) = 3/4 = 0.75 and P(black ball) = 1/4 = 0.25

   For box #2: P(white ball) = 2/4 = 0.5 and P(black ball)= 2/4 = 0.5

   For box #3: P(white ball) = 1/4 = 0.25 and P(black ball) = 3/4 = 0.75

   The probability of scenario 1 occurring is 0.75 * 0.5 * 0.75 = 0.28125

   The probability of scenario 2 occurring is 0.75 * 0.5 * 0.25 = 0.09375

   The probability of scenario 3 occurring is 0.25 * 0.5 * 0.25 = 0.03125

   Thus, the probability that 2 white balls and 1 black ball will be drawn is P(scenario 1) + P(scenario 2) + P(scenario 3) = 0.28125 + 0.09375 + 0.03125 = 0.40625=13/32.
