Consider two boxes, one containing 1 black and 1 white marble, the other 2 black and 1 white marble. A box is selected at random, and a marble is drawn from it at random. What is the probability that the first box was the one selected given that the marble is white? (use a decimal number, rounded to the nearest 1000th. For example, 0.123)
