Tiffany has white n black shoes in her shoe box. Da probalitly of her pulling out a white pair of shoes is 2/5. Wut is da chance of Tiffany randomly pulling out a black pair of shoes?

1 answer

If the probability of Tiffany pulling out a white pair of shoes is \( \frac{2}{5} \), then the remaining probability for pulling out black shoes can be found by subtracting the probability of pulling out white shoes from 1.

The total probability must equal 1:

\[ \text{Probability of white shoes} + \text{Probability of black shoes} = 1 \]

Let \( P(B) \) be the probability of pulling out a black pair of shoes. Then:

\[ \frac{2}{5} + P(B) = 1 \]

To find \( P(B) \):

\[ P(B) = 1 - \frac{2}{5} = \frac{5}{5} - \frac{2}{5} = \frac{3}{5} \]

Thus, the probability of Tiffany randomly pulling out a black pair of shoes is \( \frac{3}{5} \).
