The probability of not choosing a black shirt is 8/10. Because there is 10 shirts and 8 are not black.

Answer:

80% or 8/10.

Explanation:

Assuming the shirts in the bottom right are the "black" shirts, there is ten total shirts (1 red, 4 blue, 2 green, 1 white, 2 black.) Out of the ten shirts, 8 are not black. This means that there is an 80% chance that you will select a shirt that is NOT black.
