Solution

To find the probability of picking a black shirt from the second box, we need to consider the total number of shirts in the second box and the number of black shirts in the second box.

The total number of shirts in the second box is 3 black shirts + 5 green shirts = 8 shirts.

The number of black shirts in the second box is 3 black shirts.

Therefore, the probability of picking a black shirt from the second box is 3 black shirts / 8 shirts = 3/8.
