1. Answer:

   Step-by-step explanation:

   the amount of pens and pencils doesn’t really matter because we can use the following formula.

   P(E) + p(not E) = 1

   P(E) means the probability of something happening. Here this is x.

   p(not E) means the probability of something not happening. Here this is 3/8.

   So 3/8 + x = 1

   Solve the rest by urself
