Question 1138921: a pair of brown or black sandals is available in sizes 7 8 or 9 if the shoe salesman chooses a random pair of those sandals what is the probability he will choose the black sandals in size 8. Answer by ikleyn(52908) (Show Source):
As it is formulated and presented, it is NOT a Math problem in Probability.
It only demonstrates that the person who invented/created this set of words, is unfamiliar with the subject
and is unable to choose and to place appropriate English words and terms to make sense.
I am not going to edit your post for you - it is the visitor's job and responsibility to present a correct,
precise, unambiguous and accurate formulation to the problem.

OK, I thought on how to formulate and to present this problem in correct wording and mathematical form.
Below is my version.
You went to a shoes store. In response to your request, the salesman
can choose and bring you a random pair of brown or black sandals in sizes 7 8 or 9 with equal probability.
what is the probability he will bring you the black sandals in size 8.
Then the answer is obvious: the probability is = .
