    4/5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Andrew has just two possibilities: pulling out a white sock or pulling out a black sock.

    If the probability of Andrew pulling out a black sock is 1/5, knowing that the sum of both probabilities need to be 1, we can calculate the probability of pulling out a white sock if the following equations:

    Prob_white + Prob_black = 1

    Prob_black = 1/5

    So:

    Prob_white + 1/5 = 1

    Prob_white = 1 - 1/5 = 4/5

    The probability of Andrew pulling out a white sock is 4/5.
