Answer 1

1/6th

Answer 2

will medal and fan

Answer 3

The probability of choosing a white shirt is 1/4 and the probability of choosing the tan pants is 1/2. The two events are independent, therefore the probability of 'white shirt/tan pants' is given by:
\[\large P(white\ shirt,\ \tan\ pants)=\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{1}{2}=you\ can\ calculate\]
