Answer 10

in the dark? haha thats the same supposing he is blind.

so same with this one, two independent events occurring one after the other.

lets assume that \( P(1) \) is the prob. for wearing a black shirt, whilst \( P(2) \) is the prob. for wearing tan pants

can you determine the fractions?

Answer 11

1/2 = 50%

Answer 12

lets keep it as fractions
there are 3 total shirts right? he will only wear one of them -- so we write:
\[ P(1)= \frac{1}{3} \]
as for the pants, we have got 2 possible options -- he also gets to wear only one pair of them :
\[ P(2)=\frac{1}{2} \]
\[ P(1 \cap 2) = P(1) \times P(2) \]
\[ P(1 \cap 2) = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{2} \]
\[ P(1 \cap 2) = ???? \]

Answer 13

1/6
