A golfer has 12 golf shirts in his closet. Suppose 9 of these shirts are white and the others blue. He gets dressed in the dark, so he just grabs a shirt and puts it on. He plays golf two days in a row and does not do laundry.

What is the likelihood both shirts selected are white?

A golfer has 15 golf shirts in his closet. Suppose 3 of these shirts are white, 2 of these shirts are blue and the others red. He gets dressed in the dark, so he just grabs a shirt and puts it on. He plays golf two days in a row and does not launder and return the used shirts to the closet. What is the likelihood both shirts selected are white? Round the answer to the 2 decimal places.

Solution please.

Wiger Toods brought 20 golf shirts to a tournament. Suppose that he brought 3 of these shirts are white, 1 of these shirts are black and the rest are salmon. He gets dressed hastily so that he just grabs the first shirt he can get his hands on. What is the probability that he will be dressed in a salmon shirt on the first two days of the tournament?

To determine the likelihood that both shirts selected are white, we need to consider the probability of selecting a white shirt on each day.

On the first day, the golfer has 12 shirts in total, out of which 9 are white. Therefore, the probability of selecting a white shirt on the first day is 9/12 or 3/4.

Now, on the second day, since the golfer did not do laundry, he still has the same 12 shirts in his closet. However, since he already selected a shirt on the first day, there are now only 11 shirts left to choose from. Out of these remaining shirts, there are still 9 white shirts. Therefore, the probability of selecting a white shirt on the second day is 9/11.

To find the likelihood of both shirts being white, we multiply the probabilities of selecting a white shirt on each day. Using the probability multiplication rule, the probability of both shirts being white is (3/4) * (9/11) = 27/44.

So, the likelihood that both shirts selected are white is 27/44.
