1 On each day that Tamar goes to work, he wears either a blue suit with probability 0.6 or a grey suit with probability 0.4. If he wears a blue suit then the probability that he wears red socks is 0.2. If he wears a grey suit then the probability that he wears red socks is 0.32. (i) Find the probability that Tamar wears red socks on any particular day that he is at work.
