In Bill the Boring's dryer there are 15 black shirts, 7 gray shirts, 9 black sweaters, and 6 gray sweaters. Bill is going to take one of these pieces of clothing out of the dryer at random to check if his clothes are completely dry. What is the probability that the piece of clothing Bill takes out is black or is a shirt? Do not round intermediate computations, and round your answer to the nearest hundredth. 0.01

Please show as much work as possible, and please do not skip steps. I really want to learn how to solve this, so if you use a axiom please include it. Problem Statement: One out of every one- thousand people have disease X. A new test for X is available, but it's not very accurate. If you have X, there is an 80% chance the test comes back positive and a 20% chance it comes back negative. If you don't have X, there is a 60% chance the test comes back negative and a 40% chance it comes back positive. Question: You are randomly chosen to be tested for X. Since the test is not very accurate, you areadministered the test 10 times; assume the outcomes of these 10 tests are independent. Sevenout of the 10 tests come back positive. Given these test results, what is the probability youhave X?
I am studying for a precalculus exam and I am stuck on this problem and would like help. Question 9 is the one I'm working. The orange line is around where I believe I messed up. Below that line is an answer I got from a calculator in order to finish question 10. I need help understanding how to complete question 9 without using an internet calculator.
That is the first answer I got and it was also marked as incorrect. I am not sure why. I also tried the rounded version and it didn't work.
