We are asked to find the probability that the student sold 11-15 T-shirts or less than 6 T-shirts.

The total number of club members = 2 + 14 + 12 + 3 + 6 + 1 = 38

Probability of 11-15 T-shirts:

From the table, 3 club members bought 11 - 15 T-shirts.

So the probability is 3/38

Probability of less than 6 T-shirts:

Less than 6 T-shirts means 1 - 5 plus 0 T-shirts.

Form the table, 14 club members bought 1 - 5 T-shirts and 2 club members bought 0 T-shirts.

Total club member who bought 1 - 5 and 0 T-shirts = 14 + 2 = 16

So the probability is 16/38

Now we have to add them together to find the probability that the student sold 11-15 T-shirts or less than 6 T-shirts.

(or means to add)

So the probability is 3/38 + 16/38 = 19/38 = 0.5000

Therefore, the correct answer is option c.
