(A) Total number of shirts in the carton $= 100$.
$(i)$ Jimmy accepts only good shirts. The number of good shirts $= 88$.
Therefore,the probability that the shirt is acceptable to Jimmy $= \frac{88}{100} = 0.88$.
$(ii)$ Sujatha rejects only shirts with major defects. This means she accepts shirts that are good and shirts that have minor defects.
Number of shirts acceptable to Sujatha $= 88 + 8 = 96$.
Therefore,the probability that the shirt is acceptable to Sujatha $= \frac{96}{100} = 0.96$.
