Answer:

2/13 and 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a probability problem

Let us list the sample space

6 medium,

10 large, and

10 extra-large shirts.

The sample size is 6+10+10=26

1.The probability of a player picking a medium size for himself is

6/26=2/13

2.The probability of a player picking a medium size for his sister is

Note this is done without replacement of the first even above hence the sample size has reduced to 25

And the medium size has also reduced to 5

5/25=1/5
