Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Total shirts: 4

White shirts: 1

p(white shirt) = 1/4

Total ties: 3

Striped ties: 1

p(striped tie) = 1/3

The overall probability is the product of the individual probabilities.

p(white shirt & striped tie) = p(white shirt) * p(striped tie) = 1/4 * 1/3 = 1/12
