Every morning a math instructor picks out two socks completely at random from his closet; there's only a 20% chance they match. If they don't match there is a 60% chance his students will laugh at him, while if his socks do match there is only a 10% chance of his students laughing at him. On a given day, what is the probability that his students laugh at him?
