Based on the information provided,
Jamie has 60 sports cards. 
He has already recorded a total of 11 football cards and 9 baseball cards =9+11=20 
9 out of 20 were baseball therefore, the probability of baseball cards can be obtained as: 
Probability=920 
=0.45 
The required most likely number of baseball cards =60×0.45=27 
Thus, the (d) 27 is correct.
