Solution

According to the analysis.
Defective T-shirts made by one company = 006%
$= \frac{0.06}{100} = \frac{6}{10000}$
But according to the student, defective T-shirts = 6 out of every 100 = $\frac{6}{100}$
Hence, student's error is that, the defective T-shirts are 6 out of every 10000 (not 100).
