Question

A manufacturer of liquid laundry detergent has a .02 probability that the detergent bottles will be improperly filled. (Either too much or too little detergent.) There is a .03 probability that the label on the bottle will not be affixed properly. If the events of bottle fill and affixing the label are independent, then the probability of a bottle being filled improperly and having an improperly affixed label is

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0006

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability is

Given that

A denotes the bottle being filled improperly

And,  

B denotes the label on the bottle will not be affixed properly

So,

P(A) = 0.02 ,

ANd, P(B) = 0.03

Also that A and B are independent events.

So, by property of independence is

P(A \cap B) = P(A and B) = P(A) P(B)

= P(A and B) =P(A)P(B)

= 0.02 × 0.03

= 0.0006
