= 25%. (Notice!).
Back to our problem, now here we have 3 paint brands and one of them is the right paint brand and two of them are not correct brands. so the prabablity that the customer has picked not correct brand is and her husband has not picked correct brand is also
, since two probabilities are compound probabilities i.e indepandant of each other the probablity that both woman and her husband fail get correct brand is the product of the two and is =
×
=
