Respuesta :

Answer: .012

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when two events A and B are independent of each other , then the probability of their intersection is given by :-

[tex]P(A\cap B)=P(A)\ \cdot\ P(B)[/tex]

Given : The probability that a shopper buys shoes is 0.12

The probability that a shopper buys a book is 0.10

Since, both the events are independent , then the probability that a shopper buys shoes and a book is given by :-

[tex]0.12\times0.10=0.012[/tex]

Hence, the probability that a shopper buys shoes and a book is .012 .

Answer:

0.012 is the answer
