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 .
