Answer:

0.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event of the cartons produced by a company that have a puncture

and B have a smashed corner

Given that P(A) = 33% or 0.33 and

P(B) = 44% =0.44

P(both) = P(AB) = 0.06

The probability  that a randomly selected carton has a puncture or a smashed corner.

=P(AUB)

= [tex]P(A)+P(B)-P(AB)\\=0.33+0.44-0.06\\=0.71[/tex]
