In a magazine survey: 60% of respondents said that they used reusable shopping bags;
32% asked for plastic, and 8% requested paper
10 selected find probability 6 will use reusable bags and 2 ask for paper or plastic.

ANSWER. This probability is 0 (zero).

Explanation.

According to the condition, 60% + 32% + 8% = 100% of customers use one of the three types of bags.

In the question, 6 + 2 = 8 is not 10; therefore, the question asks about a situation,
which NEVER may happen, under the imposed condition.
