Question:

A mail-order firm considers three possible events in filling an order:

A: The wrong item is sent.

B: The item is lost in transit.

C: The item is damaged in transit.

Assume that A is independent of both B and C and that B and C are mutually exclusive. The individual event probabilities are P1A2 = 0.02, P1B2 = 0.01, and P1C2 = 0.04. Find the probability that at least one of these foul-ups occurs for a randomly chosen order.
