    The probability that a randomly selected carton has a puncture or a smashed corner is 0.143

    Step-by-step explanation:

    we know that P (A∪B) = P (A) + P (B) - P (A∩B).

    since given that P (A) = Probability of getting puncture = 0.08

    P (B) = probability of getting smashed corner = 0.07

    P (A∩B) = probability of getting both puncture and smashed corner = 0.007

    P (A∪B) = probability of getting any of them

    so P (A∪B) = 0.08 + 0.07 - 0.007 = O. 143
