Answer

$P(both~inspectors~do~not~identify)=0.04$

Work Step by Step

The events "inspector 1 does not identify" and "inspector 2 does not identify" are independent. Now, using the Multiplication Rule (see page 282): $P(both~inspectors~do~not~identify)=P(inspector~1~does~not~identify)\times P(inspector~2~does~not~identify)=0.2\times0.2=0.04$
