The probability that a randomly selected bottle is correctly placed AND is a Plastic #4 bottle can be calculated by dividing the number of correctly placed Plastic #4 bottles by the total number of bottles.
Correctly placed Plastic #4 bottles = 5
Total bottles = 5 (correctly placed) + 2 (incorrectly placed) = 7
Probability = 5/7
Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected bottle is correctly placed AND is a Plastic #4 bottle is 5/7. The answer is not listed in the responses above, so it can be written out as the final answer.
