What this part means
The lower label selects a particular version, component, or indexed member of the quantity. For example, x₀ and xₜ can be values at different positions.
Its job in the formula
A subscript distinguishes a version, component, step, or member of a quantity. It does not automatically mean multiplication.

The passage around this formula
Say check A independently has recall against a real defect — the fraction of the time it would catch that class of problem if it ran — and check B has recall . If the two checks fail for unrelated reasons, the chance a defect slips past both is the product of the chances it slips past each:
Learn the underlying idea
A subscript is a label attached below a symbol. It often selects a time step, component, category, or member of a sequence.
