ANSWERS: There was a format called Company Town where the company would virtually own and control the entire town including daily need item stores. Workers were lured with attractive wages and accommodation. But, the wages were paid in 'Scrips' which were company printed currency meant to be spent in the stores owned by the company owned and controlled stores inside the company town. This led to the employees getting dependent on employers and their personal freedom and space getting interfered by employers. This relation led to the term 'Wage Slavery'. This practice was continued in mining town till 1960s whereas the concept of company town ended in the 1920s.

A thief steals an ATM card and must randomly guess the correct three​-digit pin code from a 9​-key keypad. Repetition of digits
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The thief has a 0.11% probability of hitting the pin code on the first try.

Explanation:

Simply, if the ATM card has a 3-digit code that can be repeated, and the board has 9 numbers (for example, from 1 to 9), we must start from the smallest number that could be formed with these numbers to the highest number that these numbers could also compose, which in the case would be 111 and 999. Then, 889 different numbers could be formed (it is the distance between 111 and 999), with which the possibility of hitting the key to the first attempt would be 1 in 889 times, or 1/889.

To take the probability to a percentage, we must know that 889 / 8.89 gives 100. Therefore, dividing 1 / 8.89 we will know the percentage of probabilities of hitting the key on the first attempt: 1 / 8.89 = 0.11.

This shows us that the thief has a 0.11% probability of hitting the key on the first try.

The intent of corporate advertising is to make sure that all of a company's products are seen in a common, positive manner. True
evablogger [386]

Answer:

False since the intent of corporate advertising is usually done to ensure that the perception of the company's image is positive.

Explanation:

Corporate advertising is usually done to ensure that the perception of the company's image is positive. The products under the corporation is not a priority in this case, rather its is the company as a whole that needs to be viewed in good light.

This kind of advertising forms part of the public relations techniques used by the company or institution to improve its public image. There are so many companies with different brands under them that utilize this advertising technique to improve their standing in the public eye. It is a way of making the company itself to be a brand by advertising the company as a package.

These companies always want to prove that they care more about the public than they care for the products, in this way they create the perception that the company is primary and anything else is secondary.

Cooperate advertising is majorly used in companies whose business activities have a negative effect to the public. Cooperation that engage in mining activities or activities that affect the environment are likely to utilize this form of advertising.
