There are 72 different ways the director can fill the positions.
(1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8) x 2
You multiply it by 2 because there are going to be 4 other people who will not have a position, and 8/4 is 2.
3x2+4x=2
6+4x=2
-6 -6
4x=-4
4 4
x=-1
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Two rolls of die
one of the outcomes is 6
atleast one is 6
Required
P(E|A)
First, list out the outcome of each


So:

Where:



So:

For any equation,

assume solution of a form, 
Which leads to,

Simplify to,

Then find solutions,

For non repeated real root y, we have a form of,

Following up,
For two non repeated complex roots
where,

and,
the general solution has a form of,

Or in this case,

Now we just refine and get,

Hope this helps.
