Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of robbers be x

If they share 6 rolls each, the tota rolls will be 6x and since they have five remainder, the overall total is then 6x+5

In case they share 7 rolls each, it means they have 7x rolls but here they will be less 8 rolls hence 7x-8 is the overall total.

Equating these two

7x-8=6x+5

Arranging similar terms

7x-6x=8+5

x=13

Therefore, the robbers are 13

The rolla they have will be

6(13)+5=83

7(13)-8=83

An advertising campaign is canceled before launch with probability 0.10, in which case the marketing company is fired with proba

Feliz [49]

Answer:

0.2231 (22.31%)

Step-by-step explanation:

defining the event F = the marketing company is fired, then the probability of being fired is:

P(F)= probability that the advertising campaign is cancelled before lunch * probability that marking department is fired given that the advertising campaign was cancelled before lunch + probability that the advertising campaign is launched but cancelled early * probability that marking department is fired given that the advertising campaign is launched but cancelled early .... (for all the 4 posible scenarios where the marketing department is fired)

thus

P(F) =0.10 * 0.74 + 0.18 * 0.43 + 0.43 * 0.16 + 0.29*0.01 = 0.2231 (22.31%)

then the probability that the marketing department is fired is 0.2231 (22.31%)
