An engineering company advertise a job in three newspapers
A, B and C. It is known that these papers attract
undergraduate engineering readerships in the proportions
2:3:1. The probabilities that an engineering undergraduate
sees and replies to the job advertisement in these papers are
0.002, 0.001 and 0.005 respectively. Assume that the
undergraduate sees only one job advertisement. i) If the
engineering company receives only one reply to it
advertisements, calculate the probability that the applicant
has seen the job advertised in a place A? ii) If the company
receives two replies, what is the probability that both
2 1,2,8 1,2,3,
applicants saw the job advertised in paper A?

5A. A shop manufacturing company was distributed a particular
type of brand through a large number of retail shops. Before
a healthy advertising campaign, the mean sales per week, per
shop was 140 dozen. After the campaign a sample of 26
shops was taken and the mean sales were found to be 147
dozen’s with standard deviation 16. Can you consider the
advertisement effective? [ the tabulated value at LOS is 1,2,8 1,2,3,
