It was d

Answer 8

nice, it was very tricky haha!

Answer 9

I think that:
since we have 6 newspapers, the probability to get the TUV newspaper is 1/6, so the requested probability is given by the subsequent product of the single probabilities:
1/6*.887

Answer 10

p=1/6* 0.887=14.78 %

Answer 11

Yea, and since that answer was not there it is insufficient data.

Answer 12

I know what you are doing though

Answer 13
