    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%)
