Answer:

P(X=5)=0.1032

Step-by-step explanation:

This variable can be modeled by a binomial distribution, with parameters n=15 (sample size) and p=0.2 (the individual probability that the company use a consultant).

The probability that k companies that outsource overseas use a consultant can be written as:

P(x=k) = \dbinom{n}{k} p^{k}(1-p)^{n-k}\\\\\\P(x=k) = \dbinom{15}{k} 0.2^{k} 0.8^{15-k}\\\\\\

Then, the probability that exactly five companies that outsource overseas use a consultant is:

P(x=5) = \dbinom{15}{5} p^{5}(1-p)^{10}=3003*0.0003*0.1074=0.1032\\\\\\
