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\\\\\\

Does anyone know what absolute deviation is..?
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Mean absolute deviation (MAD) of a data set is the average distance between each data value and the mean. Mean absolute deviation is a way to describe variation in a data set. Mean absolute deviation helps us get a sense of how "spread out" the values in a data set are.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean absolute deviation of the data, start by finding the mean of the data set. Find the sum of the data values, and divide the sum by the number of data values. Find the absolute value of the difference between each data value and the mean: |data value – mean|.
