cing is not without problems. A recent survey by Purchasing indicates that 20% of the companies that outsource overseas use a consultant. Suppose 15 companies that outsource overseas are randomly selected. Based on the relevant binomial distribution, what is the probability that exactly five companies that outsource overseas use a consultant?

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\\\\\\

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

49,088

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find 5.6% of 52,000. Simply multiply 52,000 by 0.056 (change the percent to a decimal) then you get 2,912.

Second, you need to subtract 2,912 from 52,000 which is 49,088

Find the mean:<br>31, 1, 12, 2, 21, 22, 1, 0, 31, 13
Bond [772]
The mean is 13.4 because after I add the numbers in the set, the sum comes out to be 134. There are 10 numbers in the set, so you divide 134 by 10, which is 13.4 (134 <span>÷ 10 = 13.4). That is how you get the mean. It's "mean" to you because you 'gotta do a lot of work to get your final mean. </span>

8. Find the value of x so that line mis parallel to line l. (1 p<br><br> (3x+21)°<br><br> (4x-7)
dybincka [34]

Answer: The value of x is 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since line m is parallel to line l.

So, we assume that

(3x+21)° and (4x-7)° are corresponding angles.

And we know that , corresponding angles formed when a transversal cut the  parallel line are equal.

So, they must be equal to each other.

3x+21=4x-7\\\\21+7=4x-3x\\\\28^\circ=x

Hence, the value of x is 28.

Write an exponential growth function to model the situation. A population of 422,000 increases by 12% each year.
Naya [18.7K]
This is just like working with money in a bank account
that's earning 12% interest.

If the population is 422,000 today, and
' n ' is the number of years after today,
then

         Population  =  422,000 (1.12)ⁿ .
