In the past few years, outsourcing overseas has become more frequently used than ever before by U.S. companies. However, outsour

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. a. What is the probability that exactly 5 companies that outsource overseas use a consultant

Answer:

<h2>0.1</h2><h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

please see attached the annotated solution

Given data

p=20%= 0.2

n=15 companies

let x = 5 the number of companies that outsource to overseas consultants

The binomial  probability distribution is given as

P(x=λ)=nCx*P^x*q^n-x

we also know that q=1-p

Alex eats 2 pieces of candy. Marisol eats 3 times as many pieces of candy as Alex. Which equation can be used to determine the a
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

m = 3a

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of pieces of candy eaten by Alex is not important.

The only thing that matters is that Marisol eats 3 times as many pieces of candy.

If a is the number eaten by Andy, then 3 times a equals the number of pieces of candy eaten by Marisol, or m=3a

There are no results for an 8 sideded fair die with faces labelled 2,3,3,4,7, 7,7,7 and 9 is rolled finmd the probibilty sou;lti
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Probability of getting a number which is not 2 = 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Total number of faces = 8

Number of face with 2 = 1

Number of face with 3 = 2

Number of face with 4 = 1

Number of face with 7 = 3

Number of face with 9 = 1

Find:

Probability of getting a number which is not 2

Computation:

Probability of not an event = 1 - [Number of favourable outcomes / Total number of outcomes]

Probability of getting a number which is not 2 = 1 - [1/8]

Probability of getting a number which is not 2 = [8-1] / 8

Probability of getting a number which is not 2 = 7/8

The profile of the cables on a suspension bridge may be modeled by a parabola. The central span of the bridge is 1210 m long and
brilliants [131]

Answer:

The approximated length of the cables that stretch between the tops of the two towers is 1245.25 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the parabola is:

y=0.00035x^{2}

Compute the first order derivative of <em>y</em> as follows:

 y=0.00035x^{2}

\frac{\text{d}y}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}[0.00035x^{2}]

    =2\cdot 0.00035x\\\\=0.0007x

Now, it is provided that |<em>x </em>| ≤ 605.

⇒ -605 ≤ <em>x</em> ≤ 605

Compute the arc length as follows:

\text{Arc Length}=\int\limits^{x}_{-x} {1+(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}})^{2}} \, dx

                  =\int\limits^{605}_{-605} {\sqrt{1+(0.0007x)^{2}}} \, dx \\\\={\displaystyle\int\limits^{605}_{-605}}\sqrt{\dfrac{49x^2}{100000000}+1}\,\mathrm{d}x\\\\={\dfrac{1}{10000}}}{\displaystyle\int\limits^{605}_{-605}}\sqrt{49x^2+100000000}\,\mathrm{d}x\\\\

Now, let

x=\dfrac{10000\tan\left(u\right)}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow u=\arctan\left(\dfrac{7x}{10000}\right)\\\\\Rightarrow \mathrm{d}x=\dfrac{10000\sec^2\left(u\right)}{7}\,\mathrm{d}u

\int dx={\displaystyle\int\limits}\dfrac{10000\sec^2\left(u\right)\sqrt{100000000\tan^2\left(u\right)+100000000}}{7}\,\mathrm{d}u

                  ={\dfrac{100000000}{7}}}{\displaystyle\int}\sec^3\left(u\right)\,\mathrm{d}u\\\\=\dfrac{50000000\ln\left(\tan\left(u\right)+\sec\left(u\right)\right)}{7}+\dfrac{50000000\sec\left(u\right)\tan\left(u\right)}{7}\\\\=\dfrac{50000000\ln\left(\sqrt{\frac{49x^2}{100000000}+1}+\frac{7x}{10000}\right)}{7}+5000x\sqrt{\dfrac{49x^2}{100000000}+1}

Plug in the solved integrals in Arc Length and solve as follows:

\text{Arc Length}=\dfrac{5000\ln\left(\sqrt{\frac{49x^2}{100000000}+1}+\frac{7x}{10000}\right)}{7}+\dfrac{x\sqrt{\frac{49x^2}{100000000}+1}}{2}|_{limits^{605}_{-605}}\\\\

                  =1245.253707795227\\\\\approx 1245.25

Thus, the approximated length of the cables that stretch between the tops of the two towers is 1245.25 meters.
