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

In supply (and demand) problems, y is the number of items the supplier will produce (or the public will buy) if the price of the
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

A) (17 ; 550)

B) $17/item

C) 550

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must calculate the intersection point of the two lines. Since in that point <em>y</em> has the same value in both equations, we can obtain <em>x </em>by equalling the two equations and then using that value for obtaining <em>y</em>:

5x+465=-6x+652\\5x+6x=652-465\\11x=187\\x=\frac{187}{11}\\x=17

So the value of <em>x</em> in the intersection point is 17. We now use this value with either one of the equations to obtain <em>y</em><em>. </em>Let's use the supply equation:

y=5*17+465\\y=550

So the intersection point is (17 ; 550)

Supply and demand are in equilibrium when the amount of items on supply are the same as the ones on demand. That is the point were the two lines intersect, which means the selling price is the <em>x</em> coordinate and the amount of items is the <em>y</em> coordinate, so that is a selling price of <em>$17/item</em> with a number of items of <em>550</em>.

The volume of two spheres are 327\pi in^{3} and 8829\pi in^{3}
Crazy boy [7]
A dimension of a sphere is its radius, so it correlates with its volume, thus

\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{ratio relations}&#10;\\\\&#10;\begin{array}{ccccllll}&#10;&\stackrel{ratio~of~the}{Sides}&\stackrel{ratio~of~the}{Areas}&\stackrel{ratio~of~the}{Volumes}\\&#10;&-----&-----&-----\\&#10;\cfrac{\textit{similar shape}}{\textit{similar shape}}&\cfrac{s}{s}&\cfrac{s^2}{s^2}&\cfrac{s^3}{s^3}&#10;\end{array}\\\\&#10;-----------------------------

\bf \cfrac{\textit{similar shape}}{\textit{similar shape}}\qquad \cfrac{s}{s}=\cfrac{\sqrt{s^2}}{\sqrt{s^2}}=\cfrac{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;%The volume of two spheres are 327\pi in^{3} and 8829\pi in^{3}&#10;\cfrac{small}{large}\qquad \cfrac{s}{s}=\cfrac{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}\implies \cfrac{s}{s}=\cfrac{\sqrt[3]{327}}{\sqrt[3]{8829}}\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;8829=3\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 327\\&#10;\qquad 3^3\cdot 327&#10;\end{cases}

\bf \cfrac{s}{s}=\cfrac{\sqrt[3]{327}}{\sqrt[3]{3^3\cdot 327}}\implies \cfrac{s}{s}=\cfrac{\underline{\sqrt[3]{327}}}{3\underline{\sqrt[3]{327}}}\implies \cfrac{s}{s}=\cfrac{1}{3}
