Which one of the following statements about the carbon, phosphorus, and nitrogen cycles is true? Soil bacteria drive the phosphorus cycle. The major source of nitrogen used by plants in photosynthesis is the atmosphere. The major source of carbon used by plants is the carbonate rocks and soil. Phosphorus has no atmospheric component.

This exercise illustrates that poor quality can affect schedules and costs. a manufacturing process has 130 customer orders to fill. each order requires one component part that is purchased from a supplier. however, typically, 3% of the components are identified as defective, and the components can be assumed to be independent. (a) if the manufacturer stocks 130 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components? (b) if the manufacturer stocks 132 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components? (c) if the manufacturer stocks 135 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components?
