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

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

answer: i'm not going to give you the answer, but some hints to work it out.

step-by-step explanation: so, if there is a straight line that means that the line angle is 180°. so we subtract the 2 angle measures provided, (15 and 38) from 180. so the answer is 180 - (38 + 15). (you have to solve the equation)

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents
