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

4+n=5

step-by-step explanation:

this is because the four is four hours and the n represents the 1 extra hour over the weekend.

b= i'm srry i don't know that one.

4+n=5 n=1 because if vernon plays 5 hours a week then 4+1=5 hours.

hope this : )
