n April 20, 2010, an explosion at BP PLC’s Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico caused the largest oil spill and one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. Because the incident occurred at the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, this incident is often referred to as the Deepwater Horizon spill. Approximately 4.9 million barrels of oil were released, threatening the marine environment of the Gulf of Mexico as well as the environment and communities of the Gulf Coast region of the United States. In addition, 11 workers died and 17 were injured in the explosion. While BP bore primary legal responsibility for the spill, Transocean Corporation (the drilling rig operator) and Halliburton Company (the construction contractor) were also held partially responsible.
The spill’s financial costs to BP were enormous but also highly uncertain in the years that followed. Initially, the company incurred large costs to respond to the explosion and contain the spill. As time passed, the…

- Earthquakes are not uncommon in the foothills of the Himalayas. But nobody can predict exactly when or where they will happen, so each one is a surprise. And then people have to respond quickly. They need to map out where the earthquake struck; get damage and casualty reports; and deliver people and aid supplies in a useful and timely manner. The screenshot below shows the supply chain set up to deliver aid supplies to Kathmandu, Nepal after an earthquake in 2015. Aid supplies arrived from three global depots where aid supplies had been stockpiled to be available for emergencies such as this. Imagine you are the person in charge of logistics for this mission. How will you manage this supply chain to support the mission?

- Suppose the following data represent the number of persons unemployed for a given number of months in Killeen, Texas. The values in the first column show the number of months unemployed and the values in the second column show the corresponding number of unemployed persons. Let x be a random variable indicating the number of months a randomly selected person is unemployed. Use the data to develop an empirical discrete probability distribution for x. Show that your probability distribution satisfies the conditions for a valid discrete probability distribution. What is the probability that a person is unemployed for two months or less?

This virus triggered crisis for the global economy and markets including Ghana. With an escalating number of confirmed cases globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the virus tobe a global pandemic, meaning that it will have a sustained global impact.In order to stop the spread of the Covid-19 outbreak, many countries across the world including Ghana implemented very tough measures such as introduction of travel restrictions, strict lockdown to try to contain the virus. The repercussion of these measures has been a total halt to major industrial production chains and as such affecting government’s tax revenue.Furthermore, some safety protocols such as the use of nose masks, the frequent washing of hands and the use of a 70% based alcohol sanitizer in sanitizing hands and also the practice of social distancing were recommended by World Health Organization to help stop the spread of the…arrow_forward20.
