Critics of globalization believe that: Group of answer choices the main winners of globalization are the low-wage workers. the offshoring of business services jobs to lower-wage countries inherently creates greater opportunities at home. growing trade deficits and slow wage growth are damaging economies. when production moves to countries to take advantage of less-regulated environments, an upward pressure is created on wages and working conditions.

Aproduction line has three machines a, b, and c, with reliabilities of .96, .86, and .85, respectively. the machines are arranged so that if one breaks down, the others must shut down. engineers are weighing two alternative designs for increasing the line’s reliability. plan 1 involves adding an identical backup line, and plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. in either case, three machines (a, b, and c) would be used with reliabilities equal to the original three. a. compute overall system reliability under plan 1. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability b. compute overall system reliability under plan 2. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability c. which plan will provide the higher reliability? plan2plan1
