1. Describe the role probability information plays in the decision-making process.

Decision making involves selecting best alternative based on personal values and preferences. Therefore, a decision can only be made from some possible alternatives provided. The decision arrived is taken to be rational if it was the one which had the highest probability of success and it serves the decision makers life goals, desires, values and lifestyle. Likewise, in business organization the managers strive to make decisions which can propel an organization towards achieving its goals. They always consider the probability of an event occurring or even not occurring, and then they settle on one of the possible alternatives (McClave, Benson, ...

- What are the two types of statistics? (5pts.)

The two types of statistics are descriptive and inferential. In descriptive statistics, the data of a population is summarized graphically or numerically through derivation of statistics related to central tendency and dispersion around the same. The shape and nature of distribution is also used in descriptive statistics.
In inferential statistics, the parameters of a population are inferred according to sample statistics. This involves the estimation of statistics of a group allowing for approximation of information data relating to the entire population. In this type of statistics, modeling are used to generate mathematical ...

A multinational oil company is faced with the dilemma of either investing in a new oil rig which is currently open for bidding, or refurbishing its existing oil rigs. For the company to make the right decision, it must first start by computing the Expected Value of each of the available options. According to Hardman (2013, pg. 56), the Expected Value of a given variable is defined as the weighted-probability average of its possible outcomes. This definition implies that the Expected Value of a variable is the total product of the variable and the given probability of a specified outcome taking place at a ...

Findings

Based on the 2010 HSE data, we have done statistical analysis of all the variables as potential attributing factor to asthma. Variables such as salary, Smoking habits, Ethnicity, Drinking habits and Sex were analyzed. It was found that salary is negatively correlated with asthma or in simple words as the income of a household increases, chances of asthma reduce. Drinking was also found as a contributing factor to asthma. Heavy drinkers are less prone to asthma than non-drinkers. Also, it was established that there is not enough evidence that smoking causes asthma. It was also found that asthma is not biased ...

It is not a secret that determining the sample size that is optimal for a study is a very responsible and difficult process that requires considerable research.

Negotiation styles among different groups are entrenched in their customs and background. Negotiations are used by different groups to arrive at a common ground on certain issues and problem (Lewicki, Barry & Saunders , 2010). The negotiation depends on different variables such as people, circumstance, time and position of power. People in high positions of power have a high probability of getting aggressive on their negotiation platform.

The Americans have a tendency of picking up the phone and immediately starting the negotiation. The direct mode of negotiation may scare away clients who would see their mode of business as aggressive and arrogant. The ...

Heuristics is the use of guides to make decisions or to make solutions of any issues at hand (Hasite 2010). The problem solving made by the use of heuristics is usually based on experience. Many analysts have argued that the use of heuristics has enabled problems to be solved more promptly and also faster. The use of this phenomenon may involve the use of common sense as well as the use of thumbs. There are two major types of heuristics; availability and representativeness. This research paper will focus on the advantages and disadvantages of heuristics as an approach of ...

Condition such as a disease, before and after a diagnostic test, respectively. The result of the diagnostic test could be either positive or negative. In reality, the subjectivity of the probabilities is merely based on a piece of information, whether an individual has a condition or not. The condition is regarded as a psychological phenomenon to those who go through a certain diagnostic test. In addition, the probability is always a 0 per cent or a 100 per cent result. The difference between the pretest and posttest probabilities on a certain condition is a major ...

1. Divergent Thinking for Convergent Futures

Future is something that no one can predict with accuracy, even remotely. Businesses have a method of developing over time and expanding as well as contracting depending on the market situation, demand and technology changes. One the ways that have a scientific basis on predicting and preparing for the future is scenario spinning – method by which different future scenarios are painted along with the probability of their occurrence and then preparing for the future!

While indulging in scenario spinning it is vital to make them as divergent as possible, and this is where the ...

The NBA championship is the main basketball championship in the United States. The championship is divided into two sections, the West and East coast conferences, where teams from both sections compete to become the ultimate champions. From research and simple logic, it can be deduced that the team with the least losses in the season eventually go on to win the championship in the playoffs. However, the number of losses, or wins, that a team has does not solely determine the win, since the final games determine the eventual winner. However, the record that a team has indicates the probability of ...

Qn. 1. The interaction is among the determinants of the findings drawn from the test of the prediction, mainly because those that are higher PDI scorers are likely to be affected by their personal differences like distress, conviction and preoccupation. Therefore relating the levels of obesity as a relation to aggression levels will help increase the accuracy of the inferences drawn, mainly because it demonstrates that the influence of natural traits like obesity can influence the outlook of the members of the sample, on the information given after the study, which is the primary determinant of the outcomes from the ...

Introduction

In a negotiation process, the participants in the process essentially attempt to undertake some form of exchange or trade. The exchange can take different forms such as services for services, goods for services, money for services or money for goods. In all these forms of exchange or trade, each participant privy to the negotiation process aims at maximizing his/her advantage. In other words, the negotiator will try his best to come out with a good if not the best deal or cut. This means that each party will aim at gaining much more for little consideration or exchange.

Depending on the ...

Part I: Nonparametric Methods

A sign test is a nonparametric method used in statistics for comparison of a single sample with a hypothesized value. The test is commonly used in situations where a paired t-test is traditionally applied. In the study, a sample of n patients is used in determining the preference for central nervous system saturation. The main objective of conducting the test was to determine whether a difference in preferences between the central nervous system saturation and the time of oxygen admission existed. Sign test was explored in paired data whereby central nervous system saturation data from ten patients was collected on admission and 6 hours after ...

Risks and Hazards share a very confusing relationship as they are thought to be same by many hence they are used interchangeably. Bit practically, Risks and Hazards are quite different from each other. While a Hazard is defined as the potential for harm to people, property, or the environment; a risk is defined as an estimate of the probability of a hazards-related incident or exposure occurring and the severity of harm or damage that could result (Manuele, p. 111, 2004)

The definitions quite clearly and vividly the difference between these two terms.

In simpler terms while Hazard is a potential danger, risk measures the possibility of how much and how much can the hazard actually harm. ...

Qualitative and quantitative risk analysis are two crucial processes in risk management, itself an indispensable part of project management. This necessitates knowledge into the differences between qualitative and quantitative risk analysis, their applications, and determination of which one is most appropriate for the present IRTC project.

Differences between Qualitative and Quantitative Risk Analysis

In terms of conceptual difference, qualitative risk analysis prioritizes identified risks through assigning the probability or likelihood of taking place, and impact on the project should the risk occur. As a result, the project manager uses a probability and impact matrix (PIM) tool to undertake qualitative risk analysis (PMBOK, 2013). The rating scale that is ...

The logistics management involves the supply chain management that is charged with the responsibility of planning, implementing and controlling the efficient forwarding and the reverse flow of goods and the storage of the goods. It involves all the processes that take place from the time a good or service is produced to the time it will be consumed by the consumers. These must all be done in order to meet the use requirements (Lichtenstein, 1996). There are several risks that are involved during the time a given commodity is being transported from the point of production to the time it will ...

In the game theory, it is assumed that there are several players who are rational. They are interested in their gain in the entire process and the choices they make are geared towards their self-fulfillment. The classical example of the game theory is the prisoner’s dilemma. Two prisoners are held by security officials for a serious crime. There is no judicial evidence. Their conviction is based on both or either of the prisoners confessing to the crime. If one confesses, he gets immunity from prosecution while the other prisoner is jailed for a long time. If they both confess, they ...

Primary data is all about collecting and using data directly from the area of concern using methods such as interviews, surveys and focus groups while secondary data entails using data that is already existent like in journals and newsprints. Secondary data gives details about past areas of interest that were researched on while primary data gives information on the current area of interest to the researcher. Some of the disadvantages of using newspaper and magazine articles as secondary sources are that a person cannot know for sure if the articles represent the views of the writer or whether it represents a ...

Mendel’s Inheritance Patterns

Mendel’s approach in explaining genetic inheritance was different from the common genetic knowledge then, in that he explained that each trait was as a result of a pair of genes commonly referred to as alleles (O’Neil, 2011). The accepted knowledge back then was then traits (phenotypes) in living things were a blend from the parents. However, the Mendel’s approach contradicted with this notion arguing that there could never be a blend of traits in an offspring but existence of phenotypes being as either recessive or dominant. “An individual is said to be heterozygous when two alleles differ and homozygous when ...

Introduction

Consumer dissatisfaction normally leads to sales decline and switching of customers loyalty to another brand of product.

Introduction

Wind engineering is a significant component in civil engineering. This is because winds can have devastating effects on different manmade and natural structures. Windstorms produce large amounts of damage every year (Holmes, 2007). Weather conditions such as thunderstorms generate local winds, whereas hurricanes and typhoons may generate very strong winds. Designing of buildings and structure takes into account the dead load of the structure plus the imposed load. However, in including a factor of safety for the structures the engineers have to factor in the wind load.

The choices involved with organ transplants are never easy. There are more patients in need of new organs than the number of available organs, which means that doctors and transplant committees have to make decisions that are not palatable to many of us. They have to evaluate the possible quality of life of patients after they receive the transplants, and factors like longevity are a concern, but so are less quantitative ones, like their ability to contribute to society. Also, factors that are less specific to the patient can come into play, such as the ability of family members or ...
