Discuss how a manager of a retail store can use both the binomial and Poisson distributions to make business decisions. Explain how the distributions differ. Provide examples of the type of data that could be used in calculating the probabilities.
The binomial and Poisson distributions are two different discrete probability distributions. Explain the differences between the distributions and provide an example of how they could be used in the healthcare industry. Identify the functions for binomial, Poisson, and normal distributions and discuss how Excel can be used to calculate probabilities of X, <X, and >X. Apply an example to at least one business scenario.
The Binomial and Poisson Distributions Both the Binomial and Poisson Distributions deal with discrete data where we are counting the number of occurrences of an event. However, they are very different distributions. This problem will help you be able to recognize a random variable that belongs to the Binomial Distribution, the Poisson Distribution or neither. Characteristics of a Binomial Distribution Characteristics of a Poisson Distribution The Binomial random variable is the count of the number of success in n trials: number of...
Describe the differences between the use of the binomial and Poisson distribution. Provide one example of how each can be used and explain why you selected the example.
A retail store is currently short of a certain product, and the manager is now planning on how many amounts of such product to import for the sales of them in next month. The store pays $20 (the import price) per unit of the product, and then sells it for $30 (the marked price in that store) per unit. However, if the store is not able to sell these imported products in the next month, these products must be disposed...
Discuss how the Metro-E can contribute with respects to both the POS and Phone systems From the perspective of Human Resource manager in HR department : Suggest ONE advantage for the POS and ONE advantage for the phones. Request information from TWO other departments that could assist in your investigation. Please specify both the TYPE, and specific CONTENTS of the report you are requesting (Unit 3 types of output) Discuss how the metro-E and the internet can contribute with respects...
This discussion question should be addressed in these three steps: 1. Discuss how a manager can control employees to make necessary changes in an HCO. 2. How do you feel about using intuition rather than rational thinking to make decisions? 3. Compare and contrast radical change and incremental change. 4. Discuss how nonverbal communication is important for managers
A denim company sells its jeans both online and at the retail store. Assume that 80% of the company's sales are retail, and 20% of sales are online. A. What's the probability that all of the next four pairs of jeans are sold online? B. What's the probability that 3 out of the next 4 parts of jeans are sold online? C. Use your answers from parts (a and b) to derive a formula for p(x), the probability distribution of...

Binomial Distributions Given your statistical knowledge, you have been asked to assist the quality control manager of a local manufacturer in establishing and seeing that the factory conforms to standards set by management. The facility manufactures a new electronic toy. The factory can produce 1000 toys per day. Management has indicated that initially they will be satisfied if the defect rate is 3% or less. Since you can’t quality-test every toy produced, you suggest that a random sample of 40...
