A)l Supplyl chainsl arel alwaysl deterministicl systems.B)l Supplyl chainsl oftenl havel complicatedl networkl structures,l makingl exactl analysisl difficult.C)l Supplyl chainsl arel stochasticl systems,l withl randoml travell times,l leadl times,l andl orderl patterns.D)l Supplyl chainl simulationsl canl bel programmedl inl al matterl ofl minutes.
Answer:
B)l Supplyl chainsl oftenl havel complicatedl networkl structures,l makingl exactl analysisl difficult.C)l Supplyl chainsl arel stochasticl systems,l withl randoml travell times,l leadl times,l andl orderl patterns.
Q:l Supposel therel arel 40l randoml peoplel inl al room.l Whatl isl thel probabilityl thatl atl leastl twol ofl theml willl havel thel samel birthday?
A)l Closel tol 0 B)l Al bitl lessl thanl 1/2 C)l Almostl exactlyl 1/2 D)l Somewhatl greaterl thanl 1/2
Answer:
D)l Somewhatl greaterl thanl 1/2
Inl fact,l youl onlyl needl 23l peoplel inl thel rooml tol achievel al probabilityl ofl 1/2.
