Discrete and Continuous Probability All probability distributions can be categorized as discrete probability distributions or as continuous probability distributions (stattrek.com). A random variable is represented by “x” and it is the result of the discrete or continuous probability. A discrete probability is a random variable that can either be a finite or infinite of countable numbers. For example‚ the number of people who are online at the same time taking a statistics class at CTU on

Executive Summary. Channels of distribution are critical to the success of a manufacturer. A well designed channel creates time‚ place and ownership utility for the consumer and can augment the manufacturer’s product. Distribution channels may move product directly from the manufacturer to the consumer‚ or make use of intermediaries between the manufacturer and the consumer. This report consists of two parts: Part 1 explains some of the major concepts relating to distribution channels‚ and Part 2 relates

STA1101 Normal Distribution and Continuous random variables CONTINUOUS RANDOM VARIABLES A random variable whose values are not countable is called a _CONTINUOUS RANDOM VARIABLE._ THE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION The _NORMAL PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION_ is given by a bell-shaped(symmetric) curve. THE STANDARD NORMAL DISTRIBUTION The normal distribution with and is called the _STANDARD NORMAL DISTRIBUTION._ Example 1: Find the area under the standard normal curve between z = 0 and z = 1.95 from z

So‚ Tata Motors needs to set up an efficient distribution system so that the products reach its consumers. In case of some perishable food products‚ physical distribution is a very important part of the whole business. The transportation of "Amul Butter" to the stores that sell "Amul Butter" is a big challenge. While transportation‚ the butter has to be stored properly‚ so that it does not get contaminated. To completely understand physical distribution‚ consider the case of "Amul Butter". Amul is
