Case Study: Distribution Strategy Distribution strategies exist in three forms: exclusive distribution‚ selective distribution‚ and intensive distribution. Kotler and Keller (2009) define each of the distribution strategies as: exclusive distribution limits the number of intermediaries used; selective distribution depends on a limited number of intermediaries; and intensive distribution works with as many outlets as feasible. The distribution strategy of the airlines industry was not a part of

Binomial‚ Bernoulli and Poisson Distributions The Binomial‚ Bernoulli and Poisson distributions are discrete probability distributions in which the values that might be observed are restricted to being within a pre-defined list of possible values. This list has either a finite number of members‚ or at most is countable. * Binomial distribution In many cases‚ it is appropriate to summarize a group of independent observations by the number of observations in the group that represent one of

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
