Four characteristics of a queuing system are: •the manner in which customers arrive •the time required for service •the priority determining the order of service •the number and configuration of servers in the

I. INTRODUCTION The emergence of humanistic learning theory can not be separated from the movement of humanistic education that focuses on affective outcomes‚ learning about how to learn and learning to enhance creativity and human potential. This humanistic approach emerged as a form of disapproval on two previous views‚ the views of psychoanalysis and behavioristik in explaining human behavior. Disagreement is based on the assumption that the views of psychoanalysis too pessimistic outlook bleak

psychometric and experimental traditions (Butt‚2007). Trait theory is based in the experimental approach. More recently the phenomenological perspective has made headway into the study of individual differences‚ as demonstrated by personal construct theory (PCT). This essay will start by describing trait theory and PCT‚ highlighting the important differences between the two approaches. An evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the two theories will follow. Finally‚ each approach will be discussed

Theory of Demand Q. Distinguish between a normal goods & an inferior goods. Give examples in each case. Ans. Normal Goods are those in case of which a positive relationship between income & quantity demanded. Other things remains constant‚ quantity demanded increase in response to increase in income & vice versa. Inferior Goods are those in case of which there is negative relationship between income & quantity demanded. Other things remains constant‚ quantity demanded decreases

Conflict theory cannot be fully introduced without defining two views social theorists have argued about for many years. The first is the consensus perspective. Consensus theorists state that society has a consensus of values among it members. This perspective puts a lot of emphasis on the state stating that it is organized to protect the interests of the general public‚ and has the duty to intervene when groups have differing views. The state is the representative of the general public’s values

You say that the probability of heads in a coin toss is 12 because you have no reason for thinking either heads or tails more likely you might change your view if you knew that the owner of the coin was a magician or a con man. But we cant build a theory on something subjective. We regard probability as a mathematical construction satisfying some axioms (devised by the Russian mathematician A. N. Kolmogorov). We develop ways of doing calculations with probability‚ so that (for example) we can calculate

Deontological Theory of Ethics Introduction When ethics is explored‚ and an inquiry into its origin and sources are explored to find definition and clarity around ethics‚ one initial discovery will be that two main views on ethical behavior emerge. One of those theories is the deontological theory of ethics. Ethics and ethical decisions surround themselves around what is the goodness or badness of any particular choice or decision. When exploring ethics‚ it is necessary to explore what

MATH1081 Discrete Mathematics T. Britz/D. Chan/D. Trenerry §5 Graph Theory Loosely speaking‚ a graph is a set of dots and dot-connecting lines. The dots are called vertices and the lines are called edges. Formally‚ a (finite) graph G consists of A finite set V whose elements are called the vertices of G; A finite set E whose elements are called the edges of G; A function that assigns to each edge e ∈ E an unordered pair of vertices called the endpoints of e. This function is called the edge-endpoint

(as described by Aristotle) provides a more attractive account of moral motivation. (Be sure to explain which is theory is better and why.) Word count: 1600 Aristotle and Kant are two philosophers who argue about the moral worth of actions and motivations for acting in accordance with them. In this paper‚ I will explain their theories and raise two objections to Aristotle’s theory in virtue ethics. In my opinion‚ in compare to Aristotle‚ Kant’s idea about the motivation for moral actions is
