operations prior to the April Filing deadline. On the basis of past data‚ it has been estimated that customers arrive according to a Poisson process with an average inter-arrival time of 12 minutes. The time to complete a return for a customer is exponential distributed with a mean of 10 minutes. Based on this information‚ answer the following questions a. If you went to Judy‚ how much time would you allow for getting your return done? b. On average‚ how much room should be allowed for the waiting

Forecasts are generally more accurate for individual products rather than for product families. In a simple exponential smoothing model the manager would prefer a large value for alpha if he/she wants to respond well to a system characterized by a low level of random behavior but often subjected to a real change in the

explaining the contours of world development in the pre-modern growth era? Maddison (2006) stated that he “would characterise the whole period 1000-1820 as ‘protocapitalist’”. He believes the transition from pre-modern to modern economic growth took place at around 1820. This will set the stage for this discussion. Within that period‚ there were two groups of countries which were differentiated by their deviation in economic growth. They were the Group A nations‚ which included Western Europe‚ Western
