1.1 Rationale The area of research was chosen due to the author working in a factory in Morocco‚ manufacturing clothing solely for Marks and Spencer. The eight months spent in the factory were very insightful into retailer-manufacturer relationships as the author got an inside view from the manufacturers point of view. The author’s knowledge of Marks and Spencer’s well documented good relationships with their suppliers and manufacturers (Bevan‚ 2001) contradicted what was actually being observed

expected average outcome over many observations.The common symbol for the mean (also known as the expected value of X) is ‚ formally defined by Variance - The variance of a discrete random variable X measures the spread‚ or variability‚ of the distribution‚ and is defined by The standard deviation is the square root of the variance. Expectation - The expected value (or mean) of X‚ where X is a discrete random variable‚ is a weighted average of the possible values that X can take‚ each value
Premium Probability theory Binomial distribution Random variable
Probability distribution Definition with example: The total set of all the probabilities of a random variable to attain all the possible values. Let me give an example. We toss a coin 3 times and try to find what the probability of obtaining head is? Here the event of getting head is known as the random variable. Now what are the possible values of the random variable‚ i.e. what is the possible number of times that head might occur? It is 0 (head never occurs)‚ 1 (head occurs once out of 2 tosses)

The Data Protection Act 1998‚ prevents Marks and Spencer’s from using their customer’s personal information. If Marks and Spencer did not follow this law then their customers will not be fully protected. Also any information about Marks and Spencer’s customer can only be kept for a specific period of time. If Marks and Spencer’s don’t comply with this law then they will start to lose customers as all customers want their details to be protected as they don’t want their credit cards to be stolen etc

NORMAL DISTRIBUTION 1. Find the distribution: a. b. c. d. e. f. following probabilities‚ the random variable Z has standard normal P (0< Z < 1.43) P (0.11 < Z < 1.98) P (-0.39 < Z < 1.22) P (Z < 0.92) P (Z > -1.78) P (Z < -2.08) 2. Determine the areas under the standard normal curve between –z and +z: ♦ z = 0.5 ♦ z = 2.0 Find the two values of z in standard normal distribution so that: P(-z < Z < +z) = 0.84 3.
