Abstract Measurements are all subject to error which leads to the uncertainty of the result. Errors may come from systematic errors (deterministic error) or random error (not deterministic error). In this experiment‚ the group measured the diameter of sphere using different kinds of measuring devices (foot rule‚ vernier caliper‚ and micrometer caliper) in order to achieve accuracy in the scientific measurements. After experimenting‚ it was revealed that the micrometer caliper has the lowest percentage

Managing Project Uncertainty: From Variation to Chaos Uncertainty is an inevitable aspect of most projects‚ but even the most proficient managers have difficulty handling it. They use decision milestones to anticipate outcomes‚ risk management to prevent disasters and sequential iteration to make sure everyone is making the desired product‚ yet the project still ends up with an overrun schedule‚ overflowing budget and compromised specifications. Or it just dies. To find out why‚ we studied 16

The second chapter (spring) is all about if we are willing to hand the pen to Jesus to our lives‚ he writes a much more beautiful story than we could ever

1. How can the uncertainty map help managers? Pearson’s uncertainty map provides a framework for analyzing and understanding uncertainty in the innovation process. It addresses the nature of the uncertainty and the way it changes over time‚ and provides managers with knowledge to make a decision and transform ideas into innovation. It also determines the type of management skills needed for different degrees of uncertainty. The framework separates uncertainty into four quadrants based on basic

Analysis of the Uncertainty Reduction theory on interpersonal communication Through this paper I will conduct an analysis of the uncertainty reduction theory and will then apply it to my own experience here in Colorado university. This theory has been subject to many articles and studies in the communication and social departments. Indeed‚ studying this theory can help us understanding human relations in interpersonal communication. Each of us has been one day confronted to uncertainty‚ whereas in

Understanding the Customer and Supply Chain Uncertainty To understand the customer‚ a company must identify the needs of the customer segment being served. Let us compare 7-Eleven Japan and a discounter such as Sam’s Club (a part ofWal-Mart). When customers go to 7-Eleven to purchase detergent‚ they go there for the convenience of a nearby store and are not necessarily looking for the lowest price. In contrast‚ a low price is very important to a customer going to Sam’s Club. This customer may be

INTRODUCTION "The Market for Lemons: Quality Uncertainty and the Market Mechanism" is a 1970 paper by the economist George Akerlof. It talks about data asymmetry‚ which happens when the merchant or seller knows more around an item than the purchaser. A lemon is an American slang term for a car that is discovered to be blemished or defective strictly when it has been purchased. Akerlof‚ Michael Spence‚ and Joseph Stiglitz mutually got the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 2001 for their
