In 1965‚ Dr. Gordon Moore working as the Director of R&D for Fairchild Semiconductor published a paper titled “Cramming more components onto integrated circuits”. In his paper‚ he discusses the future of electronics and how these “integrated circuits will lead to such wonders as home computers—or at least terminals connected to a central computer—automatic controls for automobiles‚ and personal portable communications equipment”. He also discusses how the rate in which the number of transistors

Case Study: Blake Electronics CASE: 1.) MAI’s proposal directly gives Steve the conditional probabilities he needs (e.g.‚ probability of a successful venture given a favorable survey). Although the information from Iverstine and Kinard (I&K) is different‚ we can easily use Bayes’ theorem to on I&K information to compute the revised probabilities. As such‚ does not need any additional information from I&K. 2.) Steve’s problem involves three decisions. First‚ should he contract the services
