3. LL Bean utilizes a probability distribution methodology to help predict the optimal order size of a specific item. The probability distribution is driven by a series of calculations that will predict forecast errors. One of the major concerns is that LL Bean tends to order more inventory than what was predicted in the frozen forecast. Their logic for doing this is that the cost of understocking exceeds the cost of overstocking. According to Marck Fasold (CFO)‚ this methodology leads to major discrepancies

Biology lab: measuring the effect of light intensity on plant growth Aim: Investigate the effect of light intensity on plant growth Hypothesis: Light intensity will have an effect on plant growth. With an increase in light intensity there will be plant growth at a faster rate in comparison to when the light intensity is low where plant growth is limited and will take place slowly. When there’s too much light intensity‚ the light intensity will no longer become a limiting factor. A limiting

Variables: Independent variable: the mass of the beans Dependent variable: the different types of beans Control: The beans Purpose: The purpose of the lab is to find equal measurement of each type of bean. After you find the mass of each bean you need to find the relative mass of each bean. The navy bean will have the smallest relative mass. You will need to wear safety goggles and a lab apron and wash hands after the lab is finished. If you drop any beans pick them up immediately to prevent anyone
