The empirical evidence below will show the situation report of the Police Unit administration in Seattle, containing a scattered plot underlining the correlation between the Crimes familiar to the state police and the drug delivery arrests. Why is this connection important to Police officials? Because it shows the efficiency of the police department in this district, taking into account the total number of crimes reported and the drug delivery arrests.
We have attached above the scattered plot that we were mentioning about. On the vertical axis, it represents the values for the drug delivery arrests, while on the horizontal axis we have the known violent and property crimes. As it can be observed there is a strong association between the crimes familiar to the police bodies and the numbers of drug deliveries arrests - most observation points are situated on the imaginary 45 degrees slope line.
However this decision making tool does not offer a clear prediction of the correlation between the crimes reported to police officials and the drug delivery arrest registered within the registered plots 80, 81, 91, 92 and 53(01). In order to make the reader better understand the situation, we should mention that for...
But in point 80 if there were 3000 crimes familiar to the police there must be 300 arrests, three times more than the expected results determined by the 45-degree slope for the entire district. So as a conclusion for the Seattle case, we might say that the police station represented by point 80 on the graph, has a productivity in performing drug delivery arrests three times higher than the district average.
As a conclusion, we may state that the Scattered diagram plays an important role in the decision making process, having application in the majority of fields. Its ability to determine the correlation of two variables is crucial in many aspects for the above mentioned reasons (efficiency, problem identification).

Probability Concepts & Applications (1) Describe the rationale for utilizing probability concepts. Is there more than one type of probability? If so, describe the different types of probability. One uses probability mathematics in order to assess the probability of a particular occurrence or the results of a particular action; For instance, whether or not one should go into a certain market or invest in a certain product -- what are the chances
Ayers (2000, p. 4) describes a supply chain as "Life cycle processes supporting physical, information, financial, and knowledge flows for moving products and services from suppliers to end-users." A supply chain can be short, as in the case of a cottage industry, or quite long and complex as in the manufacture, distribution, and sales of automobiles. In fact, the automobile supply chain has its origin in the mining of the
Thus, the competitive intelligence assisted the company to align its strategic plan as well as keeping executive informed about the key element of decision-making. The company also derived advantages from market intelligence advantages and the advantages assisted the company to understand the market activities and competitive market environment. Typically, Avnet also used the competitive intelligence to create a Strategic Leverage Matrix (SLM) that the company literarily plots to understand the
Discussion of the Results Mr. Spyridos can count on French and Italians to spend more money than the Germans, and all three to spend more money than the Brits. There is a great deal of difference between German groups, which suggests that there may be some high-Euro spenders who should be appealed to in a separate marketing campaign. The French appear to have the least variability in spending as a group, while
As has been mentioned throughout this thesis, the entire aspect of mass customization as it relates to the development of a stable quote-to-order process throughout manufacturing is critical. In this specific area is where many manufacturers face the dilemma of being entirely project-based in their manufacturing and business strategy approach or move more towards functional manufacturing with the exception being mass customization and a more fluid, agile, quote-to-order process.

66). Furthermore, social software will only increase in importance in helping organizations maintain and manage their domains of knowledge and information. When networks are enabled and flourish, their value to all users and to the organization increases as well. That increase in value is typically nonlinear, where some additions yield more than proportionate values to the organization (McCluskey and Korobow, 2009). Some of the key characteristics of social software applications
