R&D costs: uniform between $600,000,000 and $800,000,000.
Clinical trial costs: lognormal with mean of $150,000,000 and standard deviation $30,000,000. Annual market growth factor: triangular with minimum = 2%, maximum = 6%, and most likely = 3%.
Annual market share growth rate: triangular with minimum = 15%, maximum = 25%, and most likely = 20%.
The number of trials per simulation is equal to 10,000 at a Sim. Random Seed of 2. Run the simulation and answer the following questions using the Risk Solver Platform.

Physical Development

The process that starts in human infancy and continues into late adolescent concentrating on gross and fine motor skills as well as puberty.

Hips And Legs

Parts of the body involved in support, movement, and stability, with hips connecting the torso to the lower limbs and legs facilitating locomotion.

Shoulders And Arms

Parts of the human body where the upper limbs (arms) are connected to the torso via the shoulder joints.

Control
