Because of Statistical Fluctuation (Processing Times Vary Around an Average

question 22

True/False

Because of statistical fluctuation (processing times vary around an average processing time), dependent sequences can operate without any inventory between workstations.

Contrast the hypergeometric, binomial, and Poisson distributions.

Derive and interpret the mean, variance, and other probabilities from given hypergeometric distribution scenarios.

Recognize scenarios where hypergeometric distribution is applicable through practical examples.

Understand and apply Poisson distribution and its properties.
