Acompany wanted to estimate the market growth potential for a beverage in countryx, for which it had inadequate sales figures, but the company had excellent beverage data for neighboring country y. in country y, per capita consumption is known to increase at a predictable ratio as per capita gross domestic product (gdp) increases. if per capita gdp is known for country x, per capita consumption for the beverage can be estimated using the relationships established in country y. this is an example of which of the following methods of forecasting? a. probabilistic forecastingb. reference class forecastingc. expert opiniond. analogye. linear regression

This exercise illustrates that poor quality can affect schedules and costs. a manufacturing process has 130 customer orders to fill. each order requires one component part that is purchased from a supplier. however, typically, 3% of the components are identified as defective, and the components can be assumed to be independent. (a) if the manufacturer stocks 130 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components? (b) if the manufacturer stocks 132 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components? (c) if the manufacturer stocks 135 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components?
