...------------------------------------------------- Monopoly From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article is about the economic term. For the board game, see Monopoly (game). For other uses, seeMonopoly (disambiguation). "I Like a Little Competition"—J. P. Morgan by Art Young. Cartoon relating to the answer J. P. Morgan gave when asked whether he disliked competition at the Pujo Committee.[1] A monopoly (from Greek monos μόνος (alone or single) + polein πωλεῖν (to sell)) exists when a specific person or enterprise is the only supplier of a particular commodity (this contrasts with a monopsony which relates to a single entity's control of a market to purchase a good or service, and with oligopoly which consists of a few entities dominating an industry).[2]Monopolies are thus characterized by a lack of economic competition to produce the good or service and a lack of viable substitute goods.[3] The verb "monopolise" refers to the process by which a company gains the ability to raise prices or exclude competitors. In economics, a monopoly is a single seller. In law, a monopoly is a business entity that has significant market power, that is, the power to charge high prices.[4] Although monopolies may be big businesses, size is not a characteristic of a monopoly. A small business may still have the power to raise prices in a small industry (or market).[4] A monopoly is distinguished from a monopsony, in which there is only one buyer of a product or service; a monopoly may...

...their ticket, picking a random seat to occupy. All the other passengers are quite normal, and will go to their proper seat unless it is already occupied. If it is occupied, they will then find a free seat to sit in, at random. What is the probability that the last (100th) person to board the plane will sit in their proper seat (#100)? If one tries to solve this problem with conditional probability it becomes very difficult. We begin by considering the following cases if the first passenger sits in seat number 1, then all ∗ wax@alum.mit.edu 1 the remaining passengers will be in their correct seats and certainly the #100’th will also. If he sits in the last seat #100, then certainly the last passenger cannot sit there (in fact he will end up in seat #1). If he sits in any of the 98 seats between seats #1 and #100, say seat k, then all the passengers with seat numbers 2, 3, . . . , k − 1 will have empty seats and be able to sit in their respective seats. When the passenger with seat number k enters he will have as possible seating choices seat #1, one of the seats k + 1, k + 2, . . . , 99, or seat #100. Thus the options available to this passenger are the same options...

...can form two different predicates. Let P(x) be “x is a student at UT”. Let Q(x, y) be “x is a student at y”. Definition: A predicate is a property that a variable or a finite collection of variables can have. A predicate becomes a proposition when specific values are assigned to the variables. P(x1, x2, ..., xn) is called a predicate of n variables or n arguments. Example: She lives in the city. P(x,y): x lives in y. P(Mary, Austin) is a proposition: Mary lives in Austin. Example: Predicates are often used in if statements and loop conditions. if(x > 100) then y:= x ∗ x predicate T(x): x > 100 2 Domains and Truth Sets Definition: The domain or universe or universe of discourse for a predicate variable is the set of values that may be assigned to the variable. Definition: If P(x) is a predicate and x has domain U, the truth set of P(x) is the set of all elements t of U such that P(t) is true, ie {t ∈ U |P (t) is true} Example: U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} P(x): “x is even”. The truth set is: {2, 4, 6, 8, 10} 3 The Universal Quantifier: ∀ Turn predicates into propositions by assigning values to all variables: Predicate P(x): “x is even” Proposition P(6): “6 is even” The other way to turn a predicate into a proposition: add a quantifier like “all” or “some” that indicates the number of values for which the predicate is true. Definition: The symbol ∀ is called the universal quantifier. The universal quantification of P(x) is the statement “P(x) for all values x in the universe”...

...company had expanded into clothing with one of its most popular product, the underwear (Timeline, 2012). The current M&S developed a strategy that aims to become an international, multi-channel retailer which was initially set out by Marc Bolland in November, 2010 (2012, 2012, p.2). The strategy was to enhance the brand by developing the clothing, home and food offerings while improving the store design to make it easier to shop (2012, 2012, p.8). The strategy also includes the development and expansion of the multi-channel distribution along with the commitment to deliver consistent returns to its shareholders (2012, 2012, p.2). The strategy was further divided into the three revenue segments which are clothing & home, multi-channel and international (2012, 2012, p.ii). The clothing & home segment is composed of Food and General Merchandise which includes clothing and home products (2012, 2012, p.ii). The clothing segment was further divided into womenswear, lingerie and beauty, menswear, and kidswear (2012, 2012, p.20). The customers are primarily focused on the wearability and versatility of the clothing products offered by the company, which was primarily due to a limited budget (2012, 2012, p.5). This was seen in the strong performance of the lingerie, menswear and kidswear while the womenswear segment was considered to be...

...and producers. 1.2 Variability compromises quality Mass produced items are not identical. Some variation is inevitable and can cause problems. Too much variation might mean that parts which should fit together don’t. e.g. A screw might be too small/large to fit the corresponding bolt. There is a need to identify items which exhibit too much variation and deal with them, perhaps even scrap them. 1 1.3 Inspection versus Prevention How should we deal with variation? An early strategy was to inspect goods at the end of the production line and release, to the consumer, only those of a sufficiently high standard. It was argued that the marginal cost of each item was small, so the cost of the rejected items was small. However, this argument ignored a number of...
