Answer:

0.2706 ; 0.05265 ; 0.1353

Explanation:

Given that :

λ = 2

According to the poisson distribution formula :

P(x = x) = (λ^x * e^-λ) / x!

P(x = 1) = (2^1 *e^-2) / 1!

P(x = 1) = (2 * 0.1353352) = 0.2706

P(x ≥ 5) = 1 - P(x < 5)

1 - P(x < 5) = 1 - [p(x = 0) + p(x = 1) + p(x = 2) + p(x = 3) + p(x = 4)]

We obtain and add the individual probabilities. To save computation time, we can use a poisson distribution calculator :

1 - P(x < 5) = 1 - (0.13534+0.27067+0.27067+0.18045+0.09022)

1 - P(x < 5) = 1 - 0.94735 = 0.05265

P(x ≥ 5) = 1 - P(x < 5) = 0.05265

Probability that no emails was received :

x = 0

P(x = 0) = (2^0 *e^-2) / 0!

P(x = 0) = (1 * 0.1353352) / 1 = 0.1353

You want to attend a baseball game but are scheduled to work that day. There are two very logical answers here. You could ask someone to cover your shift and then go to the game or you could stay at work. If you were to stay at work, you would keep your 4 hours worth of money, but lose out on a social event. If you choose to attend the event then you lose money, but gain time with your friend... ( Choose )

From here add which one you chose and paraphrase why you chose it.

Hope this helped

A decentralized organizational structure is predicated on a belief that A. decision-making authority should be put in the hands
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

A. decision-making authority should be put in the hands of the people closest to and most familiar with the situation, and these people should be trained to exercise good judgment.

Explanation:

A decentralized organization can be defined as one whose decision-making process is not only in the hands of top management, that is, in this type of decision making, employees of lower hierarchical levels also participate in essential company decisions, therefore the alternative best suited to the beliefs of a decentralized organizational structure is that decision-making authority should be placed in the hands of the people closest to and most familiar with the situation, and these people should be trained to exercise common sense.

Some factors that contribute to this type of structure are the organizational culture, the work environment, the organizational strategy, etc.

Some of the advantages of decentralization are the reduction of time for an important decision and the engagement of the team of employees to assist in the decision-making process, which consists of greater motivation and job satisfaction
