Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Reason for impossibility of “Black Swan Crises”.
Concept Introduction:
A crises is an after effect of some happening or event which could have been foreseen.
Black Swan events which are part of the unknown unknowns, are unexpected and it cause disruptions in the way people normally conduct business and change the way people normally behave as per “conventional wisdom”.
Explanation of Solution
Black Swan events which are part of the unknown unknowns, are unexpected and it cause disruptions in the way people normally conduct business and change the way people normally behave as per “conventional wisdom”. These unknown unknowns can also have a positive impact such as the internet which was a disruptive innovation. These events transform the way people think and conduct their businesses.
A crises is an after effect of some happening or event which could have been foreseen. To illustrate, the financial crises of 2008 was due to housing loans going bad due to the greed of banks and loan institutions. The crises was foreseen by some eminent economists such as Dr. R. There is some time to address the issue or cause before the negative impact of the event is felt. Consequently, a crises unlike a “Black Swan” event is not totally unexpected.

- Teachers at With-Hope Comprehensive school is attending a 4-day course at the Mamelodi Community Development Center to learn presentations of lessons using a data projector. All thanks to an anonymous donor who donated multiple data projectors which the school can use for presenting lessons. Which purpose regarding training and development manifests in the above scenarioarrow_forwardScenario: Imagine you are a physician who has been whose patient has the following matter up to you. The patient has an unusual infection, which lasts for a short time. The infection has a 15% chance of causing permanent brain damage. You may undertake a procedure that will prevent the brain damage from the infection (with 100% probability). However, the procedure itself has a 20% chance of causing brain damage itself. Should you undertake the procedure or not? Question: Identify whether the scenario poses a problem to solve or a decision to be made.

- A product engineer has developed the following equation for the cost of a system component: C = (10P)2, where C is the cost in dollars and P is the probability that the component will operate as expected. The system is composed of 3 identical components, all of which must operate for the system to operate. The engineer can spend $254 for the 3 components. What is the largest component probability that can be achieved? (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 4 decimal places.)

All of the components must function in order for the robot to operate effectively.a. Compute the reliability of the robot.b. Designers want to improve the reliability by adding a backup component. Due to space limitations, only one backup can be added. The backup for any component will have the same reliability as the unit for which it is the backup. Which component should get the backup in orderto achieve the highest reliability?c.
