A)
Explanation of Solution
Systems Thinking:
System thinking is a management discipline which involves identifying and understanding the components of a system and modeling the system by connecting the input and output of the components.

Explanation of Solution
Systems thinking and Moore’s law:
Moore’s Law:
Moore’s Law is coined by Gordon Moore, the co-founder of Intel Corporation, which states that the since the integral circuit has been invented, the number of transistors per square inch in it has been doubled every two years. As the computers are getting exponentially faster, the cost of data processing is approaching zero.

C)
Explanation of Solution
Systems thinking with regard to consequences of Bell’s Law, Moore’s law or Metcalf’s Law:
Bell’s Law:
Bell’s Law is coined by Gordon Bell in 1972, which states that in every decade a new computer class is formed which establishes a new industry.
- As said by Gordon Bell digital devices will be evolved very quickly and this will enable new platforms and industries in every 10 years, one can use system thinking to deduce that currently the market is run by products of smart phones, tablets and smart watches.
- In next 10 years new wearable technological devices with implementation of augmented reality and virtual reality may rule the market.
Moore’s Law:
Moore’s Law is coined by Gordon Moore, the co-founder of Intel Corporation, which states that the since the integral circuit has been invented, the number of transistors per square inch in it has been doubled every two years.

The warranty states that if the device fails during its first year of use, you get a new device for no cost, and this new device carries exactly the same warranty. However, if it fails after the first year of use, the warranty is of no value. You plan to use this device for the next six years. Therefore, any time the device fails outside its warranty period, you will pay $300 for another device of the same kind. (We assume the price does not increase during the six-year period.) The time until failure for a device is gamma distributed with parameters α = 2 and β = 0.5. (This implies a mean of one year.) Use @RISK to simulate the six-year period. Include as outputs (1) your total cost, (2) the number of failures during the warranty period, and (3) the number of devices you own during the six-year period.

To manage its operations efficiently, the company is looking for a program that can help track its fleet, manage bookings, and calculate revenue for each cruise. Each cruise is tracked by a Cruise Identifier (must be 5 characters long), cruise route (e.g. Miami to Nassau), and ticket price. The program should also track how many tickets have been sold for each cruise. Create an object-oriented solution with a menu that allows a user to select one of the following options: 1. Create Cruise – This option allows a user to create a new cruise by entering all necessary details (Cruise ID, route, ticket price). If the maximum number of cruises has already been created, display an error message. 2. Search Cruise – This option allows to search a cruise by the user provided cruise ID. 3.

- Southern Airline has 15 daily flights from Miami to New York. Each flight requires two pilots. Flights that do not have two pilots are canceled (passengers are transferred to other airlines). The average profit per flight is $6000. Because pilots get sick from time to time, the airline is considering a policy of keeping four *reserve pilots on standby to replace sick pilots. Such pilots would introduce an additional cost of $1800 per reserve pilot (whether they fly or not). The pilots on each flight are distinct and the likelihood of any pilot getting sick is independent of the likelihood of any other pilot getting sick. Southern believes that the probability of any given pilot getting sick is 0.15. A) Run a simulation of this situation with at least 1000 iterations and report the following for the present policy (no reserve pilots) and the proposed policy (four reserve pilots): The average daily utilization of the aircraft (percentage of total flights that fly) The…arrow_forwardWhy is JAVA OOP is really difficult to study?arrow_forwardMy daughter is a Girl Scout and it is time for our cookie sales.
