R&F(Rank and File) have more focus on Technical Skills
Classical Perspective
Scientific Management
Bureaucratic Management
Administrative Management
Scientific Management
Efficiency and labor productivity
FrederickWinslowTaylor emphasized that workers can be retooled like machines, their physical and mental gears recalibrated for better productivity
In the pre-Taylorera, an employee himself used to choose or plan how he had to do his work and what machines and equipment would be necessary to perform the work. But Taylor divided the two functions of planning and doing
HenryGantt developed the Gantt chart, and Frank B. and Lillian M. Gilbreth pioneered time and motion study
BureaucraticManagement
Based on rational authority
MaxWeber devised a theory of bureaucratic management that emphasized the need for a firmly defined hierarchy governed by clearly defined regulations and lines of authority
Administrative Management
Focused on the total organization
Henri Fayol is known as the father of Modern Management. Some of his principles are: Division of Work, Authority & Responsibility, Discipline, Unity of Command

Types of Probability
ClassicalApproach (TheoreticalProbability)
EmpiricalProbability (Experimental or RelativeFrequencyProbability)
SubjectiveProbability
Classical Approach to Probability (Theoretical Probability)
P(A) = Number of ways A can occur / Number of different outcomes in S
Subjective Probability
The probability of event A estimated using previous knowledge and someone's opinion
Probability Rules
Restricted Conjunction Rule
General Conjunction Rule
Restricted Disjunction Rule
General Disjunction Rule
RestrictedConjunctionRule
P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B), where A and B are independent
General Conjunction Rule
P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B given A), where A and B are dependent
Restricted Disjunction Rule
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B), where A and B are mutually exclusive
General Disjunction Rule
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B), where A and B are not mutually exclusive and independent
Restricted Disjunction Rule
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B), where A and B must be mutually exclusive
General Disjunction Rule
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B) = P(A) + P(B) - [P(A) X P(B)], where A and B are not mutually exclusive and independent
