achieve the cost utilized in thepreparation of the quote. The solution to the problem would be to perform a formal cost-risk analysis. The formalcost-risk analysis would require that probability distributions be developed for each step of theprocess, developing correlations among these distributions, and sum the distributions statisticallyusually via the Monte Carlo simulation process. This would be a very expensive undertakingand may be cost effective for the aerospace and defense contractors, but it would not be costeffective to most medium and small businesses. A simplified model was developed by Stephen Book for those who want the benefits of acost-risk analysis, but cannot afford the cost or time to perform a formal cost risk

Typical course composition includes approximately: 3% freshman, 37%sophomore, 25% junior, and 35% senior level students. The one-credit hour course doesnot have any prerequisites, so some students choose to participate early in their academiccareer while others complete the course in their final semesters.
