1Introduction The focus of human nature has always been to derive and associate behaviors that may occur in our daily routines. Throughout history,
we have observed the necessity to understand and derive those patterns. Once the comprehension is achieved, it is within our desire to determine if
the best possible way to reach a particular goal was attained. In our modern society, major importance is placed on several fields to grasp
comprehension on efficient ways to benefit and excel based on all possible restrictions. Furthermore, due to limitation of resources, it is imperative to
consider as much information as possible to make adequate decisions and remain effective. Concerns in providing efficiency and effectiveness have led

Advantages Of Linear Programming Models
ANS 1(a) – All Decision Science models have some assumptions on which they are based as well as having certain components unit. Linear
programming models is not different and they have been based on clearly some of the assumptions
Linear programming models always use linear arithmetical relationships for in lieu of a company's decision given to a business objective and the
resource restriction
The four workings of a linear programming model are as follows
1–Decision Variables

The advantages of EOQ models are as follows
1– minimizes holding cost – Storing inventory is an expensive process for any business . The main advantage of this model is that it helps in
decreasing the storage or holding cost of goods by getting at the optimum inventory level . If the holding costs are high in a firm then that firm may
point to more orders of few items to reduce the cost
2– minimizes ordering cost – the aim of any firm is to minimize costs and the ordering costs are no exception . The EOQ model helps in reducing the
ordering costs by placing less orders in a year but of more items .
3– Ease of operations – EOQ does not only provide information about the optimum amount of inventory to be ordered but it also helps in providing
information such as the reorder level , lead time and the amount of safety stock to hold . All these information help in running the business efficiently

For analysis purpose, we used image data acquired on 8 July 2016 while manual measurement of the canopy height was done on 25 July 2016.
Coefficient of variation (CV) was found higher for canopy height estimated from image when compared to canopy height from ground truth data. We
believe that the higher variation in the table (between manual and image data) is because of the difference in the dates of manual measurement and
capturing of images. Eq. 2 ∑ i∈Nm (y i − C m ) 2 Eq. 3 Random forest is a variation of Decision Tree which generates different regression trees

Margaret Atwood 's Happy Endings
Humanity's inherent desire for results and rewards belittles the process of a journey, undervaluing/deprecating the character development that comes
within, which notably can be portrayed in Margaret Atwood's "Happy Endings". In her metafictional short story, Atwood includes six different
scenarios that are labeled A to F, which briefly describes the characters' lives, ultimately ending with death. Moreover, the names of characters recur in
each scenario, referencing one another throughout the entire short story. Particularly when Atwood's short story "Happy Endings" was published, people
noticed that she was questioning gender roles and Canada's progress towards equality (Seaman). In recent times, critics see her short story attacking ...

Unfortunately, in this case, the Bible oppresses women by limiting them to remain in their household. Hence, Atwood is stunned that the Bible even
enforces such a discriminatory idea; she refers this imposition as "evil", evidently indicating that she defies the Bible's principles as well as
illustrating herself as a feminist. With the establishment of an "Equality Clause", Atwood's role as a civil activist influenced her to write "Happy
Endings" to further criticize the arbitrary roles and norm that negatively impacted women. Almost a year prior to the publication of Atwood's short
story, an "Equality Clause" was included in the Constitution of Canada , guaranteeing men, women and the disabled equal rights. In a 1994 Booklist
review, Donna Seaman, the adult editor of Booklist, mentions that Atwood "continues to question the roots of [society's] assumptions about gender
roles, testing ...[Canada's] shaky sense of progress toward equality" ("Good Bones and Simple Murders"). Doubtlessly, Atwood's short story displays
how women easily fall prey to sexism. As of recently, Rena Korb, an American feminist, points out that Atwood criticizes "societal conventions,
particularly those surrounding the roles of women" (2). For instance, in Version B, Mary suffers from a one–sided relationship with John in which she

Three main issues arise when it comes to dividend policy in firms. The first issue is whether dividend is needed or not and the second issue is
regarding which one would be the best option among various payout methods. Lastly, the third issue is about dividend rate. Whether these issues will
affect corporate values has been debated over the years. This paper will talk about such issues through the case study of Linear Technology.

Since the firm's stocks are growth stocks, the cash used to repurchase stocks lacks the opportunity of generating high cash flows. Accordingly, the
market price would result in decreased future earnings, EPS, and the firm value of Linear. The number of outstanding shares, instead of the price, will
decrease. While the price of stock would increase just as the amount of cash paid out to repurchase the outstanding stocks. It is important that in both
cases, earnings and earnings per share before the payment are not affected.
3. About the dividend rate
Firms judge the rate of dividend initiations by earnings. However, simply put, if dividend rate changes depending on the change of earnings, the
fluctuation of dividend will increase. This would not be good. Because cutting dividends means uncertain future cash flows. If a company cuts
dividend rate, shareholders will need higher opportunity costs of capital, as a result stock prices will go down. Thus, Linear has retained constantly
increasing dividend rates in small amounts. Under the theoretical assumptions such as M&M, there is no difference whether firms pay out dividends
or not. And if the cost of capital is lower than a firm's ROE, no dividend can raise a firm's value. However, considering the real–life factors, firms
should keep on steady level of dividend rate or repurchasing shares. Repurchasing shares seems to be a better solution. As a

Characteristics Of Understanding The Culture And Society...
"The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization."

Architecture is an important aspect of understanding the culture and society of any civilisation. Today I will be looking what similarities and

Occupation continued in Knossos until 1200 BC when it was destroyed by fire, Knossos appears to have been kept intact until the fire as a sort of
headquarters while all the other palaces were destroyed. The ruins we have today from discoveries made by Sir Arthur Evans in 1900 AD are the
remains from after the Palace of Knossos was burnt down. Knossos is a clear example of monumental (of great importance or size) Minoan architecture.
There are several major courts that make up the Knossos palace; these include the large, rectangular Central Court, the West Court, the West and East
Wings, the theater, royal chambers, shrines and the Throne Room. Like most Minoan buildings the Central Court seems to be the main focus of the
building. Stone was the primary building material, but also included a timber frame for flexibility. Mortar linked the stones together and wood was
used for all the columns, doors, windows and roofs. The interior walls were plastered with clay and often had bright frescoes painted on them. The
floors were generally beaten down earth, but sometimes had small pebbles stuck into them. Lighting and ventilation was primarily utilized through
light–wells, vertical airshafts that ran the full height of the buildings. Drainage was controlled through a series of terracotta pipes and stone ductwork.
The best–preserved section of this drainage system is below the East Wing. Polythyron doors are common feature of Minoan palaces and Evans

Linear Programming, An Objective, Constraints, Alternative...
In order to run an organization to its best ability, operations managers can rely on linear programming as a way to guide them in to better decision
making in a more confident fashion. Linear programming gets the most effective use out of an establishment's resources, this is always the ideal
condition for companies, and nobody wants to be knowingly throwing resources down the drain. In order for an operations manager to successfully
administer a linear programming equation, the OM must have four requirements: an objective, constraints, alternative and linearity. An objective,
because linear programming is formulated to maximize or minimize some quantity, this is also called the objective function. Aconstraint is required
because having infinity options is just not logical and the OM needs to have boundaries for the objective. The next requirement, alternative, is needed
because without an alternative there would be no question, ergo there would be no need for linear programming. The final requirement, linearity, is
expressed in the equation as an inequality, it implies proportionality and additivity. Once an OM has these four requirement they can get to work
formulating the linear program. The most common problems are product–mix problems, or two or more products produced using a limited resource.

The correlation coefficient was .11 which suggested that there was a slight correlation between the two variables. This was not as strong as I expected
to find because of crime rates in high density areas tending to be higher. The slope was also .021 which means even if there was a strong
correlation coefficient it would still be negligible. Density is not a contributing factor when in relation to crime rates, disproving hypothesis 1. Next
in table 10 the amount of police per square mile is substituted as the x interval where crime rate stays the same as y. The correlation coefficient was
.08 which is even less than density. This disproved hypothesis 3 because there is almost no correlation to the amount of police in an area and the
crime rate. The slope was also irrelevant at 3.6. Table 12 compared the correlation between graduation rate and crime. The correlation between the data
sets were –.624 wish is a strong correlation. When graduation rates suffer crime rates increase. The slope for this statistic is –110 which explains that

Earnings and earnings per share are not affected by the dividend payout.
Another option Linear Technology has to exercise its excess cash balance, they can repurchase shares to increase the value of the firm. This
repurchase option is beneficial to the company and shareholders because in an open market share repurchase has no effect on the stock price. In
addition, by repurchasing shares the firm's earnings and earnings per share will increase. As shown in Exhibit B, by calculating the total numbers of
shares repurchased (total cash balance/price per share) and subtracting it from the number of shares outstanding will give us the number of shares left
outstanding after the repurchase to be 261,703,052. Exhibit B shows how this decrease in the number of shares drove up the earnings per share value
by $0.10 from $0.55 to $0.65. When the company repurchases shares instead of paying out in special dividends, the firm's value will increase and it
also allows the firm to retain its cash reserves within the company.
In general, companies pay dividends for a number of reasons. Dividends provide certainty about the company's financial well being. Many investors
prefer the steady and secure income that comes with dividends and see dividends as strength in the company and a sign of future positive earnings.

Using Linear And Non Linear Derivatives
Nowadays, hedge become a significant element, which may determine the success of a business, to most of the multinational corporations. To form a
value maximizing hedging strategy, which is to identify the appropriate mix of linear and non–linear derivatives, turn into a major challenge towards
corporate risk managers. The article explains several questions about a multinational corporation's strategy in choosing and mixing the hedging
instruments. For instance, why do most firms use mainly linear derivatives; why do a substantially smaller number of firms use only non–linear
instruments; and what factors influence the use of linear or non–linear or the combination of the two derivatives. The researchers testified that the
external and internal of a company's business risk are the key factor towards the use of these two types of hedging instruments. In the practice,
companies face multiple business risk, which include price uncertainty and quantity uncertainty. In order to reduce the dispersion of operating cash
flows, managers have to contend with two risk sources, the price risk and the quantity risk. As quantity and price risk increase, it is more likely that
the firm would experience "over–hedging" costs from a strategy of matching a linear hedging position to an expected exposure level. Managers should

method, finite element method, and other engineering and scientific problems. The widespread importance of sparse matrix computation has resulted in
significant research efforts poured into implementations based on modern–day parallel computer architectures GPUs. Today, there are many
challenges of SpMV products such as load balancing among threads and the lack of existing effective memory access methods, differences on sparsity
patterns it has which cause no standard algorithm exist for all kinds of sparse matrices. This would complicate the compute of SpMV.2.2. Direct or

Linear Momentum
Abstract:
This experiment studies the conservation of linear momentum through a carefully calculated collision. Two gliders were used on an air track with
different weights to demonstrate what would happen as gliders with varying masses collided into one another. Throughout the experiment the measured
values of the momentum before and after the collision were used to calculate the total momentum conserved.
Introduction:
The question of whether or not momentum is lost or conserved during a collision has been a topic of interest for many years. When two objects of equal
mass or varying masses collide what is the outcome? The gliders are used to vary the weights and the air track is used to take away all variables of
friction that could ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This velocity was multiplied by the mass of the glider to calculate both its momentum before and after the collision. There were three different
situations used in which the weights of the incident and target gliders were either equal or different. When the two masses are equal, the velocity
should be exchanged from the incident glider to the target glider. Therefore, the incident glider takes on the velocity of the target glider and the target
glider takes on the velocity of the incident glider. When the incident glider has a mass greater than the target glider, the target body takes up a velocity
in the opposite direction that is twice the incident glider.
After calculating the velocities and momentum of each collision, the percent uncertainty was calculated by gently pushing a glider through two
photo–gates and recording the velocity of the glider through each one. Using the following formula, we calculated the percent difference which is also
the percent uncertainty in our speed measurements: .
Using case 2, we calculated ratios of mass and velocity for each configuration. Using the following formula, we compared the ratio of mass and ratio of
velocity. We compared the ratios to see if momentum was conserved by seeing if the ratios agree within three times the percent uncertainty in the
velocities.

The goal of this paper is to bring Linear Algebra and Digital Signal Processing together for efficiently solving the applied signal processing
problems. Linear Algebra tool box is created to visualize the signal by just clicking and dragging the concerned module. In MATLAB and other
platforms, tapping of the signals cannot be done and conventional code has to be written for solving the problem. GNU Radio is a freeware software
for processing signals through which tapping of signal can be done .The module is created in GNU Radio with predefined template and the platform
used here is C++.Further, the code is glued to Python using swig. The blocks are created in order to estimate energy, check orthogonality, compute unit

Using Hierarchical Linear Modeling Methods
As research across all fields and topics evolve, techniques on how to improve research endeavors, such as statistical modeling techniques, become
important to utilize. Hierarchical linear modeling, similarly known as multilevel modeling, has been a statistical approach that has gained attention and
improved the analysis and interpretation of research data (Osborne, 2000). Hierarchical linear modeling is a regression–based statistical analysis that
considers the hierarchical (i.e., multiple levels; nested) nature of variables within a dataset. Hierarchical data is data that has an organizational structure
consisting of units of groups (i.e., levels) that are clustered under a larger group. Therefore, the variables within a dataset may have mediating effects
and such effects can only be explored when taking into account the clustering of groups in the data.
Prior to the wide spread use of hierarchical linear analyses, data that was structured hierarchically in nature was not analyzed appropriately due to the
neglect of considering the correlated, underlying relationships among independent and dependent variables. Considering the correlated parameters of a
proposed relationship within a dataset is of importance because the relating parameters would indicate that the variables are not independent. Thus,
violating the assumption of independence and increasing the likelihood to make a Type 1 error, in addition to resulting in biased standard errors and
hypothesis tests.

Linear Inequations
The unit we finished is called Cookies. The unit is about the system of inequalities, system of equations, using constraints, graphing, finding the
feasible region, soling for the profit/optimal line, and finding the P.O.I. We began the unit learning about solving for ( x,y ) then subbing 0,0 to
find out if they were true or false and graphing them to find the feasible region. Then we learned how to solve a system of equations using two
different methods. In this unit we learned how to graph a system of linear inequalities to find and use feasible region. The first step is to get
variable y by itself if by moving the variable x to the other side or if y is already alone leave it. After you solve for (y) move on to solving for (x) and
put in the (x,y) into the graph. To determine if your (x,y) are true or false you must sub 0,0 for x and y in of your inequality. Once solve for
inequalities given, you may find the feasible region in which all inequalities are found. You can use the feasible region to find where the inequalities
would be true and where the optimal line (profit or cost line)give the max–the last point the optimal line touches and min–the first point it touches. In

Linear Function And Slope
Linear functions are represented in slope–intercept form, y=mx+b and are plotted on a coordinate plane as a straight line. m represents the slope, or
the measure of the steepness, of a line; b represents the y–intercept, the place where the line crosses the y–axis and the value of x equals 0. Slope is
calculated by dividing the change in y by the change in x between two points, or (y_2–y_1)/(x_2–x_1 ). Slope is commonly referred to as the average
rate of change or rise/run , the change in y values (rise) over the change in x values (run). x values of the table move the point horizontally along the
x–axis; y values of the table move the point vertically along the y–axis. When points of a linear function are displayed in a table, the top number of the
slope is the average rate of change in... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
As the slope becomes greater, the line will have a greater steepness when graphed. Lower slopes result in a line closer to being horizontal. Positive
slopes display a line that increases its y values as x values increase while negative slopes display a line that decreases its y values as x values
increase. Linear functions are used to display situations with a constant rate of change. This can include miles driven per hour or the cost of a
service for an amount of time. Quadratic functions are represented by the equation f(x)=ax^2+bx+c and are graphed in a U shape known as a
parabola. A quadratic is a function in which x^2 is the greatest power. This curve occurs when two lines are multiplied together. If the value of a is
greater than 0, the parabola is positive and opens upwards. If a is less than 0, the graph is negative and opens downward. In order to find the vertex,
the maximum or minimum value of a quadratic, begin by finding the x coordinate, the axis of symmetry, using variables from the given equation in
(–b)/2a. Insert the x value into the function and solve to find the y coordinate of the

We decided to keep movies in the dataset that were English and from the USA. We also wanted to only include movies that were released in USA
and abroad. The data we did not need was filtered out and the data features that were not pre–release were removed. When it came to predicting the
worldwide box office revenue, we wanted to use linear regression and SVM. This was because many researchers had used these techniques. When
using linear regression we realised that our data needed transforming as the linear regression assumptions were violated. The Box Cox transform
we used transformed our dependent variables and worked well. The assumptions of the linear regression were met. The forward selection procedure
used helped identify which variables were good predictors in the models. Linear regression has certain assumptions, so in order to not violate those
assumptions, it is crucial to pick the best variables for the model. The best model we found using this procedure met all the assumptions and gave
good prediction accuracies. The results obtained from the linear regression and SVM models indicated that the accuracies all of the models were very
high. Linear regression and SVM achieved similar results with SVM just slightly achieving better accuracy rates As we were predicting box office

Linear Analysis Lab Report
This experiment was performed to understand the process of linear least–squared analysis as well as developing the skills to use EXCEL and having
the criteria for the best line of fit to ones' graphs. Linear least–squared analysis is a statistical method to determine a line of best fit by minimizing the
sum of squares created by a mathematical function. A "square" is determined by squaring the distance between a data point and the regression line. For
the 1st order kinetics graph, the y–axis was for the sum of ln(A). The straight line equation came out to be y=–0.0224x–0.546 while the regression line
was at a 0.99564 which was very good. For the 2nd order kinetics graph, the y–axis was for the sum of 1/A. The straight line equation came out to be
y=0.0575x+1.6104 while the regression line was at a 0.97327 which was also quite good. Each data set had 9 degrees of freedom. The F–value for the
first graph was 2057.16 and the 2nd graph was 327.67. Introduction: We used a set of data using least–squares procedures and decided from the

Linear Regression ( LR ) Equation In Excel
Introduction The general intention of this Module Two Case Assignment is to generate a Linear Regression (LR) equation in Excel. We will be
formulating this equation by exploiting data gathered by our client, the New Star Grocery Company, this organization relies that their consumer influx
correlates with their monthly sales. Thus, we will commence this assignment by deliberating upon the means, in which we developed this equation.
Development
Henceforth, in developing this equation, we gathered the data provided by our clients with respect to the monthly sales and the amount of consumers
that shopped at New Star Grocery for year one. We next capitalized on the benefits of technology by harnessing the capabilities of YouTube.
Subsequently, we discovered a video broadcasted by Tom Kleen, which the author of the video coached us on the methods behind the exploitation of
Excel 2013. As a means, to produce our Linear Regression (LR) equation for this exercise (Kleen, 2013).
Therefore, the first step we took was to highlight our data that would be captured onto the X and Y axis. This data being the total number of
consumers that purchased products from the New Star Grocery Company on a monthly basis for year one, which was annotated onto the X axis. Next,
we captured the Y axis data which was the monthly sales totals. Important to note here that at this stage it is where our LR equation launches into
formulation. Thus, we now recognize our sales will either decrease or increase determined by the quantity of consumers (Nguyen, 2017).
Upon, identifying the aforementioned data we proceeded onto creating our chart. We then moved onto to literally type our chart title and axis titles for
this particular chart. Subsequently, we advanced forward and inserted the trend line, in addition, to discovering the manner. In which, we could access
and display our equation (Kleen, 2013). Therefore, the following equation was disclosed as an integral component of this process, this modus operandi
was displayed as y=0.648x+111.65. Consequent to, us completing the previously mentioned steps. We proceeded to search for methods via utilization
of YouTube with regards toforecasting sales for year two. Immediately, we

From Table 8 and Table 3, we were quickly able to identify that the regression assumptions were not going to be satisfied and that our dependent
variable needed transforming. Looking at the plot in figure 8, we could see that the residuals of the predictions were not following a straight line.
This indicated that linear regression was not suitable for the data. This led us to transforming the worldwide box office revenue variable as shown in
Table 9. Figures 4–7 showed that the transformed variable made a huge difference. The linear regression assumptions were satisfied and the residual

Accuracies of around 80%–81% were obtained and this showed that the linear regression model was strong. It is clear that transforming the dependent
variable has a key role in why the linear regression prediction accuracies are quite high. Considering that only pre–release data was used to predict the
worldwide box office revenue and the best model had three independent variables, it is a very high accuracy and shows how effective linear
regression can be. Table 16 and 17 displays the results of the SVM prediction models. The same three variables that were used to predict the
worldwide box office revenue was used again in the SVM algorithm. The results obtained from the models were slightly better than the linear
regression models. SVM is more advanced then linear regression so it is not unexpected that SVM has given us a higher accuracy. The SVM models
did not exceed the accuracy of the regression by much. The accuracies of the SVM models ranged from 81% –83%. Nevertheless the accuracies of the
models predicting the worldwide box office revenues are impressive and shows movie studios how effective pre–release data is. From Table 18, we

data, researchers often must make tradeoffs in selecting input and output variables. In this research, in order to verify the stability of the DEA model, a
stability test is conducted by changing the number of inputs and outputs. To get a fuller picture, four models are developed for this test. Spearman
correlation coefficients are calculated to assess the impact of the variation.

rebellious young man named James T. Kirk whose life was changed by the faith of a Starfleet captain who sees in the rash youth the special qualities
that a member of Starfleet must possess to succeed in the challenging and often dangerous world their profession puts them in. I believe that the texts I

In 'All the world's a stage" Shakespeare writes of a man who has a negative attitude towards growing up and life in general. This is shown through
the negative words that Shakespeare uses to describe his life. For instance: even at the earliest stage, "At first the infant, mewling and puking in
the nurse's arms" is shown being bad? Analyse the quote, write the effect. Why did Shakespeare write it like this? Due to the man's attitude toward
change and growing up he experiences life at its worst, remembering only the bad experiences. In contrast Star Treks entire franchise is based on
learning news ideas, embracing different cultured, moving forward and accepting change. It's only when you look closer you see individuals that
are struggling the accept change or try to become better. We see this in James T. Kirks beginning when he lives in Iowa and is basically a drop out
with no prospects though really smart. Kirks own change over a short period of time results in him being an overall better person, Kirk's attitude
towards change is a determined positive one, as seen in his hearing, "I don't believe in no–win scenarios" where Kirk changes a no–win test so it's
winnable. Kirk changes also had a tragic backstory, his father dying when he young and living with an abusive step–father. The previous texts character
did not have the excuse of a tragic backstory and yet he still looked on the world with disgust. Kirk

Linear Macromolecules
Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, like proteins, is a linear macromolecule found in all living cells. In contrast to proteins, however, it is build up of
only 4 different types of building blocks, called nucleotides. Nucleotides are composed of a base, being either a purine or pyrimidine group, and a
2'–deoxyribosyl–tri–phosphate. The four types of bases composing the sequence of DNA are purines and pyramidines. The sugar is a 2'–deoxy ribose
which is phosphorylated at its 5' hydroxyl group. Free nucleotides contain either one, two or three phosphates representing the mono–, di–, or
triphosphate form of the nucleotide, the latter being known as dATP, dGTP, dTTP, and dCTP. Single DNA strands are not stable, but associate with a
second strand to

Linear Regression
Linear–Regression Analysis
Introduction
Whitner Autoplex located in Raytown, Missouri, is one of the AutoUSA dealerships. Whitner Autoplex includes Pontiac, GMC, and Buick franchises
as well as a BMW store. Using data found on the AutoUSA website, Team D will use Linear Regression Analysis to determine whether the purchase
price of a vehicle purchased from Whitner Autoplex increases as the age of the consumer purchasing the vehicle increases. The data set provided
information about the purchasing price of 80 domestic and imported automobiles at Whitner Autoplex as well as the age of the consumers purchasing
the vehicles. Team D selected the first 30 of the sampled domestic vehicles to use for this test. The business research... Show more content on
Helpwriting.net ...
The results of the Linear Regression analysis utilized by team D found conclusively that consumer age does not affect purchase price at Whitner
Autoplex. This test is accurate even though the sample sizes are equal because both sample sizes are significant. The results of the Linear Regression
Analysis completed above allow us to reject the null hypothesis and state conclusively that age and purchase price are in no way dependent on one
another. Based on the scatter plot and Excel's fitted linear regression, displayed above, the linear model seems justified. The low R2 of 0.359 says that
Age "explains" only 36 percent of the variation in Purchase Price.
Conclusion
Throughout the last four weeks in Research and Evaluation II, Team D has run various hypothesis tests on the Whitner Autoplex data set provided by
University of Phoenix. The data set provided information about the purchasing price of 88 domestic and imported cars as well as age of the
consumers. In week two, Team D conducted a one–sample hypothesis test comparing the national average purchasing price with that of the Whitner
Autoplex prices and answering the research question: Does the average price of automobiles sold at Whitner Autoplex dealership exceed the national
average sale price of similar automobiles? Once the test was complete, Team D accepted the null hypothesis of: Ho: u < $23,000. In week 3, Team D

Linear Programming
The development of linear programming has been ranked among the most important scientific advances of the mid 20th century. Its impact since the
1950's has been extraordinary. Today it is a standard tool used by some companies (around 56%) of even moderate size. Linear programming uses a
mathematical model to describe the problem of concern. Linear programming involves the planning of activities to obtain an optimal result, i.e., a result
that reaches the specified goal best (according to the mathematical model) among all feasible alternatives.
Linear Programming as seen by various reports by many companies has saved them thousands to even millions of dollars. Since this is true why isn't
everyone using Linear Programming? Maybe the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
I believe that every company should be using LP and I have hypothesized that linear programming increases both EPS, ROI and by definition Profit.
This research therefore assumes that a company not using LP would have made less money than one that did use LP. The sample is 28 companies
and I felt this would be sufficient as a sample size as statisticians typically recommend a minimum of 20 data points (in this case companies) in order
to test a hypothesis. The companies are located in and near the state of Delaware and also include New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
This research is not exhaustive and therefore will not be final in terms of how it is interpreted but it will assist others who wish to use much larger
samples and over much longer periods of time to refine the results and potentially prove that LP does have a consistent improvement effect on a
company's profits, ROI and EPS measures of performance. Method
I used the survey research method as the basis of my research design. Calls were made to each company that was randomly selected and for whom
their results were collected. Each company was asked the question "Can we speak to your corporate planning and decision support function". If they
were unsure of which department was meant, we would then ask "Can we speak to the key people within your organization who are responsible for

Linear Programming Processes For Optimization

  • 1. Linear Programming Processes For Optimization Abstract: – This paper discusses the linear programming model. Also, it describes the general conditions needed for utilizing linear programming processes for optimization. It expands on the geometrical interpretation of these problems and relates the process to algebraic findings. In addition, it discusses various algorithm utilized to solve optimization problems. Furthermore, it explores the validity of solutions and weather the optimal solution is the best solution to the linear programming problem Key–Words: – canonical form, constraints, feasible solution, feasible region, infeasible solution, interior point method, objective function, optimal solution, simplex method, slack variable, standard form, unbounded region. 1Introduction The focus of human nature has always been to derive and associate behaviors that may occur in our daily routines. Throughout history, we have observed the necessity to understand and derive those patterns. Once the comprehension is achieved, it is within our desire to determine if the best possible way to reach a particular goal was attained. In our modern society, major importance is placed on several fields to grasp comprehension on efficient ways to benefit and excel based on all possible restrictions. Furthermore, due to limitation of resources, it is imperative to consider as much information as possible to make adequate decisions and remain effective.

The main advantage of this model is that it helps in decreasing the storage or holding cost of goods by getting at the optimum inventory level . If the holding costs are high in a firm then that firm may point to more orders of few items to reduce the cost 2– minimizes ordering cost – the aim of any firm is to minimize costs and the ordering costs are no exception . The EOQ model helps in reducing the ordering costs by placing less orders in a year but of more items . 3– Ease of operations – EOQ does not only provide information about the optimum amount of inventory to be ordered but it also helps in providing information such as the reorder level , lead time and the amount of safety stock to hold .

Mixed Linear Analysis mixed linear model (Zhang et al. 2010) implemented in the GAPIT package (Lipka et al. 2012) in R. determines the trade–off between misclassifying training examples and minimizing the norm of the weights. Parameter controls the band of the insensitive zone that in turn affects the number of support vectors in building the regression function. Bigger means lesser support vectors and produces more 'flat' estimates. III. A LGORITHM D ESCRIPTION Decision Tree (DT) is used to build regression or classification models in the form of a tree structure.

Coefficient of variation (CV) was found higher for canopy height estimated from image when compared to canopy height from ground truth data. We believe that the higher variation in the table (between manual and image data) is because of the difference in the dates of manual measurement and capturing of images. Eq. 2 ∑ iв€€Nm (y i в€’ C m ) 2 Eq. 3 Random forest is a variation of Decision Tree which generates different regression trees at training time and outputs the mean prediction of the individual trees. Support Vector Machines are a particular type of algorithms that uses kernels and provides control on deciding the margin or the number of support vectors. The basic goal is to map nonlinearly the data into a high– dimensional feature space and then a linear model is generated in the feature space. The quality of estimation is measured by the insensitive loss function. High performance accuracy of the model can be achieved by tuning C, kernel and epsilon parameters.

  • 5. Margaret Atwood 's Happy Endings Humanity's inherent desire for results and rewards belittles the process of a journey, undervaluing/deprecating the character development that comes within, which notably can be portrayed in Margaret Atwood's "Happy Endings". In her metafictional short story, Atwood includes six different scenarios that are labeled A to F, which briefly describes the characters' lives, ultimately ending with death. Moreover, the names of characters recur in each scenario, referencing one another throughout the entire short story. Particularly when Atwood's short story "Happy Endings" was published, people noticed that she was questioning gender roles and Canada's progress towards equality (Seaman). In recent times, critics see her short story attacking ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Unfortunately, in this case, the Bible oppresses women by limiting them to remain in their household. Hence, Atwood is stunned that the Bible even enforces such a discriminatory idea; she refers this imposition as "evil", evidently indicating that she defies the Bible's principles as well as illustrating herself as a feminist. With the establishment of an "Equality Clause", Atwood's role as a civil activist influenced her to write "Happy Endings" to further criticize the arbitrary roles and norm that negatively impacted women. Almost a year prior to the publication of Atwood's short story, an "Equality Clause" was included in the Constitution of Canada , guaranteeing men, women and the disabled equal rights. In a 1994 Booklist review, Donna Seaman, the adult editor of Booklist, mentions that Atwood "continues to question the roots of [society's] assumptions about gender roles, testing ...[Canada's] shaky sense of progress toward equality" ("Good Bones and Simple Murders"). Doubtlessly, Atwood's short story displays how women easily fall prey to sexism.

The first issue is whether dividend is needed or not and the second issue is regarding which one would be the best option among various payout methods. Lastly, the third issue is about dividend rate. Whether these issues will affect corporate values has been debated over the years. This paper will talk about such issues through the case study of Linear Technology. 1. Why dividend is needed. Linear Technology's payout policy, unlike many competitors in the Semiconductor Industry, has a relatively large portion in dividends. Linear has provided steady dividends ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Since the firm's stocks are growth stocks, the cash used to repurchase stocks lacks the opportunity of generating high cash flows. Accordingly, the market price would result in decreased future earnings, EPS, and the firm value of Linear. The number of outstanding shares, instead of the price, will decrease. While the price of stock would increase just as the amount of cash paid out to repurchase the outstanding stocks. It is important that in both cases, earnings and earnings per share before the payment are not affected. 3. About the dividend rate Firms judge the rate of dividend initiations by earnings. However, simply put, if dividend rate changes depending on the change of earnings, the fluctuation of dividend will increase. This would not be good. Because cutting dividends means uncertain future cash flows. If a company cuts dividend rate, shareholders will need higher opportunity costs of capital, as a result stock prices will go down. Thus, Linear has retained constantly increasing dividend rates in small amounts. Under the theoretical assumptions such as M&M, there is no difference whether firms pay out dividends or not. And if the cost of capital is lower than a firm's ROE, no dividend can raise a firm's value. However, considering the real–life factors, firms should keep on steady level of dividend rate or repurchasing shares. Repurchasing shares seems to be a better solution. As a

Occupation continued in Knossos until 1200 BC when it was destroyed by fire, Knossos appears to have been kept intact until the fire as a sort of headquarters while all the other palaces were destroyed. The ruins we have today from discoveries made by Sir Arthur Evans in 1900 AD are the remains from after the Palace of Knossos was burnt down. Knossos is a clear example of monumental (of great importance or size) Minoan architecture. There are several major courts that make up the Knossos palace; these include the large, rectangular Central Court, the West Court, the West and East Wings, the theater, royal chambers, shrines and the Throne Room. Like most Minoan buildings the Central Court seems to be the main focus of the building. Stone was the primary building material, but also included a timber frame for flexibility. Mortar linked the stones together and wood was used for all the columns, doors, windows and roofs. The interior walls were plastered with clay and often had bright frescoes painted on them. The floors were generally beaten down earth, but sometimes had small pebbles stuck into them. Lighting and ventilation was primarily utilized through light–wells, vertical airshafts that ran the full height of the buildings. Drainage was controlled through a series of terracotta pipes and stone ductwork. The best–preserved section of this drainage system is below the East Wing.

  • 11. Linear Programming, An Objective, Constraints, Alternative... In order to run an organization to its best ability, operations managers can rely on linear programming as a way to guide them in to better decision making in a more confident fashion. Linear programming gets the most effective use out of an establishment's resources, this is always the ideal condition for companies, and nobody wants to be knowingly throwing resources down the drain. In order for an operations manager to successfully administer a linear programming equation, the OM must have four requirements: an objective, constraints, alternative and linearity. An objective, because linear programming is formulated to maximize or minimize some quantity, this is also called the objective function. Aconstraint is required because having infinity options is just not logical and the OM needs to have boundaries for the objective. The next requirement, alternative, is needed because without an alternative there would be no question, ergo there would be no need for linear programming. The final requirement, linearity, is expressed in the equation as an inequality, it implies proportionality and additivity. Once an OM has these four requirement they can get to work formulating the linear program. The most common problems are product–mix problems, or two or more products produced using a limited resource.

Another option Linear Technology has to exercise its excess cash balance, they can repurchase shares to increase the value of the firm. This repurchase option is beneficial to the company and shareholders because in an open market share repurchase has no effect on the stock price. In addition, by repurchasing shares the firm's earnings and earnings per share will increase. As shown in Exhibit B, by calculating the total numbers of shares repurchased (total cash balance/price per share) and subtracting it from the number of shares outstanding will give us the number of shares left outstanding after the repurchase to be 261,703,052. Exhibit B shows how this decrease in the number of shares drove up the earnings per share value by $0.10 from $0.55 to $0.65.

To form a value maximizing hedging strategy, which is to identify the appropriate mix of linear and non–linear derivatives, turn into a major challenge towards corporate risk managers. The article explains several questions about a multinational corporation's strategy in choosing and mixing the hedging instruments. For instance, why do most firms use mainly linear derivatives; why do a substantially smaller number of firms use only non–linear instruments; and what factors influence the use of linear or non–linear or the combination of the two derivatives. The researchers testified that the external and internal of a company's business risk are the key factor towards the use of these two types of hedging instruments. In the practice, companies face multiple business risk, which include price uncertainty and quantity uncertainty. In order to reduce the dispersion of operating cash flows, managers have to contend with two risk sources, the price risk and the quantity risk. As quantity and price risk increase, it is more likely that the firm would experience "over–hedging" costs from a strategy of matching a linear hedging position to an expected exposure level. Managers should reduce the linear hedging position and substituted to some non–linear contracts. The authors illustrate the fact by providing a numerical business ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The income fund must have an investment of $ 160,000 and the money market fund must have an investment of $ 391, 112. The solution is not surprising given the requirements for the investments. The amount invested in the growth fund yields the greatest revenue but has to be less than 50% of the total investment and is also limited by its high risk index. The amount is greatest when invested in the money market fund because it balances the greater risk the other funds are subjected to.

Two gliders were used on an air track with different weights to demonstrate what would happen as gliders with varying masses collided into one another. Throughout the experiment the measured values of the momentum before and after the collision were used to calculate the total momentum conserved. Introduction: The question of whether or not momentum is lost or conserved during a collision has been a topic of interest for many years. When two objects of equal mass or varying masses collide what is the outcome? The gliders are used to vary the weights and the air track is used to take away all variables of friction that could ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This velocity was multiplied by the mass of the glider to calculate both its momentum before and after the collision. There were three different situations used in which the weights of the incident and target gliders were either equal or different. When the two masses are equal, the velocity should be exchanged from the incident glider to the target glider. Therefore, the incident glider takes on the velocity of the target glider and the target glider takes on the velocity of the incident glider. When the incident glider has a mass greater than the target glider, the target body takes up a velocity in the opposite direction that is twice the incident glider. After calculating the velocities and momentum of each collision, the percent uncertainty was calculated by gently pushing a glider through two photo–gates and recording the velocity of the glider through each one. Using the following formula, we calculated the percent difference which is also the percent uncertainty in our speed measurements: . Using case 2, we calculated ratios of mass and velocity for each configuration. Using the following formula, we compared the ratio of mass and ratio of velocity. We compared the ratios to see if momentum was conserved by seeing if the ratios agree within three times the percent uncertainty in the velocities. .

Using Hierarchical Linear Modeling Methods As research across all fields and topics evolve, techniques on how to improve research endeavors, such as statistical modeling techniques, become important to utilize. Hierarchical linear modeling, similarly known as multilevel modeling, has been a statistical approach that has gained attention and improved the analysis and interpretation of research data (Osborne, 2000). Hierarchical linear modeling is a regression–based statistical analysis that considers the hierarchical (i.e., multiple levels; nested) nature of variables within a dataset. Hierarchical data is data that has an organizational structure consisting of units of groups (i.e., levels) that are clustered under a larger group. Therefore, the variables within a dataset may have mediating effects and such effects can only be explored when taking into account the clustering of groups in the data. Prior to the wide spread use of hierarchical linear analyses, data that was structured hierarchically in nature was not analyzed appropriately due to the neglect of considering the correlated, underlying relationships among independent and dependent variables. Considering the correlated parameters of a proposed relationship within a dataset is of importance because the relating parameters would indicate that the variables are not independent. Thus, violating the assumption of independence and increasing the likelihood to make a Type 1 error, in addition to resulting in biased standard errors and hypothesis tests. ...

Slope is calculated by dividing the change in y by the change in x between two points, or (y_2–y_1)/(x_2–x_1 ). Slope is commonly referred to as the average rate of change or rise/run , the change in y values (rise) over the change in x values (run). x values of the table move the point horizontally along the x–axis; y values of the table move the point vertically along the y–axis.

As the slope becomes greater, the line will have a greater steepness when graphed. Lower slopes result in a line closer to being horizontal. Positive slopes display a line that increases its y values as x values increase while negative slopes display a line that decreases its y values as x values increase. Linear functions are used to display situations with a constant rate of change. This can include miles driven per hour or the cost of a service for an amount of time. Quadratic functions are represented by the equation f(x)=ax^2+bx+c and are graphed in a U shape known as a parabola. A quadratic is a function in which x^2 is the greatest power. This curve occurs when two lines are multiplied together. If the value of a is greater than 0, the parabola is positive and opens upwards. If a is less than 0, the graph is negative and opens downward. In order to find the vertex, the maximum or minimum value of a quadratic, begin by finding the x coordinate, the axis of symmetry, using variables from the given equation in (–b)/2a. Insert the x value into the function and solve to find the y coordinate of the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The data we did not need was filtered out and the data features that were not pre–release were removed. When it came to predicting the worldwide box office revenue, we wanted to use linear regression and SVM. This was because many researchers had used these techniques. When using linear regression we realised that our data needed transforming as the linear regression assumptions were violated. The Box Cox transform we used transformed our dependent variables and worked well. The assumptions of the linear regression were met. The forward selection procedure used helped identify which variables were good predictors in the models. Linear regression has certain assumptions, so in order to not violate those assumptions, it is crucial to pick the best variables for the model. The best model we found using this procedure met all the assumptions and gave good prediction accuracies. The results obtained from the linear regression and SVM models indicated that the accuracies all of the models were very high. Linear regression and SVM achieved similar results with SVM just slightly achieving better accuracy rates As we were predicting box office revenue using pre–release data only, the accuracies of 80% plus were a good surprise.

  • 31. Linear Analysis Lab Report This experiment was performed to understand the process of linear least–squared analysis as well as developing the skills to use EXCEL and having the criteria for the best line of fit to ones' graphs. Linear least–squared analysis is a statistical method to determine a line of best fit by minimizing the sum of squares created by a mathematical function. A "square" is determined by squaring the distance between a data point and the regression line. For the 1st order kinetics graph, the y–axis was for the sum of ln(A). The straight line equation came out to be y=–0.0224x–0.546 while the regression line was at a 0.99564 which was very good. For the 2nd order kinetics graph, the y–axis was for the sum of 1/A. The straight line equation came out to be y=0.0575x+1.6104 while the regression line was at a 0.97327 which was also quite good. Each data set had 9 degrees of freedom. The F–value for the first graph was 2057.16 and the 2nd graph was 327.67. Introduction: We used a set of data using least–squares procedures and decided from the evidence whether the 1st or 2nd –order kinetics was a better suited match to describe the data. Paying attention to data analysis and plots for these graphs were the most challenging. The data involves a pair of measurements of an independent variable x and a dependent variable y.

We will be formulating this equation by exploiting data gathered by our client, the New Star Grocery Company, this organization relies that their consumer influx correlates with their monthly sales. Thus, we will commence this assignment by deliberating upon the means, in which we developed this equation. Development Henceforth, in developing this equation, we gathered the data provided by our clients with respect to the monthly sales and the amount of consumers that shopped at New Star Grocery for year one. We next capitalized on the benefits of technology by harnessing the capabilities of YouTube. Subsequently, we discovered a video broadcasted by Tom Kleen, which the author of the video coached us on the methods behind the exploitation of Excel 2013. As a means, to produce our Linear Regression (LR) equation for this exercise (Kleen, 2013). Therefore, the first step we took was to highlight our data that would be captured onto the X and Y axis. This data being the total number of consumers that purchased products from the New Star Grocery Company on a monthly basis for year one, which was annotated onto the X axis. Next, we captured the Y axis data which was the monthly sales totals. Important to note here that at this stage it is where our LR equation launches into formulation. Thus, we now recognize our sales will either decrease or increase determined by the quantity of consumers (Nguyen, 2017). Upon, identifying the aforementioned data we proceeded onto creating our chart. We then moved onto to literally type our chart title and axis titles for this particular chart. Subsequently, we advanced forward and inserted the trend line, in addition, to discovering the manner. In which, we could access and display our equation (Kleen, 2013).

Accuracies of around 80%–81% were obtained and this showed that the linear regression model was strong. It is clear that transforming the dependent variable has a key role in why the linear regression prediction accuracies are quite high. Considering that only pre–release data was used to predict the worldwide box office revenue and the best model had three independent variables, it is a very high accuracy and shows how effective linear regression can be. Table 16 and 17 displays the results of the SVM prediction models. The same three variables that were used to predict the worldwide box office revenue was used again in the SVM algorithm. The results obtained from the models were slightly better than the linear regression models. SVM is more advanced then linear regression so it is not unexpected that SVM has given us a higher accuracy. The SVM models did not exceed the accuracy of the regression by much. The accuracies of the SVM models ranged from 81% –83%. Nevertheless the accuracies of the models predicting the worldwide box office revenues are impressive and shows movie studios how effective pre–release data is. From Table 18, we have a good idea as to how Random Forest performs when predicting the success of movies.

Given imperfect data, researchers often must make tradeoffs in selecting input and output variables. In this research, in order to verify the stability of the DEA model, a stability test is conducted by changing the number of inputs and outputs. To get a fuller picture, four models are developed for this test. Spearman correlation coefficients are calculated to assess the impact of the variation. DEA is a linear programming methodology measuring the relative performance and efficiency of multiple DMUs when the production process is composed of a difficult structure of multiple inputs and outputs [38]. A ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Details of the linear form of a CRS model may be found in Chapter 2 of Cooper [39].
