...Rising Gas Prices Tabitha Walter BUS 308 Statistics for Managers Dr. Larry Pace Rising Gas Prices Each day our company sends out several vehicles to make deliveries to our customers. These vehicles come in several different sizes and fuel cost varies with each vehicle. In the year 2000 gas prices averaged $1.51 per gallon and as of May 2012 the average gas price is $3.79 per gallon. This is an increase of $2.28 per gallon in the last ten years. There is a need to look forward to the next ten years and what realize what effects the rising prices could have on our company and how deliveries should be handled. The Bureau of Labor Statistics provides detailed information regarding fuel prices each yearly and monthly. In the last ten years it shows a trend that fuel prices are on the rise. The descriptive statistics that is included below gives fuel prices from January 2002 to May 2011.

...GAS IN 2020 Phillip Lang BUS 308 Nicholas Bergan 02/13/12 Part 1: Data Analysis The data that will be analyzed in this report is the consumer price index for fuel prices from the year 1982 to 2011. In this report we will be analyzing trend of gasoline prices and were they will take us in the future. Also this report will be help companies dealing with the oil industry and the expected price increases from a statistical perspective. Scatterplot: This chart shows us over time (x-axis) and the average price of fuel (y-axis) per year and explains the rate at which fuel prices are increasing. Without outside variables we can easily see the correlation of fuel prices now and what they will be in the future. The graph shows there is a positive correlation between price and time. The regression line and the positive slope explains that positive correlation. The slope: The slope as indicated by that diagram is .065, the value represents that the fuel price will increase over time, if the all assosiated variables are constant, by .065 units. So all of this information explains the increase in fuel prices as time elaspses. The y intercept: The y intercept from the results is -127.643. Regression model: y = 0.065x - 127.643 Estimating Fuel prices for 2020: When estimating fuel for 2020 within the model we are using we simply have x equal the year to come to the conclusion of where fuel prices will be. If the fuel price rises on average .065 units per year then...

...Poverty and Social Inequality ‘Inequality remains a significant part of life in contemporary Britain’ Some argue that Britain is the most unequal society in Western Europe, Research conducted by Sutton Trust from 2010 suggests that poverty affects children’s ability to do well in schools, the study indicates that just 45 per cent of children from poorest fifth of families were ready to read daily by the age of three compared to 78 per cent of children from richest fifth of families. This proves that British society is unequal; there are social groups that have access to better standards of living than others (Morning Star Online 2010) In order for Inequality to take place, some people need to have more than others, creating boundaries in society that stop some people from getting equal status despite their work and effort. There are several ways of measuring social class, subjective method simply is based on people’s perception of what social class they should be in. However it is quite vague as some people may be middle class and have a lot of money whereas other might have education, lifestyle and manners of the middle class but are poor. Where objective method takes things into account like occupation, unemployment, income, education and so on therefore it is more reliable way of measuring social class. In order to measure social class effectively, stratification is needed to enable evaluation of inequalities; best way to do it is consider morbidity and mortality factors...

...Emerging Road Safety Problems in Urban Areas of Bangladesh Dr. Md. Mazharul Hoque1, S. M. Sohel Mahmud2, Abdus Shakur Qazi2 ABSTRACT: Developing countries like Bangladesh are experiencing very serious road safety problems. Latest studies revealed that there are 10000-12000 deaths from road traffic injuries each year in Bangladesh, nearly 25 percent occurring in the urban areas. Urban road accidents are a very serious and growing problem with vast majority of road accident fatalities comprising vulnerable road users viz. pedestrians, bi-cyclists and motorcyclists. Indeed, in urban areas of Bangladesh pedestrians represent often up to 70 percent of the total road accident fatalities. Their involvement varies between 35 and 62 percent of the road accident fatalities in the medium sized cities. This paper aims to present an overview of the dimensions and characteristics of the road traffic accident problems in Bangladesh, with a special reference to the situation in urban areas, metropolitan cities in particular. The paper also highlights the key safety issues and priority measures for mitigating urban road safety problems in Bangladesh. INTRODUCTION The combination of rapid urbanization and motorization has been a key cause of numerous transport problems in developing cities of Asia. Indeed, the rapid urbanization process, high vehicular population growth and that of the mobility, inadequate transportation facilities and policies, varied traffic mix with over concentration of non-motorized...
