...1) Mean: The mean of a set of numbers is the average. The mean is calculated by finding the sum of all the values and dividing by the number of values. 11+12+12+13+14+16+18+19+20 = 135 There are 9 numbers in the series, so the mean is: Mean = 135/9 = 15 Median: The median of a series of numbers is the number that appears in the middle of the list when arranged from smallest to largest. For a list with an odd number of members, the way to find the middle number is to take the number of members and add one. Then divide that value by two. In our case, there are 9 numbers in the series. 9+1 = 10 and half of 10 is 5. The fifth number in the series is the median or 14. If the number of members of the series was even, the average of the two middle numbers would be the median. Mode: The mode is the number in the series that appears the most often. If there is no single number that appears more than any other number in the series, there is no value for the mode. The number 12 appears twice in the series. The mode of this series is 12. Quintile: The first quartile of a group of values is the value such the 25% of the values fall at or below this value. The third quartile of a group of values is the value such that 75% of the values fall at or below this value. The first quartile may be approximately calculated by placing a group of values in ascending order and determining the median of the values below the true median, and the third quartile is approximately calculated by determining...

...1. Median - The middle number (in a sorted list of numbers) 2. Altitude - Generally: another word for height. For a triangle: a line at right angles to a side and going through the opposite corner. 3. Incenter - The center of a triangle's "incircle" ... it is where the "angle bisectors" (lines that split each corner's angle in half) meet. 4. Centroid - The "center of mass". 5. Orthocenter - The point where the three "altitudes" meet. An "altitude" is a line that goes through a vertex and is at right angles to the opposite side. 6. Circumcenter - The center of a triangle's circumcircle. It is where the "perpendicular bisectors" (lines that are at right angles to the midpoint of each side) meet. 7. Concurrent Lines - Three or more lines in a plane or higher-dimensional space are said to be concurrent if they intersect at a single point. 8. Equidistant - The same distance from two other things. A point can be Equidistant from 2 other points when it is always the same distance away from those points. 9. Deductive Reasoning - Is the process of reasoning from one or more general statements (premises) to reach a logically certain conclusion. 10. Inductive Reasoning - Is reasoning in which the premises seek to supply strong evidence for (not absolute proof of) the truth of the conclusion. While the conclusion of a deductive argument is supposed to be certain, the truth of an inductive argument is supposed to be probable, based upon the evidence given 11. Radius - The distance...

...Math Project Letter There are many different types of boxes. There are big boxes that are shipped around the world, there are boxes that are for coins, and there are boxes for toys. Your box should not be too big or too small. The right box for you should be economical with respect to the materials needed to package the product, there should be an adequate amount of surface area for the design, and it has to appeal to the retailers who will stock it in their store shelves. That is what mine has. The dimensions for my box are 4 inches by 3 inches by 2 inches. My box will fit the needs of your requirements perfectly and it will look awesome on the shelves of your stores. A perfect box needs to be economical and it needs to be able to fit the materials needed in the box. With my box, you will be able to fit almost any type of shape in it with the volume being 24 feet cubed. Since the surface area is at 52 square inches, it won’t cost as much as a long box like 24 by 1 by 1. A box like that will only be able to fit toys that are long and...

...Maurice S. Butler Math533—Applied Managerial Statistics Course Project: Part A Introduction This project is based upon statistical data compiled concerning AJ Davis Department Stores, specific to a sample of its customer base. It is with intent of establishing relationship between location, gross income, and credit balances carried by customers that the following statistical analysis has been performed. It is assumed that information obtained as well as the interpretation of statistical analysis will enable credible recommendations in regard to future revenues or continued handling and/or maintenance of its receivables. Variables The first variable is the gross income of the stores’ customers. The data set includes 50 customers with gross income ranging from $20,000 to $79,000 per year. Compilation of the data into a frequency/relative frequency table (see below) reveals that the greatest frequency and relative frequency of the store’s customers is found within the $30,000 to $49,000 range. Fifty-two percent of the store’s customer base gross income is found within this range. First and third quartiles have been calculated to be 33 and 57 respectfully. However, no outliers have been identified within the data set. Income ($1000) | Frequency | Relative Frequency | 20-29 | 5 | 10% | 30-39 | 13 | 26% | 40-49 | 13 | 26% | 50-59 | 8 | 16% | 60-69 | 9 | 18% | 70-79 | 2 | 4% | | 50 | 100% | My second variable is the outstanding credit balances of...

On the most basic level, these problems are about how to allo-cate money. The choices are many: money can be borrowed or saved; money can be investedinto projects, undertaken with partners or with the aid of a lender; projects can be avoidedaltogether if they do not appear valuable enough. Finance is about how best to decide amongthese alternatives—and this textbook will explain how. There is one principal theme that carries through all of finance. It isvalue. It is the question Theme Number One: Value! Make Decisions Based on Value.“What is a project, a stock, or a house worth?” To make smart decisions, you must be able to assess value—and the better you can assess value, the smarter your decisions will be. The goal of a good corporate manager should be to take all projects that add value, and avoid Corporate managers needto know howto value—and so do you.those that would subtract value. Sounds easy?

...Few memories as a failure on a major project from half a decade ago still vividly remains in memories. As a Research Assistant to Tim, it was my first paid job. Tim, an Engineer, worked in silos and had driver social style to his heart beat. He only communicated the expectations without delving in the details that he had in his mind. Even though the Office space was a closed knit space for 16 students, Tim seldom hung out with people to build personal relationships. He only interacted with others when there was a need. His lack of explanation on why the project was needed had left me wondering regarding purpose and design aspects of the new programming project. I struggled on how to effectively design the project and often sought help from other people, who recommended me that the project needed investment in new programming platform as old platform was incapable of achieving the project objectives. After making almost no progress on the project and wasting time in attempts to make old platform workable, I received a vehement email from Tim, stating that XYZ Inc. was deciding to scale back on funding, as no progress reports were submitted. I was shocked to learn that I was even expected to submit progress reports at the end of quarter on the undertaken project in which I had neither any clue nor communication. As an amiable person, I was too quick to reach an agreement with Tim on project deliverables. I had thought that I would be receiving friendly advice and guidance from...

For example, if you use lines of code, then mentally assign ball park values to Small, Medium and Large as part of determining whether to give this criteria a high or low score. Follow a similar process ""Anticipated Duration"". Since project duration depends on project complexity, mentally categorize earlier projects as short, average or long duration to help put the current project in context. 2. After assigning a score for each criteria, view the Feasibility Study Suitability Indicator to discover the best method to use for determining project viability. 3.
