ss In our report, we will base on the dividend payment history and the weekly price for each of the two stocks in the past one year, to calculate the expect return and standard deviation for each of them. According to the ANZ dividend payment history, it shows that the ANZ dividend paid semi-annually (every July and December). So it is still no dividend payment in 2013. According to the BHP dividend payment history, it shows that the BHP dividend paid semi-annually (every March and September)

measuring the mixing properly is of great importance from the practical point of view and for the validation of theoretical models as well. In this work, the electrical resistance tomography (ERT) technique has been adopted to obtain the mixture distribution across the cross-section of the mixing vessel. The ERT has attracted many researchers' interests in the field of the process tomography because of its obvious advantages including non-intrusive measurement, high temporal resolution and non-radiological

Quantitative Techniques in Business Introduction to Statistics In the business world, and in fact, in practically every aspect of daily living, quantitative techniques are used to assist in decision making. Why? Unlike the classroom, in the “real world” there is often not enough information available to be guaranteed of making a correct decision. For instance, if advertisers would like to know how many households in the United States with televisions are tuned to a particular television show

Stochastic modeling "Stochastic" means being or having a random variable. A stochastic model is a tool for estimating probability distributions of potential outcomes by allowing for random variation in one or more inputs over time. The random variation is usually based on fluctuations observed in historical data for a selected period using standard time-series techniques. Distributions of potential outcomes are derived from a large number of simulations (stochastic projections) which reflect the random variation

The paper shall look at how Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA) evolved since 2000. It will also look at the strategic nightmares encountered, which led to making certain decisions and initiatives. It will analyse some of the strategies adopted and how they fit in line with the operating environment. The paper will look at background of ZESA, the general operating environment, the strategic choice taken and proffer possible advice which is not a panacea but offers pointers on how to lead

Hypothesis Quality Associates, Inc. is a consulting firm that advises its clients about sampling and statistical procedures that can be used to control manufacturing processes. In one case, a client provided Quality Associates with a sample of 800 observations that were taken during a time when the client's process was operating satisfactorily. The sample standard deviation for these data was .21, hence, the population standard deviation was assumed to be .21. Quality Associates then suggested that

Traumatic brain injury is the result when the brain tissues get damaged due to certain blows to the head (Anderson). According to Anderson in her article Traumatic Brain Injury: Complex Condition with Lasting Effects, among the leading contributors to traumatic brain injury are “unintentional falls, motor vehicle traffic incidents, and assaults”. In the said article, many different numeric descriptions have been presented. More specifically, the article provides the readers with different measures
