VECTORS (I) Introduction Quantities with magnitude but without direction are called scalars. Examples: distance, speed, and mass. Quantities with both magnitude and direction are called vectors. Examples: displacement, velocity, and weight. Geometrical Representation of Vectors A vector can be represented with a line segment with an arrowhead indicating its specific → direction. Thus the displacement from the point A to the point B is the vector AB , represented by the straight line AB in the

asked three of its analysts to propose scientific forecasting systems to replace old Joe. The forecasters and the proposed methods are as follows: A. Allen: three-week moving average B. Black: exponential smoothing with ( = 0.2 C. Clark: simple linear regression using the previous 6 weeks of data Each of the three forecasters has been assigned one bracket. The demand for the past six weeks (in thousands of brackets) is given below, as well as the forecasts obtained with the three suggested

represent the number of cars moving between the intersections. To keep the traffic moving smoothly, the number of cars entering the intersection per hour must equal the number of cars leaving per hour. 1. Describe the situation. 2. Create a system of linear equations using a, b, c, d, e, f, and g that models continually flowing traffic. 3. Solve the system of equations. Variables f and g should turn out to be independent. 4. Answer the following questions: a. List acceptable traffic flows for two

Correlation Correlation is a statistical technique that can show whether and how strongly pairs of variables are related. For example, height and weight are related; taller people tend to be heavier than shorter people. The relationship isn't perfect. People of the same height vary in weight, and you can easily think of two people you know where the shorter one is heavier than the taller one. Nonetheless, the average weight of people 5'5'' is less than the average weight of people 5'6'', and their
