THE MOMENTS OF A RANDOM VARIABLE Definition: Let X be a rv with the range space Rx and let c be any known constant. Then the kth moment of X about the constant c is defined as Mk (X) = E[ (X c)k ]. (12) In the field of statistics only 2 values of c are of interest: c = 0 and c = . Moments about c = 0 are called origin moments and are denoted by k‚ i.e.‚ k = E(Xk )‚ where c = 0 has been inserted into equation (12). Moments about the

the costs for the year. The restaurant wanted to see what some of their fixed and variable costs were for the year. They also wanted to make sure they remain in their relevant range. The costs focused on were the cost of hamburgers (raw materials) and the cost of building rent. It was determined that the raw materials were the variable costs because the cost will vary based on production of hamburgers. A variable cost is a cost that will change in direct proportion to changes in the cost-driver

The Absorption Spectrum of Cobalt(II) Chloride Thang Dinh Lab partner: Alex Yang CHM 151 – 102 11/17/2014 Introduction: Many compounds absorb a certain spectrum of visible light. Since Beer’s Law describe the relationship between molar absorptivity and concentration‚ one could use his equation A = kc to find the unknown concentration by the known absorptivity. The graph of absorption spectrum is represented by a linear regression. From the graph‚ one could deduct that as the concentration decreases

Due to a clerical error‚ a company overstated by $50‚000 the amount of inventory on hand at the end of the year. Will net income for the year be overstated or understated? Identify the two accounts on the year-end balance sheet that will be in error and indicate whether they will be understated or overstated. Error: The ending inventory is overstated by $50‚000. Effect on net income: When the ending inventory is overstated‚ then‚ the cost of goods sold expense will be understated as the ending inventory

The five major variables of project management are essential in pretty much every project. Time which would is the amount of time required to complete the project. Typically it is broken down into the time required to complete the components of the project. This is then broken down into the time required to complete each task contributing to the completion of the project. Then there is cost which will typically be determined by the consultant or contractors hourly rate multiplied by an estimated

Is Standard Costing Still Relevant? Motivation The activity-based costing (ABC)‚ Just-in-Time (JIT)‚ the balanced scorecard‚ and target costing methods appeared and used wide‚ it leads to confusion about the sense of relevant of standard cost. Besides‚ standard costing and variance analysis had become disconnected from actual practices at the industry level. Research question In this case‚ author solved four questions: 1. Is standard costing used in Dubai? 2. How important are various functions
