Activity 3.3Making Linear Measurements Purpose How thick is one of the hairs on your head? Could it be measured accurately with a standard inch scale? If the smallest increment on an inch scale is 1/16 inch‚ then 20 average size human hairs could fit within the space of a 1/16 inch gap. The required degree of accuracy needed is dependent on the application. If you were to build a home‚ a standard inch scale is perfect for laying out walls and locating window openings.A dial caliper is a precision

Linear Model of Communication It is a one way model to communicate with others. It consists of the sender encoding a message and channeling it to the receiver in the presence of noise. Draw backs – the linear model assumes that there is a clear cut beginning and end to communication. It also displays no feedback from the receiver. • For example; a letter‚ email‚ text message‚ lecture. There are two main linear model which are used to explain the human communication process. They are .

There are so many potential suppliers and constraints to consider that we constructed a linear programming model to identify our best option and check our solution’s sensitivity to changes in our situation. We’ve analyzed our potential suppliers for each gauge‚ taking into account their capacity‚ cost of production for each plant‚ and transportation costs (The model and our objective function can be found in the appendix.)
