Curve-Fitting Project – Linear Model: Average Sales Prices of new homes sold in the United States between 1964 and 2008 (LR-1) Purpose: To analyze the average sales prices of new homes sold in the United States from 1964 to 2008. Data: The prices were retrieved from http://www.census.gov/const/uspriceann.pdf. I chose to use the prices between 1964 and 2008 as they showed a huge increase (More data was available (see link)).

outsourcing to keep up. Currently‚ we outsource only coarse and medium-sized yarn‚ but we believe that it would be more efficient to look at outsourcing all types. 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

3 Introduction to Linear Programming The development of linear programming has been ranked among the most important scientific advances of the mid-20th century‚ and we must agree with this assessment. Its impact since just 1950 has been extraordinary. Today it is a standard tool that has saved many thousands or millions of dollars for most companies or businesses of even moderate size in the various industrialized countries of the world; and its use in other sectors of society has been spreading

2. LINEAR MOTION In this experiment you will study the motion of an object in one dimension from a number of points of view. You will demonstrate how the variables of motion are related by differentiation and integration and investigate the relationship between potential and kinetic energy. Theory Why Study Motion? Motion is everywhere in the universe. Only at a temperature of absolute zero is the motion in any body truly absent. If motion exists then so also does energy. To the delight of

2011‚ one US dollar was equivalent to 0.7749 Euros. A linear equation of a function‚ E‚ which converts US dollars (D) to Euros (E) would be E = 0.7749D You would just put the number of dollars in for "D" and multiply by 0.7749 and this will give you the number of Euros you would get for your US dollars. This is a "real world application" of a linear function. Cell Phones Just about everyone has a cell phone‚ and most rate plans are a linear function of some kind. Let’s take a look at a basic example

The linear probability model‚ ctd. When Y is binary‚ the linear regression model Yi = β0 + β1Xi + ui is called the linear probability model. • The predicted value is a probability: • E(Y|X=x) = Pr(Y=1|X=x) = prob. that Y = 1 given x • Yˆ = the predicted probability that Yi = 1‚ given X • β1 = change in probability that Y = 1 for a given ∆x: Pr(Y = 1 | X = x + ∆x ) − Pr(Y = 1 | X = x ) β1 = ∆x 5 Example: linear probability model‚ HMDA data Mortgage denial v. ratio of debt payments to income (P/I

Linear Thermal Expansion The term thermal expansion refers to the increase in size of an object as that object is heated. With relatively few exceptions‚ all objects expand when they are heated and contract when they are cooled. Perhaps the most important exception to this rule is water. Water contracts as it cools from its boiling point to about 39.2°F (4°C). At that point‚ it begins to expand as it cools further to its freezing point. This unusual effect explains the fact that ice is less dense
