Data Analysis Does temperature affect the strength of Gorilla Glue? If two pieces of wood are glued together at a 90° angle and one is put in the freezer‚one at room temperature‚ and one heated‚ then the glued wood from the freezer will be stronger. The independent variable was the temperature. The dependent variable was the strength of the glue. Some constant variables were the amount of glue‚ the type of glue‚ and the type of wood used. The experimental group was the temperatures. The control

1. The chief economist for Argus Corporation‚ a large appliance manufacturer‚ estimated the firm’s short-run cost function for vacuum cleaners using an average variable cost function of the form. AVC= a + bQ+ cQ^2 (the 2 is suppose to be exponent) Where AVC=dollars per vacuum cleaner and Q=number of vacuum cleaners produced each month. Total fixed cost each month is $180‚000. The following results were obtained: Dependent Variable:AVC R-Square

COST‐BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF AN RFID ASSET TRACKING SYSTEM INTRODUCTION This paper outlines the cost‐benefit analysis of using Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in an asset‐tracking application. To facilitate the analysis‚ RFID will be compared against the incumbent technology‚ bar‐coding. An experiment comparing these two technologies was conducted‚ and the findings from this experiment are further analysed. Security
