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

Newton’s Laws‚ linear momentum‚ and kinetic energy. Principles In this experiment you will study a collision where a moving object strikes and sticks to an initially motionless object. When the colliding objects stick together the collision is said to be completely inelastic. The net momentum of the system should not change‚ but the net kinetic energy of the system will decrease. The amount of kinetic energy left after the collision can be predicted using conservation of momentum. Linear momentum

dimensions of disability (Reeve‚ 2002). Also the concept of disability is not linear (Reeve‚ 2002). People can be disabled when completing one task yet not disabled when completing another (). For example a deaf student may be disabled when asked to listen to a cd and write down how it makes them feel but not if they are required to look at a picture and write down how that makes them feel. So treating disability as a linear dichotomy is to

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

COMPUTER PROGRAMMING Programming languages for computers are developed with the primary objective of facilitating a large number of persons to use computers without the need to know in detail the internal structure of a computer. Languages are matched to the type of applications which are to be programmed using the language. The ideal language would be one which expresses precisely the specification of a problem to be solved‚ and converts it into a series of instructions for a computer. It is not
