Inequalities are equations that can be used to determine not just what something could equal but what something cannot equal. It tells us what the relative size is of two values and if they are big or small‚ too much or not enough. Inequalities could make it easier to determine how much someone might need of something in order to make a certain amount of something‚ while also determining how much more might be needed or how much be left. For example‚ if someone wanted to make cupcakes and flat

Types of Variables Binary variable Obsevations (i.e.‚ dependent variables) that occur in one of two possible states‚ often labelled zero and one. E.g.‚ “improved/not improved” and “completed task/failed to complete task.” Usually an independent or predictor variable that contains values indicating membership in one of several possible categories. E.g.‚ gender (male or female)‚ marital status (married‚ single‚ divorced‚ widowed). The categories are often assigned numerical values used as lables

The Case of Variable Laminates Name Grantham University Abstract A plywood manufacturer has tasked me with finding a solution to their problem regarding the inconsistency of their laminate cutting process. In order to find out where the problem lies‚ I will use an experimental design. Experimental design is a formal plan that details the specifies for conducting an experiment‚ such as with responses‚ factors‚ levels‚ blocks‚ treatments and tools to be used (Sower‚ 2011‚ p. 155)

TWO-VARIABLE INEQUALITY MAT 221 Joseph Oslakovic February 16‚ 2014 TWO-VARIABLE INEQUALITY This week we are learning about two-variable inequalities as they pertain to algebraic expressions. The inequality can be graphed to show the values included in and excluded from a given range of numbers. Solving for inequalities such as these is a critical skill in many trades which can save or cost a company a lot of time and money. Ozark Furniture Company can obtain at

2-Variable Inequality Here is an example of a problem very similar to the one in the Week Three Assignment: Catskills Hammock Company can obtain at most 2000 yards of striped canvas for making its full size and chair size hammocks. A full size hammock requires 10 yards of canvas and the chair size requires 5 yards of canvas. Write an inequality that limits the number of striped hammocks of each type which can be made.
