Elasticity is a measure of responsiveness. It shows us how much something changes when there is another change in one of the other variables that determines it. There are three elasticities of demand that we consider‚ price elasticity of demand (PED)‚ income elasticity of demand (YED) and cross elasticity of demand (XED). An important aspect of a product’s demand curve is how much the quantity demanded changes when price is changed. The economic measure of this response in the price elasticity

Since the inception of computing‚ the binary digit (bit) has been used to encode information at the lowest level. Why? … How efficient is this process‚ and are there any ways of optimizing it? The bit is the most primitive data type of the computer. It is often represented with 1 or 0. In this discussion‚ we will explore reasons for choosing the bit as the lowest level encoding. We will also discuss how it can be efficiently stored‚ transferred and executed. Finally‚ we will examine ways to optimize

Significant Figures Even in this day and age with all of the equipment and technology available to us‚ whenever someone works with a numerical value that was given‚ measured‚ or calculated they can assume that it has some degree of uncertainty. There will always be some degree of uncertainty because as human beings we do not possess the skill to make exact measurements. Take for example if a group of students were performing in a lab and a step in the procedure was to measure a piece of metal.

How are data being represented in computers? Computers work with a binary number system that consists of only two digits - zero and one. Inside the computer binary number is represented by an electrical pulse. One means a pulse of electricity and zero means no pulse. All the data entered into computers is first converted into the binary number system. One digit in binary number system is called bit and combination of eight bits is called byte. A byte is the basic unit that is used to represent the

Terminal digit -straight numerical and middle digit filing system- Terminal digit uses 6 numbers for three section example 12-04-00‚ terminal is 12‚ secondary digits is 04‚ primary digits is 00. Straight numbering is medical records are filed in straight chronological order. Middle digit is an alternative to the terminal‚ is a combination of terminal and middle with 6 digits except the middle digits are primary and left digits are secondary and the right are tertiary

astrology and similar divinatory arts.[4] Despite the long history of numerological ideas‚ the word "numerology" is not recorded in English before c.1907.[5] The term numerologist is also used derogatorily for those perceived to place excess faith in numerical patterns (and draw scientifically unsound inferences from them)‚ even if those people do not practice traditional numerology. For example‚ in his 1997 book Numerology: Or What Pythagoras Wrought‚ mathematician Underwood Dudley uses the term to discuss

DECIMAL FORMATS INTRODUCTION HOW DOES A COMPUTER REPRESENT THE NUMERICAL DATA IN BINARY FORMAT? Base-2 digits [Straight Binary] BCD [Binary-Coded Decimal] binary-coded decimal (BCD) - class of binary encodings of decimal numbers In byte-oriented systems (i.e. most modern computers)‚ the term uncompressed BCD usually implies a full byte for each digit (often including a sign)‚ whereas packed BCD typically encodes two decimal digits within a single byte by taking advantage of the fact that four
