find situations in daily life where geometrical notions can be effectively used. In particular‚ in the following examples the student discovers situations in which properties of similar triangles learnt in the classroom are useful. Students need to be made aware of the fact that the study of geometry arose in response to certain human needs. They should know about the use of geometry in our daily or real life. In this project‚ students will discover situations in daily life where geometrical concepts

CASE STUDY: 1 The bulbs manufactured by a company gave a mean life of 3000 hours with standard deviation of 400 hours. If a bulb is selected at random‚ what is the probability it will have a mean life less than 2000 hours? Question: 1) Calculate the probability. 2) In what situation does one need probability theory? 3) Define the concept of sample space‚ sample points and events in context of probability theory. 4) What is the difference between objective and subjective probability

Javier Jorge Dr. Moss Managerial Analysis April 11th‚ 2012 Project 3 We are given a linear regression that gives us an equation on the relationship of Quantity on Total Cost. As stated in the project‚ the regression data is very good with a relatively high R2‚ significant F‚ and t-values but we can’t use this model to estimate plant size. When we perform a simple eye test on the residual plot for Q a trend seems to form from positive to negative and back to positive. When we also
