SUBMISSION QUESTION 7 EXTERNALITIES AND COASE THEOREM (a) Explain what is meant by “externalities”? (b) Consider an industry whose production process emit a gaseous pollutant into the atmosphere. Use the simple supply and demand model to demonstrate that‚ in the absence of any regulation‚ this industry’s production will result in allocative inefficiency in the use of society’s resources. Externalities is cost or benefit from production or consumption of commodity that flow to external parties

Inferential Statistics • Descriptive statistics (mainly for samples) • Our objective is to make a statement with reference to a parameter describing a population • Inferential statistics does this using a two-part process: • (1) Estimation (of a population parameter) • (2) Hypothesis testing Inferential Statistics • Estimation (of a population parameter) - The estimation part of the process calculates an estimate of the parameter from our sample (called a statistic)‚ as a kind of “guess” as to

SOLTEQ® Equipment for Engineering Education & Research BERNOULLI’S THEOREM DEMONSTRATION MODEL: FM 24 HIS Bernoulli’s Theorem Demonstration (Model: FM 24) apparatus consists of a classical Venturi made of clear acrylic. A series of wall tappings allow measurement of the static pressure distribution along the converging duct‚ while a total head tube is provided to traverse along the centre line of the test section. These tappings are connected to a manometer bank incorporating a manifold with air

of the hypotenuse‚ and x and 2x + 4 being the legs of the triangle. Now I know how I can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for x. The Pythagorean Theorem states that in every right triangle with legs of length a and b and hypotenuse c‚ these lengths have the formula of a2 + b2 = c2. Let a = x‚ and b = 2x + 4‚ so that c = 2x + 6. Then‚ by putting these measurements into the Theorem equation we have x2 + (2x + 4)2 = (2x + 6)2 The binomials into the Phythagorean Therom x2 + 4x2 + 16x +

My Triangle Congruence Project was drawn as the sun. With my math project and in different forms there are types of way to make sure that a triangle is congruent. Like ASA‚ AAS‚ and SAS. My project was made out of mostly scalene triangles‚ but also included some isosceles and right triangles. My project consisted a series of triangles that made my sun the best that it could possible be. My inspiration for drawing this actual came to me when I was outside and I am allergic to pollen‚ so I did some

of Katherines by John Green An Abundance of Katherines is a book about a guy named Colin who was dumped by 19 girls named Katherine. He went on a road trip with his friend Hassan to take his mind off the last Katherine and to prove a mathematical theorem he thinks that will predict the future of relationships (also help him to finally get a girl and stable relationship). The book is published in 2006‚ and in 2007 it won Michael L. Printz Award and received recognition as one of American Library Association’s
