DESCRIPTIVE ANALYSIS According to Crossman (n.d.)‚ Descriptive statistics includes statistical procedures that we use to describe the population we are studying. The data could be collected from either a sample or a population‚ but the results help us organize and describe data. Descriptive statistics can only be used to describe the group that is being studied. That is‚ the results cannot be generalized to any larger group. Inferential statistics is concerned with making predictions or inferences about

Fermat’s last theorem Currently holding the world record for longest standing math problem ever‚ Fermat’s last theorem went unsolved for 365 years. Fermat’s last theorem was one of the largest white whales in the study of math. Over the centuries‚ thousands were puzzled by the impossible problem. From its conception to its solution‚ Fermat’s last theorem was one of the most difficult to solve yet easy to understand problems in mathematics. First‚ I will discuss the theorem and how it was introduced

Executive Overview‚ Part I The management staff at a hotel located in a popular Caribbean resort area is engaged in planning activities for the next year. Fundamental to any plans made will be the expected occupancy rate of the hotel. The management staff has extracted quarterly occupancy rates for the past 5 years from the hotel records to forecast the occupancy rates for quarters 1‚ 2‚ 3 and 4 of next year. Observing that this is a time series problem‚ we first generated a time series plot of

Application There are some applications of Thevenin’s Theorem in our daily lives. Thevenin’s Theorem is very useful to reduce a network with several voltage sources and resistors to an equivalent circuit composed a single voltage source and a single resistance connected to a load only. It is used in simplifying and analysing complex linear networks power systems and circuits where one particular where a particular load resistor‚ RL in the circuit is subject to change‚ and recalculation of the circuit

LIMITS AND CONTINUITY 1. The concept of limit x2 − 4 . Examine the behavior of f (x) as x approaches 2. Example 1.1. Let f (x) = x−2 Solution. Let us compute some values of f (x) for x close to 2‚ as in the tables below. We see from the first table that f (x) is getting closer and closer to 4 as x approaches 2 from the left side. We express this by saying that “the limit of f (x) as x approaches 2 from left is 4”‚ and write x→2− lim f (x) = 4. Similarly‚ by looking at the second table
