However, the rising cost of tuition fees and other charges has placed public institutions in an awkward situation making it questionable if whether they can provide affordable and quality education in the face of the current economic hardships. Students, on the other hand, could not help but seek for various loans in order to make their way through college. For most families who are earning a median income, sending a single child in college would leave them financially unstable ...

Introduction

Health insurance coverage is a sensitive issue in the USA. A case in point is the recently enacted Obamacare in the USA. The law intended to widen coverage of health insurance to all American citizens including the vulnerable groups that are often disadvantaged in market-driven health insurance schemes. The reason that is always given for government provision of health insurance and health services is that the very poor cannot afford to pay market premiums for health insurance since they can barely meet their basic needs. Therefore, there is a need to subsidize health insurances and costs to those groups.

Sales Comparison

Let us calculate how much sales in dollars made each of the salespersons during 6 weeks.
Total A = week1 + week2+week3+week4+week5+week6 = 1774+1808+1890+1932+1855+1726=10985

All other calculations can be seen in graph Total of the Table1.

Central Tendency
Mean for week 1 = Total 1 /4 = 1678
Mean for week 2 = Total 2/4 = 1569,25
Mean for week 3 = Total 3/ 4= 1819,25
Mean for week 4 = Total 4/4= 1701,25
Mean for week 5 = Total 5/4 = 1701
Mean for week 6 = Total 6/4 = 1575,25
Median for week 1 =1330, 1402, 1774, 2205 = (1402+1774)/2 = 1588
Median for week 2 = 1295,1507,1665, ...

Quantitative Methods

Holding period return
Holding period return is the total returns received from holding a particular investment portfolio of assets. The holding period return rate usually calculated as the total sum of all income and capital gains of the investments divided by the investment value at the beginning of the trading period being measured (Hallerbach, 2003). It is a very basic way used to measure the rate of return obtained from a particular investment. Therefore, its calculation is based on a unit-value-invested rather than on a time basis. This, however, makes it difficult to provide a comparison of returns on different investments with also different ...

Problem #1

Plot the histogram of the number of cases of accident for each group of street speed, km/h.
These histograms describe the distribution of the number of cases of accident that have happened at the speed of 40, 60, 80 and 100 km/h. The distribution of the accidents at the speed of 40 km/h and 60 km/h is right skewed. The distribution of accidents at the 80 km/h speed is almost symmetric and the distribution of accidents at 100 km/h is uniform.

Problem #2

The average number of accidents at the speed of 40 km/h is 3.1 with a standard deviation of ...

Mean is the average that is obtained by summing up all the numbers and dividing by the number of observations (Curwin & Slater, 2008). The median is the middle value when data in a data set is order either in ascending or descending order (Curwin & Slater, 2008). Mean and Median are measures of central tendency, as they measure how values scatter around a central value (Lucey, 2002). The standard deviation is a measure of dispersion that measures how much individual values deviate from the mean (Lucey, 2002).
The bottles sampled were found to contain on average 15.854 ounces with a ...

Soft tissue injuries of the handCarpal tunnel Syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome is an arm disorder that causes tingling, numbness and other indications. Carpal tunnel syndrome is associated with a pinched nerve in the wrist.

Urbanization occurs because of economic development. The urban areas continue to account for an increasing share of the Gross National Product (GNP) in many countries.

An increase in the price of houses will result to high investments due to the capital gain expectation, which in turn will lead to economic development. House prices have also had an impact on consumer expenditure (Matteo, 12). The significant rise ...

According to the World Bank , population density is a measure of the numbers of persons permanently settled in a region, divided by the total land area of the region in square kilometres or square miles. This formula excludes refugees who are not permanently settled and who are still considered part of the population of their native country. The formula also excludes from the measurement of land area, any inland water bodies such as rivers and lakes and the area of the continental shelf.

Abstract

Public or private transportation is a big issue in trying to cut and maintain low CO2 emissions. This issue has become controversial in some circles so this paper uses math to determine which choice is better for me. Data from the Australian Greenhouse Office, the Australian Bureau of Statistics and the United States Energy Department is used. These government offices have reported transport emissions as compared to the emissions of other public sectors. Also different modes of transportation and their fuel types are reported upon as compared to passenger activity and energy use. According to the calculations the use of ...

Physical activity is a much smaller priority among youth in America and other countries, including the UK (Brockman et al., 2010). These habits of a sedentary lifestyle most often translate into inactivity as an adult as well, increasing the risk of mortality and disease (Gustafson and Rhodes, 2006). Obesity and cardiovascular disease is often linked to inactivity in children, causing significant health problems for youth around the world (Cleland and Venn, 2010). More successful interventions promoting physical activity in youth must be found and implemented if youth health is to be improved.

Active play is one method in which physical activity ...
