UNIVERSAL VIRTUAL CONTENT ACADEMY (UVC) CPA PAPER 5 Index numbers By the end of topic‚ participants should be able to; 1. Appreciate the usefulness of index numbers in monitoring changes over time 1. Calculate simple indices 2. Determine simple aggregate price indices 3. Use laspeyre’s and Paashe’s price indices to determine weighted indices. What is an index number? An index number is a statistical measure designed to show/ monitor changes over a period of time in the price‚ quantity

Objective The objective of this experiment is to understand reflection and refraction and how they vary with different matters. At the end of this experiment‚ you will be able to: Determine index of refraction of various solutions Recognize the passage of refracted beams though different medium Understand the concept of Snell’s Law Understand how the speed of electromagnetic waves in different matters are related Determine the critical angle for total internal reflection Materials 550

In this project‚ a hollow prism has been used to calculate the refractive index of various liquids. The hollow prism is filled with liquid and then the experiment

wavelength of light. Because the velocity of light in air is always greater than that through a liquid‚ the refractive index is a number greater than 1; for example‚ hexane n20D 1.3751. The superscript 20 indicates that the measurement was made at 20 oC‚ and the subscript D refers to the yellow D-line of a sodium vapor lamp‚ light with a wavelength of 589 nm. The measurement is made with a refractometer using a few drops of liquid. Compensation is made within the instrument for the fact that white

CPI (Consumer price index) A consumer price index (CPI) measures changes in the price level of consumer goods and services purchased by households. The CPI is a statistical estimate constructed using the prices of a sample of representative items whose prices are collected periodically. GDP deflator In economics‚ the GDP deflator (implicit price deflator for GDP) is a measure of the level of prices of all new‚ domestically produced‚ final goods and services in an economy. GDP stands for gross

OVERVIEW INDEX NUMBERS compare figures which show changes in a given variable. The most common variables used in index numbers are price and quantity. By getting the difference of the index numbers‚ we are able to determine the relative or percent change in the price or quantity of a commodity between two periods of time or two localities. Among the more commonly used index numbers are the consumer price index‚ retail price index‚ wholesale price index‚ and the cost-of-living index. DEFINITION

Assignment: Inverted Index October 19‚ 2012 1 Introduction Today‚ top search engines like Google and Yahoo use a data structure called Inverted Index for their matching of queries to the documents and give users the relevant documents according to their rank. Inverted Index is basically a mapping from a word to its position of occurence in the document. Since a word may appear more than once in the document‚ storing all the positions and the frequency of a word in the document gives an
