fixed and known values For example‚ deciding how many sections of a course to offer during a semester can be modeled as a deterministic model since the costs and benefits of offering each section are known. The most commonly used deterministic modeling technique is Linear Programming Probabilistic (also called stochastic) models assume that some input data are not known with certainty That is‚ these models assume that the values of some important variables will not be known before

Chemical Reactions I. Purpose – The purpose of this lab was to observe different type of chemical reactions to write and balance chemical equations. II. Hypothesis: If you mix two chemicals together‚ then they will change color and/or bubble/fix. III. Procedure - Workstation 1: 1. Light the Bunsen Burner 2. Add 5 – 8 mL of HCL to a test tube that’s in the test tube rack 3. Drop a 2 – cm piece of Mg ribbon into the test tube 4. Record Observations 5. Clean Workstation

Linear Programming Application Transportation Problem The Navy has 9‚000 pounds of material in Albany‚ Georgia that it wishes to ship to three installations: San Diego‚ Norfolk‚ and Pensacola. They require 4‚000‚ 2‚500‚ and 2‚500 pounds‚ respectively. Government regulations require equal distribution of shipping among the three carriers. The shipping costs per pound for truck‚ railroad‚ and airplane transit are shown below. Formulate and solve a linear program to determine the shipping

Symbolic Interaction Symbolic Interactionism originated with two key theorists‚ George Herbert Mead and Charles Horton Cooley. George Herbert Mead was a proponent of this theory and believed that the true test of any theory was that "It was useful in solving complex social problems" The term "symbolic interactionism" has come into use as a label for a relatively distinctive approach to the study of human life and human conduct. The symbolic interaction perspective‚ also called symbolic interactionism

our minds‚ which perceive the life of the people who had no choice but to live through the winds. Her vison of her insane neighbor with a machete represented the madness the winds really caused to the town. Didion also utilized another literary technique‚ symbolism‚ to identify the “meek little wives” because it showed that the husbands were usually the powerful ones in the relationship instead of the other way around. The winds seemed to have transferred power to the wives‚ even with intentions

from one another‚ the songs that are incorporated in the shows further the plot in many ways. One musical that contains songs that furthers the plot is “Show Boat”. For example‚ the song “Ol’ Man River” is used to show one of the various themes of the musical. One of those themes includes‚ “what goes around comes back around”. Throughout the song‚ the man who sings it symbolizes the importance of picking yourself back up‚ and moving on. Another

Contrary to many people’s thoughts about seasons‚ summer is not due to the Earth being closer to the sun and vice versa for winter (these differences are extremely small). The Earth moves around the sun anti-clockwise in an elliptical orbit‚ with one revolution representing a year (365.256 days). To complete the orbit‚ Earth travels at an approximate speed of 67‚000 miles an hour. While we are orbiting around the Sun‚ we are also rotating around an imaginary axis of the earth‚ with one revolution

eliminate or lessen the chances of evidence or effort being duplicated. While each scene and victim may need a different search pattern‚ each pattern searches the probable points of entry first and any exits possibly used by the criminal. A line/strip search is one that is used by one or two investigators who walk in straight lines across the crime scene (Saferstein‚ 2009). They start at the outer lying areas and walk straight across to the other side of the scene. This is done over and over again

Linear Regression & Best Line Analysis Linear regression is used to make predictions about a single value. Linear regression involves discovering the equation for a line that most nearly fits the given data. That linear equation is then used to predict values for the data. A popular method of using the Linear Regression is to construct Linear Regression Channel lines. Developed by Gilbert Raff‚ the channel is constructed by plotting two parallel‚ middle lines above and below a Linear Regression
