experienced many hardships from the British‚ and at multiple times were let down from what they estimated they were deserving of. The “J curve” is known as a diagram indicating the climbing up and the sudden down of any idea‚ or action. The “J curve” is an accurate representation of the colonist’s expectations at the time of the “oppressive” British. The “J curve” seems to center around two main points for the colonists. The first was the wars they fought‚ the outcomes‚ and the government and the

Stock Market Model (Sine Curve) Sine curve is a technique used in everyday life. Whether it be from sound waves‚ to electrical curves‚ or light waves‚ sine curve is all around us. One place that is hugely affected by sine curve is the STOCK MARKET. The stock market is where “ publicly held companies are issued or traded through either exchanged or over-the-counter market”(investopedia.com). The purpose of using sine curve is to show whether or not the market is a cycle mode or a trend mode

Whether it is by making mistakes‚ by observing others‚ or repeating a process over again‚ it is human nature to learn. In their book The Bell Curve‚ Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray disagree and hold the position that human intelligence is inborn and measurable by IQ‚ which In turn shows how much success a single individual will have in life. The Bell Curve supports a class system‚ arguing that the intelligent are likely to become ever more dominant and prosperous‚ while the unintelligent are falling

The Bell Curve The opinions of Herrnstein and Murray in their book‚ The Bell Curve is that human intelligence is both inherited and also has environmental factors that contribute to a person’s future in many different areas such as; finances‚ a career‚ when they start a family‚ and whether or not a person will break the law instead of a person’s level of education and economic status. The authors go on to say that the more intelligent people of society are keeping their distance from the less

Learning Curve Primer The concept of a Learning Curve is motivated by the observation (in many diverse production environments) that‚ each time the cumulative production doubles‚ the hours required to produce the most recent unit decreases by approximately the same percentage. For example‚ for an 80% learning curve: If cumulative production doubles from 50 to 100‚ then the hours required to produce the 100th unit is 80% of that for the 50th unit. The learning curve formula can be expressed

Bombay The long-run cost curve (LTC) is composed of a series of short-run cost curves. Assumes that the firm has only one plant‚ with the corresponding short-run cost curve given by STC1‚ Suppose the firm decides to add two more plants with associated two more short-run cost curves given by STC2 and STC3. Prof. Trupti Mishra‚ School of Management‚ IIT Bombay The long-run total cost curve (LTC) is then drawn through the minimum of the short-run cost curves‚ STC1‚STC2‚ and STC3. The
