The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Speed, Time, and Distance

Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …

Profit and Loss

The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.

Units and Measurements

Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…

Seasonal business cycle. Suppose that profits on the sale of swimming suits over a 2-year period are given approximately by

P ( t ) = 5 − 5 cos π t 26 0 ≤ t ≤ 104

where P is profit (in hundreds of dollars) for a week of sales t weeks after January 1. The graph of the profit function is shown in the figure.

EXAMPLE 6.2 In Example 5.4, we considered the random variables Y₁ (the proportional amount of gasoline stocked at the beginning of a week) and Y2 (the proportional amount of gasoline sold during the week). The joint density function of Y₁ and Y2 is given by 3y1, 0 ≤ y2 yı≤ 1, f(y1, y2) = 0, elsewhere. Find the probability density function for U = Y₁ - Y₂, the proportional amount of gasoline remaining at the end of the week. Use the density function of U to find E(U).

7.20 a If U has a x² distribution with v df, find E(U) and V (U). b Using the results of Theorem 7.3, find E(S2) and V (S2) when Y₁, Y2,..., Y, is a random sample from a normal distribution with mean μ and variance o².
