One of the major advantage of the two-condition experiment has to do with interpreting the results of the study. Correct scientific methodology does not often allow an investigator to use previously acquired population data when conducting an experiment. For example, in the illustrative problem involving early speaking in children, we used a population mean value of 13.0 months. How do we really know the mean is 13.0 months? Suppose the figures were collected 3 to 5 years before performing the experiment. How do we know that infants haven’t changed over those years? And what about the conditions under which the population data were collected? Were they the same as in the experiment? Isn’t it possible that the people collecting the population data were not as motivated as the experimenter and, hence, were not as careful in collecting the data? Just how were the data collected? By being on hand at the moment that the child spoke the first word? Quite unlikely. The data probably were collected by asking parents when their children first spoke. How accurate, then, is the population mean?
-- They're losing employees . . . so you know that the line will slope down, and
its slope is negative;
-- They're losing employees at a steady rate . . . so you know that the slope is
the same everywhere on the line; this tells you that the graph is a straight line.
I can see the function right now, but I'll show you how to go through the steps to
find the function. I need to point out that these are steps that you've gone through
many times, but now that the subject pops up in a real-world situation, suddenly
you're running around in circles with your hair on fire screaming "What do I do ?
Somebody give me the answer !".
Just take a look at what has already been handed to you:
0 months . . . 65 employees
1 month . . . . 62 employees
2 months . . . 59 employees
You know three points on the line !
(0, 65) , (1, 62) , and (2, 59) .
For the first point, 'x' happens to be zero, so immediately
you have your y-intercept ! ' b ' = 65 .
You can use any two of the points to find the slope of the line.
You will calculate that the slope is negative-3 . . . which you
might have realized as you read the story, looked at the numbers,
and saw that they are <u>firing 3 employees per month</u>.
("Losing" them doesn't quite capture the true spirit of what is happening.)
So your function ... call it ' W(n) ' . . . Workforce after 'n' months . . .
is <em>W(n) = 65 - 3n</em> .
Answer:
$337.50
Step-by-step explanation:
$12.50(16) = $200
$5.50(25) = $137.50
Add the totals up:
$200 + 137.50 = $337.50
Ryan's revenue for last month was $337.50 :)

Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You have the following formula for calculate the area of the original circular chip:
Where D is the diameter of the circle.
2. Then, if the diameter of the original circular chip is doubled (2D) to use in a new board game, the area of the new chip can be calculated with the following formula:
