GDP

- Y = C + I + (X - M)+ G

Where

Y= GDP C= Consumer Expenditure I= Investments X= Exports M= Imports G= Government expenditure Thus, Y= $1000+$200+$300+$200 Y= $1700 - If we increase our domestic energy production, it will help us to import less energy from foreign countries, thus decreasing the value of imports. This will increase the excess of exports over imports and thus increase the GDP of the country.

INTRODUCTION

Theory Electrical resistance is one of the most important properties of materials. It is defined mathematically as the ratio of voltage to the current passing through a conductor. In physical sense, it is opposition a material offers to the current flowing through it. This opposition to the passage of electricity is a result of collisions between charge carriers and other sub atomic particles. The collisions reduce the drift speed of electrons that carry charges. Materials that offer greatest opposition to current flow are called insulators while those that allow current to flow through them with minimal hindrance are called insulators. ...

- Salesman interpretation. The salesman is not right that the price of the printers is reduced by 50%. The salesman is not using percentages correctly because he does not consider that the second reduction was 20% of the reduced price. Percentages are a fraction of the price. The price changes after the first reduction. Therefore, the second reduction should be done at the already reduced price. The salesman makes a mistake by adding up the percentage (20 + 30) making him conclude that the percentage reduction is 50 %. The calculations would result in a total reduction of 50% of the original ...

Studying Effect of Age on Ability to Ignore Distractions

Introduction With aging, people tend to perform poorly on cognitive tasks as they are unable to ignore non-relevant information. At the same time, young adults are observed to be adept at ignoring irrelevant information as they seem to be more focussed and have the ability to ignore distractions. Research studies published so far are throwing highly contrasting results. Mack & Rock (1998) in studies related to inattentional blindness (IB) formulated a working hypothesis that there is no perception without attention, as young adults failed to respond or to remember information presented in the centre of their visual field.

Introduction

Osmosis refers to the net water movement across a membrane, which is selectively permeable and the movement is driven by a difference in the concentration of the solutes on the opposite sides of the membrane. A selectively permeable membrane allows water to pass through without allowing ions or solute molecules to pass through. Other small molecules that are not charged are also allowed to pass through the membrane. Diffusion, on the other hand, refers to the movement of molecules in a random motion as a result of the kinetic energy and causes the molecules to have a net movement from areas where the particles ...

Saddle point approximation implementation and derivations have typically relied on tools such as Edgeworth expansions, exponential tilting, complex integration, Hermite polynomials, and other advanced notions. Saddle point approximations are very important tools used in obtaining accurate expressions for distribution functions and densities. It has been a very valuable tool in asymptotic analysis. Since the seminal paper by Daniels (1954), several techniques of accurate approximations that rely on the saddle point approximation on one way or another have been developed. The saddle point approximations, however, derived its concept from the game theory, which involved two suspected criminals under police investigations. The ...
