Read the article "How to Display Data Badly," by Howard Wainer. It was published in the American Statistician in 1984, volume 38, pages 137-147. You can find it here:http://www.jstor.org/stable/2683253. Next, scour the Internet (or if you are feeling particularly plucky, look through your company's annual report!) to find an
A study of family income is studied through a sample of 500 randomly selected families. The results can be summarized as the mean family income was $41,000 and the median income was $29,000. The highest income was $253,000 and the lowest was $2,600. Part 1) Sketch a diagram of the income distributions. Describe if the dis

"For a decay function, there will be higher values of the y-intercept initially. For a growth function, there will be lower values of the x-intercept initially". Did this mean to sayy intercept for both of these? There is no x intercept, right? Also, won't the y intercept be (0,1) for both of these types of functions general
Use Newton's Method to approximate the zero(s) of the function. Continue the process until two successive approximations differ by less than 0.001. Then find the zero(s) using a graphing utility and compare the results f(x)=x-2sqrt(x+1). See the attached file.

A rental company charges $40.00 a day plus $0.34 per mile to rent a moving truck. The total cost, y, for a day's rental if x miles are driven is described by y = 0.34x + 40. A second company charges $32.00 a day plus $0.44 per mile, so the daily cost, y, if x miles are driven is described by y = 0.44x + 32. The graphs of the two
