What is a linear equation?  What is a system of linear equations?  ax+by=c is a linear equation with x and y as variables.  When more than x and y, a linear equation is    a1x1 + a2x2 + . . .+anxn = b where x1, x2, xn are variables.  A finite collection of linear equations in the variables x1, x2,  . . ., xn is called a system of linear equations.  What is a solution for a system of linear equations?  What does it mean to solve a linear system?  Given a linear equation a1x1 + a2x2 +

  • Standard deviation:  average measure from data and mean (square root of  variance).How far the data is on average from the mean.

    • Solve: Find the variance and take the square root of it.

  • Coefficient of Variation: standard deviation of two sets of data. Shown as as a percentage and measures the variation side by side with the mean

    • Solve:: CV = standard deviation/ mean * 100

  • Counting numbers is discrete


Center and Variability:

  • Descriptive Measures: a single number thats comes from the sample data  

  • Central

Any marketing actions a firm takes today can change consumer’s brand awareness or brand image and have an indirect effect on the success of future marketing activities. For example; the frequent use of temporary price decreases as sales promotions may create or strengthen a “discount” association to the bran, with potentially adverse implications on customer loyalty and responses to future price changes or non-price-oriente marketing communication efforts. Marketers must actively manage brand

Cluster: A collection of data objects

 similar (or related) to one another within the same group

 dissimilar (or unrelated) to the objects in other groups

 Cluster analysis (or clustering, data segmentation, …)

 Finding similarities between data according to the

characteristics found in the data and grouping similar

data objects into clusters

 Unsupervised learning: no predefined classes (i.e., learning

by observations vs. learning by examples: supervised)

 Typical applications

 As
