Jance, Marsha L.; Thomopoulos, Nick T. – American Journal of Business Education, 2011
The paper shows how to find the min and max extreme interval values for the exponential and triangular distributions from the min and max uniform extreme interval values. Tables are provided to show the min and max extreme interval values for the uniform, exponential, and triangular distributions for different probabilities and observation sizes.

Burrell, Quentin; Rousseau, Ronald – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1995
Discussion of authorship distributions focuses on the results of a numerical study for fractional authorship attribution. Highlights include coauthors; multinomial coefficients; Lotka functions; probability distributions of articles per author; and probability distributions of authors per article. (LRW)

Wu, Dane W. Wu; Bangerter, Laura M. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2004
Given a set of urns, each filled with a mix of black chips and white chips, what is the probability of drawing a black chip from the last urn after some sequential random shifts of chips among the urns? The Total Probability Formula (TPF) is the common tool to solve such a problem. However, when the number of urns is more than two and the number…

Terrell, Colin D. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1982
Tables are presented giving the critical values of the biserial and the point biserial correlation coefficients (when the null hypothesis assumes a value of zero for the coefficient) at the 0.05 and the 0.01 levels of significance. (Author)

Ramasinghe, W. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2005
It is very well known that the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality is an important property shared by all inner product spaces and the inner product induces a norm on the space. A proof of the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality for real inner product spaces exists, which does not employ the homogeneous property of the inner product. However, it is shown that a real…

Mukhopadhyay, Sushanta; Mukherjee, R. N.; Chaudhuri, K. S. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2005
An inventory replenishment policy is developed for a deteriorating item and price-dependent demand. The rate of deterioration is taken to be time-proportional and the time to deterioration is assumed to follow a two-parameter Weibull distribution. A power law form of the price dependence of demand is considered. The model is solved analytically…
