Note that we just used the word “typical” although in many cases you might think of using the word “average.” We need to be careful with the word “average” as it means different things to different people in different contexts. One of the most common uses of the word “average” is what mathematicians and statisticians call the arithmetic mean, or just plain old mean for short.

Suppose we are hired by a politician to determine the amount of support he has among the electorate. What population should we study? How do we choose an appropriate sample? There are many ways to sample a population, but there is one goal we need to keep in mind: we would like the sample to be representative of the population.

In a standard bank account, any interest we earn is automatically added to our balance, and we earn interest on that interest in future years. This reinvestment of interest is called compounding.

This learning model employs a teacher-guided-discovery process that allows the instructor to identify gaps in student understanding and use class time to remediate those gaps before moving on to the next topic.

It is vitally important for students who take this course (and its corequisite) to have a thorough and complete refresher of Algebra skills needed for Calculus. These problems may be assigned as in-class practice problems, and can be also assigned as homework, to be graded and counted toward the Applied Calculus corequisite final grade.

After this chapter, we solve quadratic equations by using any of the techniques we have discussed in this textbook.

If the rate of the passenger train exceeds the rate of the freight train by 15 miles per hour, and they meet after 4 hours, what are the rates of the passenger and train?
