Leaving for vacations

Two colleagues, Mary and John are going to their villages during
the vacations by their cars. Their trips started from the same point
at the same time.
John drove 70km in fifty minutes. Then for another fifty minutes he
stayed at a coffee house where he rested and had a cup of coffee.
Then he continued his trip, but faster than before because he lost
time. So he reached to his destination 200 minutes since he
started the trip.

Mary, the second driver, drove 300km in
100 minutes. But she was forced to stop
at a car station, because her car broke
down. She had to fix it. So she stopped
driving for 50 minutes. Then she went on
her way. She drove slower, because she
was not sure that the car was fixed. She
was at her village after 150 minutes.

Results of a statistical investigation


The graph represents the
number of deaths and
births which have
occurred over the last 300
months in a country
according to the register
office archives.

The red curve shows the death rate while the blue one shows the birth rate. First, the deaths
are in a small increase for the first 50 months, in contrast to births which increase at a bigger
rate. The births continue to increase in the first 100 months. Both deaths and births have
been stabilized for 50 months each, but after the first 150 months there has been an
impressive increase in deaths and a smaller increase in births

Companies Apple and Bird


The graph shows the production of two
companies Apple and Bird, in
comparison. These two companies
produce with the same product,
childrens shoes.
The red curve represents the first
company Apple and the blue curve the
Bird.
The horizontal axis shows the time that
passes and the vertical one shows the
units of production.
As far as the red curve is concerned we
can see that in the first 50 weeks there was a small increase in the production of the Apple
Company. For the next fifty weeks the production was stable because of the general agitation
in the labor relations. After that, the company decided to give a bonus to the staff. The result
was a big increase to the production. The Bird Company has an increase of the production
rate at the beginning, but after 100 weeks as the general agitation in the labor relations was
continuing, the production was stable. After fifty weeks the production of the Bird Company
began to show a small increase. It is obvious that the new policy of the Apple Company had
good results for the company.
