Probability theory and mathematical statistics for engineers
Likelihood conception and Statistical equipment for Engineers describes the elemental recommendations and functions of chance and statistics. by means of bringing jointly smooth likelihood conception with the simpler functions of data, it bridges the distance among conception and perform. issues corresponding to, for instance, Fourier transforms and stochastic tactics are awarded as a chain of tools or recipes which are utilized to express difficulties, yet for this they should be good understood.

S liquid ratio has been rising for four years; but 0*9 was probably on the low side and the rise is thoroughly healthy. The current ratio has remained fairly constant. The case of Imperial Tobacco has already been discussed. Courtaulds have suffered a fall in the current ratio and a slight drop in the liquid. Neither calls for much comment, particularly as these both seem to have now levelled out. I. The case of Lancashire Cotton Corpn. is more interesting. I.

It has become a permanent feature of finance. It might be assumed, then, that it is not due for immediate repayment and consequently could be excluded from quick current liabilities. Should this be done a surplus of £4-5 million appears. There are two other points to note. Firstly it cannot be known whether the creditors figure is an average for the year or whether purchases are made seasonally, thus perhaps inflating creditors at balance sheet date. The second point is that there are trade investments of £20% million.
