You are a cognitive psychologist who has developed a new treatment for depression. Currently, the most effective treatments for depression are behavioral treatments and pharmacological treatments (treatments involving medication). In order to validate your new treatment, you need to show that it is at least as effective as behavioral treatment and medication. You conduct a clinical trial to determine the effectiveness of your treatment by randomly assigning 60 individuals with depression to four treatment groups: a Control group (n = 15), a Cognitive Therapy group (n = 15), a Behavioral Therapy group (n = 15), and a Pharmacological Therapy group (n = 15). After 6 weeks of treatment, you assess depression using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI; range: 0 – 63 with 0 indicating no depression and 63 indicating severe depression). Use the 6 steps of hypothesis testing and SPSS to determine whether the groups differ in terms of scores on the BDI. Use the SPSS #2 to conduct the statistical test, record your answers on the answer sheet and attach SPSS output.

Suppose you want to make at most 10 cups of trail mix, using all of the ingredients. You dont want either ingredient to dominate the mixture so you want each ingredient to contribute at least 10% of the total volume of the mix made. You want the entire amount of trail mix to have no more than 7000 calories and you want to maximize the the amount of carbohydrates in the mix. (Use "solver" or an equivalent program because the simplex method gets to complicated)

1) What constraints must be placed on the objective function?

2) Find the number of cups of each ingredient in the mix so the amount of carbohydrates is maximized.

3) How many grams of carbohydrates are in a cup of the final mix? How many calories?

4) Under all the constraints given about, what recipe for the trail mix will maximize the amount of protein in the mix? How many grams of protein are in a cup of the mix? Calories?

5) Consider making a batch of trail mix under the following conditions: You still want to make at most 10 cups of trail mix, and you still want each of the ingredients to contribute at least 10% of the total volume of the mix made. You want the entire amount of trail mix you make to have at least 1000 grams of carboyhydrates, and you want to minimize the amount of fat in the mix. What recipe for trial mix will minimize the amount of fat in the mix?

6) How much fat, protein and carbohydrates are in a cup of this mix?

7) How many calories are in a cup of this mix?

Social Security Payout. If you’re taking this course, chances are that you’re going to make a pretty good salary – especially 3 to 5 years after you graduate. When you look at your paycheck, one of the taxes you pay is called Social Security. In simplest terms, it’s a way to pay into a system and receive money back when you retire (and the longer you work and the higher your salary, the higher your monthly benefit). Interestingly, your employer will pay the same amount for you. The current tax rate is 6.2% until you make approximately $132,900. For this assignment, we’re going to help out hourly employees. Design (pseudocode) and implement (source code) a program that asks users how much they make per hour, the number of hours they work per week, and calculates the yearly income. For the second half, the program should calculate and display the amount of Social Security tax the user will pay for that year. You must write and use at least two functions in addition to the main function. At least one function must not have a void return type. Note, don’t forget to put the keywords “public” and “static” in front of your functions. Document your code and properly label the input prompt and the outputs as shown below.

Sample run 1: Enter hourly wage: 10

Enter your hours per week: 40

You will earn $20800.0 per year

You will pay $1289.6 in Social Security tax

Sample run 2: Enter hourly wage: 40

Enter your hours per week: 60

You will earn $124800.0 per year

You will pay $7737.6 in Social Security tax

In the game of Lucky Sevens, the player rolls a pair of dice. If the dots add up to 7, the player wins $4; otherwise, the player loses $1. Suppose that, to entice the gullible, a casino tells players that there are many ways to win: (1, 6), (2, 5), and soon. A little mathematical analysis reveals that there are not enough ways to win to make the game worthwhile; however, because many people's eyes glaze over at the first mention of mathematics “wins $4”.

      Your challenge is to write a program that demonstrates the futility of playing the game. Your Python program should take as input the amount of money that the player wants to put into the pot, and play the game until the pot is empty.

            The program should have at least TWO functions (Input validation and Sum of the dots of user’s two dice). Like the program 1, your code should be user-friendly and able to handle all possible user input. The game should be able to allow a user to ply as many times as she/he wants.

            The program should print a table as following:

      Number of rolls             Win or Loss                Current value of the pot

                              1                                 Put                                   $10

                    2                                           Win                                  $14

                    3                                           Loss                                 $11

                              4

                              ##                              Loss                                 $0

        You lost your money after ## rolls of play.

        The maximum amount of money in the pot during the playing is $##.

        Do you want to play again?

      At that point the player’s pot is empty (the Current value of the pot is zero), the program should display the number of rolls it took to break the player, as well as maximum amount of money in the pot during the playing.

        Again, add good comments to your program.

        Test your program with $5, $10 and $20.

Specifically answer this prompt: Have you ever experienced a time where you (as either a buyer or a seller) had more (or less) information about the quality of the product or the available prices of close substitutes to the product? Explain your situation.

One common example is: used car sales. Buyers sometimes have a lot less information than sellers about the quality of the used car.

A story from your experience about the lack of "full information" in a market you have participated in.

Write a C++ program that reads daily weather observation data from a file and writes monthly and annual summaries of the daily data to a file.

a. The daily weather data will be contained in a file named wx_data.txt, with each line of the file representing the weather data for a single day.

b. For each day, the date, precipitation amount, maximum temperature, and minimum temperature will be provided as tab-separated data with the following format: 20180101 0.02 37 23 20180102 0.00 42 18 <...data for the remainder of the year here...>

c. For the first entry in the daily data above, the date is 20180101 (1 January 2018), the precipitation amount is 0.02 inches, the maximum temperature is 37°F, and the minimum temperature is 23°F.

d. You may assume that the weather data is complete (i.e., there is data for each day of every month of the year) and that the data contains no errors.
