Notes:

Introduction
In this assignment, you’ll need to decide whether Paula Plaintiff has any legal claims arising from a series of unfortunate events. After reading the scenario, answer the questions that follow, making sure to fully explain the basis of your decision.

Paula Plaintiff is shopping at her favorite store, Cash Mart. She is looking for a new laptop, but she can’t find one she likes. Then, realizing that she is going to be late for an appointment, she attempts to leave the store, walking very fast. However, before she can leave, she is stopped by a security guard who accuses her of shoplifting. Paula, who has taken nothing, denies any wrong doing. The officer insists and takes Paula to a small room in the back of the store. The guard tells Paula that if she attempts to leave the room she will be arrested and sent to jail. At this point, the guard leaves the room. Paula is scared and waits in the room for over an hour until the manager comes in and apologizes and tells Paula that she is free to go.

About this same time, Geoffrey Golfer is hitting golf balls in his backyard. Geoffrey decides to break out his new driver and hits a golf ball out of his backyard into the Cash Mart parking lot. The golf ball hits Paula Plaintiff on the head and knocks her unconscious just as she is leaving the store.

You must turn in three java files - FoodItem.java, Order.java and MyOrder.java. In addition to these, you must include a screenshot of the output by executing the file MyOrder.java. Submissions without all these files will not be graded.

Task 1:

Design a class named FoodItem which contains the following fields:

Type of food item: Like entree, bread, soup, salad, drink or dessert to name a few

Item number: could be an alphanumeric code or just a number

Unit price: $xx.xx

You must include appropriate instance methods like constructors, getters , setters and toString for all the fields.

Task 2:

Create another class named Order which has the following fields:

Order number: It could be an alphanumeric id or numeric.

Customer Name: First and last name of the customer

Combo meal option: yes or no

DiscountAmount: If combo meal is chosen, offer a 5% discount

OrderTotal: Total bill amount

You must create the following methods for the Order class:

Constructor (s) - You may include an extra constructor that takes in the Customer name as a parameter.

Setters, getters and toString methods for the appropriate fields.

add(item,quantity) - this method adds the price of purchasing an item to the Order total.

getOrderTotal() - this method returns the total bill amount to be paid by the customer after including any discounts applicable and also a 10% sales tax on the total amount.

Task 3:

Create a class named MyOrder that displays a Menu of items available to choose from, creates an order for two different customers and reports their total bill amount. Use appropriate print statements to guide the user through the ordering process. Remember, this is the class where you are actually placing an order (action required). So, this class must contain the main method.

a) The maximum daily water level at an embankment with height 6m can be described with mean 2m and varians 1m².

Find Var(Z)

1. Assume that the cache size is 256kB, and each cache line is 64 Bytes. (10%)

(a) Construct a modified control chart with α=0.0013, assuming that if the true process

fraction nonconforming is as large as 1%, the process is unacceptable.

(b) Suppose that if the true process fraction nonconforming is as large as 1%, we would like an

acceptance control chart to detect this out-of control condition with probability 0.90.

Construct this acceptance control chart, and compare it to the chart obtained in part (a).

Foreign market entry mode – International joint venture vs. Exporting ABYZ Company is a successful Australian business. Currently, it manufactures within Australia and exports its products to overseas markets. From the perspective of ABYZ Company, discuss why the use of Exporting might be a more appropriate international foreign market entry mode than entering through a Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Greenfields approach. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of both for the company. Recommended length is approximately 250 words. (dont paste anothers need a new one)
