Next, separate the participants into two groups by using range matching (decide on your acceptable ranges in advance, for example, within 5 pounds).

a.)Match as many pairs of female participants as possible: find a match and randomly assign one to the first group, and the other to the second group. Next, do the same for the male participants.

b.)Next, match not only on gender, but also on weight.

c.)Finally, match the participants on all three variables.

3.) Finally, match the 40 participants on gender, weight, and height, using rank-ordered matching.

40 Participants to be matched:

Our next optimization comes from using the brilliant Rabin-Karp substring matching algorithm (RK for short), invented in the eighties by two famous computer scientists, Michael Rabin and Richard Karp 3. RK checks if a given query string P appears as a substring in Y. At a high level, RK works by computing a hash for the query string, hash(P ), as well as a hash for each of the n − k + 1substrings of length k in Y, hash(Y...

Your friend Harold is trying to decide whether to buy or lease his next vehicle. He has gathered information about each option but is not sure how to compare the alternatives. Purchasing a new vehicle will cost $34,500, and Harold expects to spend about $1,300 per year in maintenance costs. He would keep the vehicle for five years and estimates that the salvage value will be $13,700. Alternatively, Harold could lease the same vehicle for five years at a cost...
