You might think that if you looked at the first digit in randomly selected numbers that the distribution would be uniform. Actually, it is not! Simon Newcomb and later Frank Benford both discovered that the digits occur according to the following distribution: (digit, probability)


(1,0.301),(2,0.176),(3,0.125),(4,0.097),(5,0.079),(6,0.067),(7,0.058),(8,0.051),(9,0.046)(1,0.301),(2,0.176),(3,0.125),(4,0.097),(5,0.079),(6,0.067),(7,0.058),(8,0.051),(9,0.046)

The IRS currently uses Benford's Law to detect fraudulent tax data. Suppose you work for the IRS and are investigating an individual suspected of embezzling. The first digit of 177 checks to a supposed company are as follows:

Digit 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Observed
Frequency
53 20 19 21 11 16 17 9 11


a. State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for this test.


b. Explain why ?=0.01?=0.01 is an appropriate choice for the level of significance in this situation.

c. What is the P-Value? Report answer to 4 decimal places
P-Value =  

d. What is your decision?

Reject the Null Hypothesis

Fail to reject the Null Hypothesis



e. Write a statement to the law enforcement officials that will use it to decide whether to pursue the case further or not. Structure your essay as follows:

Given a brief explanation of what a Goodness of Fit test is.
Explain why a Goodness of Fit test should be applied in this situation.
State the hypotheses for this situation.  
Interpret the answer to part c.
Use the answer to part c to justify the decision in part d.
Use the decision in part d to make a conclusion about whether the individual is likely to have embezzled.
Use this to then tell the law enforcement officials whether they should pursue the case or not.

Description of the Assignment: Write a Python program to create a deque and append few elements to the left and right, then remove some elements from the left, right sides and reverse the deque.

Please use the following comments in your python script:

# *************************************************
# COP3375
# Student's full name ( <<< your name goes here)
# Week 9: Assignment 1
# *************************************************

# Write your code below:

# Create a deque

# Print a deque

# Append to the left

# Print a deque

# Append to the right

# Print a deque

# Remove from the right

# Print a deque

# Remove from the left

# Print a deque

# Reverse the dequeue

# Print a deque

Sample Output - Your output should look like something similar to the following:

deque(['Red', 'Green', 'White'])

Adding to the left:
deque(['Pink', 'Red', 'Green', 'White'])

Adding to the right:
deque(['Pink', 'Red', 'Green', 'White', 'Orange'])

Removing from the right:
deque(['Pink', 'Red', 'Green', 'White'])

Removing from the left:
deque(['Red', 'Green', 'White'])

Reversing the deque:
deque(['White', 'Green', 'Red'])

What is Healthcare Informatics?

What is Information Systems?

What is Data Mining?

Take a moment and share your personal takeaway from one of this week’s videos. What did you learn that you didn't already know? How might this new knowledge benefit you in your practice? Perform a literature review to find support for your position.

Your comments are to include an APA in-text citations and a Reference List. Source material is to be integrated into the comments. Comments are to use sources found from a literature review, not solely textbooks for the course.

Please limit the comment section of your answer to 250 words or less. Respond to at least one classmate’s post that you find particularly compelling and explain why.

Please Use R studio to answer the question. This is the Statistics section of Comparing Groups.

One month before the election, a poll of 630 randomly selected votes showed 54% planning to vote for a certain candidate. A week later, it became known that he had had an extramarital affair, and a new poll showed only 51% of 1010 voters supporting him. Do these results indicate a decrease in voter support fo his candidacy?

a) Test an appropriate hypothesis as state your conclusion.

b) If you concluded there was a difference, estimate that difference with a confidence interval and interpret your interval in context.
