Ad Critique:  Students must complete a critique of an advertisement:

• Select advertisement (print, online, tv, radio, etc.) You must be able to get a copy to the instructor or provide an on-line link.

• Write a description of the ad and an explanation of what the company was attempting to do with the ad.

• Identify the company, brand, product, or service being advertised.

• Describe how the ad was delivered (media vehicle: TV ad- CNN newscast).

• Identify the target audience.

• List the ad agency that produced the ad.

• Give your view of the ad: Did it miss its mark? How could it be improved? Was the media vehicle effective?

Having trouble finding a good technique from Operations and Supply Chain Management 14e to write about.

This assignment is designed to provide you and the other students with a better appreciation for the “real world” use of the techniques we are studying this term.

You will be expected to research and find an article that provides a “real world” application of one of the techniques that we are studying. A list of references can be found in the various bibliographies at the end of each chapter.   Journals would be a good source for an article. Some journals are Supply Chain Management Review, Production and Inventory Management, Journal of Operations Management, Informs, Interfaces, and Business Forecasting.

RECURSION - PAPERFOLDS

Concept Summary:

1. Recursion

For this assignment1 you will design a recursive method and the main program that calls the recursive method.

Description

Take a piece of paper and fold it in half. Unfold it and there is one fold, which I'll signify with a "v". If you fold the paper twice (always keeping the folds in the same direction and the creases parallel), it will have three folds when you unfold it, and they will be in a "^ v v" pattern. Fold a piece of paper three times, and you will see "^ ^ v v ^ v v" as the sequence of folds.
Folding a piece of already folded paper sounds a lot like recursion, and indeed it is. In case you can't see the algorithm, here it is:

• If you fold a paper once, the fold pattern is "v".

• For additional folds, it is the pattern you have only reversed and flipped over, then a

  "v" fold, and then the pattern you already have tacked on the end.

  Submission Guidelines:

  Turn in 1 program file that calls the recursive method from the Main program.

  Assignment:

• Write a static method, paperFold, which is a recursive routine that returns a string representing the fold pattern for a paper folded n times. The driver program that calls the paperFold () method

• Write one or more helper methods to generate a string that takes a fold sequence and returns it reversed and flipped over such that a "v ^ ^ ^" becomes a "v v v ^".
  Hint: You could write one to reverse the string and one to flip the string.

As in many recursive solutions, expect the fold method to be extremely simple (and of course recursive).

Skeleton Code

C# Version:

public static void Main (string[] args) { for(int i=1;i<5;i++)
{

string fold_string=paperfold(i);

Console.WriteLine("For "+i+" folds we get: "+fold_string+"\n"); }

}

Sample Output:

For 1 folds we get: v
For 2 folds we get: ^vv
For 3 folds we get: ^^vv^vv
For 4 folds we get: ^^v^^vvv^^vv^vv

For each of the following, explain the possible effects on demand and/or supply and equilibrium price and quantity of spiral bound notebooks using a correctly labeled supply and demand graph.

Assume the market for spiral bound notebooks is in equilibrium. All students in public schools need notebooks of some type when they attend classes. For each of the following, explain the possible effects on demand and/or supply and equilibrium price and quantity of spiral bound notebooks using a correctly labeled supply and demand graph with equilibrium price and quantity labeled. Under your hand-drawn graph, list the determinant of supply and/or demand that causes each shift as well as the change in price and quantity. You should have 8 graphs. The written answer should be set up under the graph as follows:

Price: Increase/Decrease (select one)
Quantity: Increase/Decrease (select one)
Determinant: One of the determinants for demand (TRIBE) or supply (ROTTEN) that causes the shift.

a) The price of natural gas, a resource used by manufacturers throughout the United States, doubles.
b) The government provides a subsidy for notebook manufacturers.
c) Your income increases and spiral bound notebooks are an inferior good.
d) The price of binders and paper, a substitute for spiral bound notebooks, decreases.
e) A new binding machine is invented that binds in half the time.
f) The price of all goods using paper is expected to double next month.
g) The government raises taxes on businesses at the same time that students receive their supply list for the new school year.
h) The price of pens and pencils falls dramatically.

A)Let S = {1,2,3,...,18,19,20} be the universal set.

LIST the elements in Set A and Set B: {  }

LIST the elements in Set A or Set B: {  }

B)A ball is drawn randomly from a jar that contains 4 red balls, 5 white balls, and 9 yellow balls. Find the probability of the given event. Write your answers as reduced fractions or whole numbers.

(a) PP(A red ball is drawn) =    

(b) PP(The ball drawn is NOT red) =    

(c) PP(A green ball is drawn) =  

C)

As part of a statistics project, a teacher brings a bag of marbles containing 700 white marbles and 400 red marbles. She tells the students the bag contains 1100 total marbles, and asks her students to determine how many red marbles are in the bag without counting them.

A student randomly draws 100 marbles from the bag. Of the 100 marbles, 41 are red.

The data collection method can best be described as?

• Census
• Survey or Sample
• Controlled study
• Clinical study

The target population consists of?

• The 1100 marbles in the bag
• The 41 red marbles drawn by the student
• The 100 marbles drawn by the student
• The 400 red marbles in the bag
• None of the above

The sample consists of?

• The 400 red marbles in the bag
• None of the above

Using C language

The system that you will develop holds the personal information for a number of students and the information of the course each student is registered in. The assumption is that each student is registered in a single course only. But the system will have a number of students saved.

REQUIREMENTS:

In this lab, you will introduce a simple student records system, which will save the student information as well as a single course that the student is registered in. Firstly, the system should ask the user to enter the number of students they wish to save. Then the system should start asking the user to enter each student and course information. Keep in mind that the student information is to be presented in a struct, called Student, while the course information is presented in another struct, called Course. The Student struct will have a pointer reference to the Course struct variable that has the course information. Yet, the Course struct doesn’t hold any information about the student at all. Once the user enters all students and course information, the system must print out all information entered by the user for verification.

The following is a complete list of the system requirements:

1. Define a Student struct the holds the following information about each student:

1. First name, which is a string of length 19.

2. Last Name, which is a string of length 19.

3. Student ID, which is a 5-digit number.

4. A pointer to the course student registered in.

2. Define a Course struct that holds the following information about each course:

1. Course code, which is a 7-alphanumeric string.

2. Course name, which is a string of length 24.

3. Course struct must be a type defined unnamed struct.

4. The system should ask the user for the number of students they wish to save.

5. For each student, the system should prompt the user to enter their information (i.e. student information).

6. For the student’s course, the system should prompt the user to enter the course information.

7. Once all students and their courses are entered, the system must print all their information for the user verification.

The two basic facts about the quantifiers you need to understand, and from which all of the logical properties of the quantifiers follow are:

Basic Fact 1: A universal quantifier (x) Fx is equivalent to an infinite conjunction: Fa & Fb & Fc & Fd & ........

where a, b, c, d, are the names of objects in the universe picked out by the 'x' in the universal quantifier '(x)'.

Basic Fact 2: An existential quantifier is equivalent to an infinite disjunction

Fa v Fb v Fc v Fd v ......

Expand in a two-element universe

(a) ~(x) ((Fx v Gy) v Ka)
