In C++, create a function exchangesl that takes an argument of an array of integers ( for C++ use implement void exchangesl(vector<int>& a) . Those integers need to be changed so that the smallest and largest values in the array are exchanged. Assume that there is at least one element, if the largest value occurs more than once then exchange the first instance, if the smallest value happens more than once then exchange the last instance.

Use the following file:

Tester.cpp

#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void exchangesl(vector<int>&);

void print(vector<int> v)
{
   for (int i = 0; i < v.size(); i++)
   {
      if (i == 0) cout << "["; else cout << ", ";
      cout << v[i];
   }
   cout << "]" << endl;
}

main()
{
   vector<int> a = { 1, 9, -1, 4, -1, 6, 11, 8 };
   exchangesl(a);
   print(a);
   cout << "Expected: [1, 9, -1, 4, 11, 6, -1, 8]" << endl;

   vector<int> b = { 1, 9, -1, 4, -1, 6, 11, 8, 9, -1 };
   exchangesl(b);
   print(b);
   cout << "Expected: [1, 9, -1, 4, -1, 6, -1, 8, 9, 11]" << endl;
   
   vector<int> c = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 };
   exchangesl(c);
   print(c);
   cout << "Expected: [1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2, 5]" << endl;     
}

a. Use an appropriate test to evaluate whether the number of prey eaten differs among three habitat types. Assume the data are normally distributed.

b. If habitat type affects the number of prey eaten, determine which habitats differ from which others.

c. Evaluate the same hypothesis, but now assume that the data are not distributed normally (You don’t need to determine which habitats differ from which others for this question)

1) State all relevant hypotheses (nulls and alternatives).

2) State which test was used and why you used it.

3) State conclusions after completing your analyses.

Pacific Healthcare is an investor-owned hospital chain that owns and operates nine hospitals in Washington, Oregon, and Northern California. You are a recent graduate of a prominent healthcare administration program and have just been hired by Washington Medical Center, Pacific’s largest hospital. Like all new management personnel, you must undergo three months of intensive training at the system level before joining the hospital. You begin by examining Pacific’s annual report to get some basic financial data. You search Yahoo! Finance, CNNMoney, Bloomberg, and MSN Money for current market data as well as analysts’ forecasts for Pacific Healthcare and the market. You discover that Pacific’s stock is currently selling for $8 per share, current dividend is $0.48 per share (paid on December 31, 2019), and the beta coefficient is 1.2. In addition, you learn that the yield on long-term Treasury bonds is 5.0 percent and that a market return of 11 percent is expected. Most analysts forecast that Pacific will grow about 10 percent per year for the next five years (2020-2024) and 4 percent per year thereafter (2025 and beyond). Based on these growth forecasts, you assembled the forecast dividends per share, as shown in the below exhibit. -

Historical Year/Dividends per share 2014/$0.215; 2015/$0.324; 2016/$0.353; 2017/$0.362; 2018/$0.391; 2019/$0.480

Forecast Year/Dividend per Share 2020/$0.528; 2021/$0.581; 2022/$0.639; 2023/$0.703; 2024/$0.773; 2025/$0.804; 2026/$0.836

Excel Problem (Answers to highlighted cells): If investors estimate that Pacific Healthcare will grow about 10 percent per year for the next five years (2020-2024), what constant growth rate (2025+) are they using to price the stock? (Hint: what constant growth rate (2025+) produces an actual December 31, 2019 stock price of $8?)

1. Your client will make annual payments of $2,500 into a fund at the close of each year. She has asked you how many $2,500 annual payments will be required to bring the fund to $22,500 assuming that the fund earns interest at 10% compounded annually. Compute the total number of full payments of $2,500 required and the amount of the final payment if it does not require the entire $2,500.

Number of full payments:

Amount of last payment: $ (Round to the nearest dollar.)

2. Your client wishes to provide for the payment of an obligation of $200,000 due on July 1, 2026. He plans to deposit $20,000 in a special fund each July 1 for 7 years starting July 1, 2020. He wishes to make an initial deposit on July 1, 2019, of an amount that, with its accumulated interest, will bring the fund up to $200,000 at the maturity of the obligation. He expects that the fund will earn interest at the rate of 10% compounded annually. Compute the amount to be deposited July 1, 2019.

You are the production manager at a parachute manufacturing company. Parachutes are woven in your factory using a synthetic fiber purchased from 1 of 4 different suppliers. The factory uses 2 types of looms, the Athenian and the Spartan. You are concerned about the consistency of parachute strength, so you measure the strength for 5 parachutes made with each of the 4 fiber suppliers, using each of the 2 looms.

Perform an ANOVA with these data for main effects and interaction effects.
Use Minitab software to find the solution.

A 1948 study in Biometrika investigated the effects of several different diets on the weight of chickens. In this study, chickens were randomly assigned to one of several different groups, and each group of chickens received a different type of feed. The data provided represent a subset of data from this study and show the weights (in grams) of chickens receiving the sunflower, linseed, soybean, and meatmeal feeds.

Use software to conduct an analysis of variance (ANOVA) ?‑test to test the claim that the mean weights of chickens receiving sunflower, linseed, soybean, and meatmeal are equal. What are the ?‑statistic and ?-value for this test? Please round your ?‑statistic to the nearest two decimal places and your ?-value to the nearest five decimal places.
