A team of behavioral neuroscientists wants to know whether Froot Loops or Cheerios are more rewarding for rats. Under laboratory conditions, it is trivial to train rats that they will receive a reward if they press a lever. These neuroscientists assign 15 rats to receive a Froot Loop when they press a lever and another 15 rats to receive a Cheerio when they press a lever. Over a 24-hour period, rats in the Froot Loops condition pressed the lever an average of 195.46 times with a variance of 418.63. Over the same 24-hour period, rats in the Cheerios condition pressed the lever an average of 165.88 times with a variance of 901.13.

Mr. T has a small pressing firm where he presses sesame seeds to extract sesame oil. He buys the sesame seeds from farmers who live in nearby villages and sells the sesame oil to an oil merchant in town. He produces one kilo of sesame oil from 5 kilos of sesame seeds. The firm has an oil press with the following cost figures: Price of the oil press 14 000 dollars Scrap value Life 2 000 10 years The other fixed costs of the firm are: Rent 200 dollars per month Municipal taxes 50 dollars per month 1 450 dollars per Worker month He buys the sesame seeds at a price of 50 cents (half a dollar) per kilo. He extracts 1 kilo of sesame oil from 5 kilos of sesame seeds. The maximum monthly capacity of the press is 15 tons of sesame seeds per month (or half a ton per day.) This means that the range of his monthly sesame seed utilization is between 1 ton and 15 tons. Using a range of sesame seed utilization between 1 ton per month and 15 tons per month please calculate: 1. The total fixed costs of the firm 2. The average fixed costs of the firm 3. The average variable cost of the firm 4. The total variable costs of the firm 5. The average total cost of the firm and 6. The total cost of the firm Using the information you have calculated please find out how much profit he would be making if he sold 1 ton (1 000 kilos) of sesame oil at a price of 4 dollars per kilo in the month of May 2020. Please show all calculations.

No Global variables

No goto statement

No break outside switch

Write a menu driven C program using functions and switch. Feel free to use “Empty Outlines” template from Canvas to design the functions as needed to build the code. Make sure to submit your work through Canvas. You can show me your code running in class when you are done.

The program shows following menu to the user repetitively until user selects option 3 to exit.

  1. Circle
  2. Triangle
  3. Exit

Based on the selected menu option, it asks the user for the following things -

  • Option 1 - asks for radius of a circle and then display its area in square units
  • Option 2 - asks for base and height of a triangle and then displays its area in square units.

You need to design functions such that each one accomplishes one task only. Please ask if you have any questions or need clarification about the specifications.

Area of circle = 3.14 * radius *radius

Area of triangle = 0.5 * base * height


#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
main() {

A 14-year-old boy is hospitalized for relapse of leukemia after a failed bone marrow transplant. The family has been told his condition is terminal, there is nothing more to be done except keep him comfortable. His mother is distant, uncommunicative and rarely visits. When she does, she doesn’t touch Robbie or speak to him. She sits in a recliner by the window reading novels and requesting cokes multiple times per visit. The staff calls a family meeting but the mother is conspicuously absent. Robbie’s father is frantic, demanding further treatments, regardless of low likelihood of efficacy. During the family meeting, he directs the team NOT to tell Robbie he might die, as he would lose hope. He states, “In our culture, we keep this news from patients to avoid upsetting them.”

You are the nurse. When you are alone caring for Robbie, he asks you, “Am I dying?”

How should you respond?

  1. What are the three options you could select? Cite advantages and disadvantages of each.
  2. How does the Code of Ethics and Spirituality in Nursing guide you in the virtue of truth-telling?
  3. What other considerations play a part in your response?

You should have supportive evidence by in-text citations and references noted. At least 3-5 current references need to be APA formatted.

Alex Jr. is getting frustrated as pizza delivery boy because his tips are so low. He does his best to get the pizza delivered in exactly 5 minutes; but it takes so long to take the order, prepare the pizza, cook the pizza, brick the pizza (for a nice gourmet crisp crust), and box the pizza that he can't get it delivered in under an hour. His boss asks Alex Jr. why it's taking him so long to get the pizzas from the order phase to the customer's door. What should Alex Jr. say is the cause of the long time?

Both statistical fluctuations and dependent events

Alex Jr.'s boss accepted his answer about why it was taking so long to go from order-to-door. Now the boss has set up some customer service metrics. He wants to make sure that the time from order to door is less than 1 hour at least 90% of the time. Alex Jr. told his boss that he can get deliveries completed in 7 minutes or less 90% of the time. Alex Jr. is considering:

Both statistical fluctuations and dependent events

Alex Jr.'s implements the policy of getting pizzas delivered to customers within 1 hour of an order being placed 90% of the time. He makes some changes and gets the average time it takes to go from order to Alex's hands down to 53 minutes. Alex's boss thought that since Alex said he could get pizzas delivered in 7 minutes or less 90% of the time that the changes implemented would accomplish the goal of order to door in an hour or less 90% of the time. However, Alex's boss is upset to find that instead of 90%, they're just barely getting over 50%. Alex's boss comes to him ready to fire him for not keeping true to his promise. What does Alex Jr. use as the cause of the poor service quality?

Case Study Organ Donation Charlie, a young 10 year old boy, was born with a rare...

Case Study Organ Donation Charlie, a young 10 year old boy, was born with a rare liver disease that left him unable to eat or digest food. His rare liver disease also affected his intestines, pancreas and spleen. His condition was considered terminal unless he had a transplant that would cost approximately 1 million dollars. The problem the family encountered was that his insurance (Medicaid) considered this operation to be experimental and therefore not reimbursable. Charlie’s parents summed up the families attitude regarding this by saying “Money is nothing compared to a human life”. The family fought with the government for over 2 years with no success. It wasn’t until the media got involved that the case caught the eye of a young pioneer transplant surgeon, who promised to waive his fee, and agreed to review this case. Upon review, the surgeon felt there was a small window of time for helping Charlie and that it was closing rapidly. The surgeon approached a local hospital and asked them to waive the normal $500,000 down payment for this type of surgery. The hospital declined saying that they could not afford to become a free care center and that this could risk the future of its own transplant program. In a sudden turn of events, Medicaid finally decided to pay for the operation. At first the team could not find a hospital to perform the operation for the limited Medicaid fee but finally found a local teaching hospital that agreed to do it. It took 6 weeks to find a donor. The 16 hour surgery was performed and Charlie received a new liver, small and large intestine, pancreas and spleen. It turned out to be the first five organ transplant performed. Although Charlie faced a number of set backs after the surgery, he returned home to eat solid food for the first time. He turned out to be the first child to survive a multiple organ transplant beyond 6 months.

Questions: 1. What are the ethical issues in this case? 2. Is it right to give five organs to one person when five others could possibly benefit? 3. Is it right for the media to intervene in situations like this? Why or why not? 4. What is your reaction to the statement from the first hospital who did not want to perform the surgery as they did not want to become a free care center and jeopardize their own transplant program?
