How would you answer the following question:

Next Wednesday's meeting has been moved forward two days. What day is the meeting now that it has been rescheduled?

This question is ambiguous as "moved forward" can be interpreted in two different ways. Did you answer Monday or Friday? The authors of the paper "Even Abstract Motion Influences the Understanding of Time" (Metaphor and Symbol [2011]: 260–271) wondered if the answers Monday and Friday would be provided an equal proportion of the time. A sample of students at Stanford University were asked this question, and the responses are summarized in the following table.

Response Frequency
Monday 11
Friday 33

The authors of the paper used a chi-squared goodness-of-fit test to test the null hypothesis

H0: p1 = 0.50, p2 = 0.50,

where p1 is the proportion who would respond Monday and p2 is the proportion who would respond Friday. They reported

χ2 = 11.00

and

P-value < 0.001.

What conclusion can be drawn from this test?

Since the P-value is small, there is convincing evidence to conclude that the population proportions of people who respond "Monday" and "Friday" are equal.

Since the P-value is large, there is not enough evidence to conclude that the population proportions of people who respond "Monday" and "Friday" are not equal.   

Since the P-value is small, there is convincing evidence to conclude that the population proportions of people who respond "Monday" and "Friday" are not equal.

Since the P-value is small, there is not enough evidence to conclude that the population proportions of people who respond "Monday" and "Friday" are not equal.

Show all work done for calculations, starting with an equation whenever possible, and include all units....

Show all work done for calculations, starting with an equation whenever possible, and include all units. If asked to explain, give a brief response (1-2 complete sentences).

For full credit on FBDs and N2L expressions, follow the guidelines in the topic summary on FBDs.

Invent unique, concrete situations for each of the four cases below.

• Describe each situation clearly and concretely in 1-2 sentences.

• Make a complete free-body diagram showing the forces acting on the object you've chosen.

• Write out a complete N2L expression for each axis

◦ none of the final N2L expressions should contain “Fnet x” or “Fnet y”, and should include an “ma” term only if the object is accelerating parallel to a given axis.

For your invented situations, the key words are unique and concrete: don't copy from examples or assigned problems; name a specific object (car, refrigerator, basketball, …) for each case and use that name to describe what's happening to it (or what it's doing), rather than abstract words like "object" or "body". Also name forces specifically (e.g., “static friction” and “FS” rather than “friction” and “FF”).

a) Three forces act on an object, each one of a different type.

b) Four forces act on an object, each one of a different type.

c) Four forces act on an object; two are of the same type, but exerted by different objects.

d) Five forces act on an object; no more than two can be of the same type.

  1. Static Stack Template In this chapter you studied IntStack, a class that implements a static stack of integers. Write a template that will create a static stack of any data type. Demonstrate the class with a driver program.
  2. Dynamic Stack Template In this chapter you studied DynIntStack, a class that implements a dynamic stack of integers. Write a template that will create a dynamic stack of any data type. Demonstrate the class with a driver program.
  3. Static Queue Template In this chapter you studied IntQueue, a class that implements a static queue of integers. Write a template that will create a static queue of any data type. Demonstrate the class with a driver program.
  4. Dynamic Queue Template In this chapter you studied DynIntQueue, a class that implements a dynamic queue of integers. Write a template that will create a dynamic queue of any data type. Demonstrate the class with a driver program.
  5. Error Testing The DynIntStack and DynIntQueue classes shown in this chapter are abstract data types using a dynamic stack and dynamic queue, respectively. The classes do not currently test for memory allocaton errors. Modify the classes so they determine if new nodes cannot be created, and handle the error condition in an appropriate way. (You will need to catch the predefined exception bad_alloc.)

Note: If you have already done Programming Challenges 2 and 4, modify the templates you created.

6. Dynamic String Queue Design a class that stores strings on a dynamic queue. The strings should not be fixed in length. Demonstrate the class with a driver program.

LP1 Assignment: Milestone 1: International Expansion

This assignment will assess competency

1. Build effective global and international linkages for multinational organizations.

Directions

The company you work for is expanding internationally in the near future. A team of employees, which you are a part, have been given the task of evaluating one developed (not the U.S.), one emerging and one developing country for possible expansion. You will pick three countries this week, using the Dow Jones Indexes, and begin the process of evaluation. Choose three countries in which you have an interest – do not focus on finding the best choice (remember there is an entire team doing the same process in other countries). There is every possibility that by the end of the process (i.e., the end of class) your country recommendations will be not chosen for expansion, and that is fine. We are completing our due diligence on all the choices at hand. This week you will look at the political, legal and technological ramifications of your three countries. You will write up, for each country, all the pros and cons of the choice of each country based on your readings of the first three chapters of your text, the CIA World Factbook and the AIB Global Edge, plus other research from other sources. The expectation would be for a minimum of two pages per country. You will follow APA (6th edition) formatting (no abstract is required for this milestone) with title and reference pages, indented paragraphs and a minimum of four APA formatted references and associated in-text citations. This information, and that of the following LPs, will become part of your final project artefact.
