Case study:

Miranda Miles is a 35-year-old white female. She has a 10-year history of cigarette smoking and refuses to quit after several educational teachings from health care providers and family members. There is no history of alcohol consumption. She has been married for five years and lives with her husband and son. Miranda works at a factory and her husband is a truck driver. She was admitted on August 7th, 2020 at 1700 with complaints of joint and back pain, difficulty performing ADL’s especially in the mornings, difficulty falling asleep due to chest pain, and a fever. Upon admission, the patient’s vitals were taken and blood was drawn. Diagnostic and laboratory testing resulted in a medical diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis exacerbation.

Lab/Diagnostic Testing

Upon admission, the patient's joints were inspected and palpated to find any swelling. Findings in this patient’s case, spongy swelling has been found in knees and ankles and deformities in both hands and feet. Also, a complete blood count (CBC) was taken and white blood cells were found to be mildly elevated in response to inflammation. A synovial fluid culture will be taken as well. The synovial fluid was cloudy with elevated white blood cells. A rheumatoid factor test was also taken and results were positive. An MRI on her knee was ordered and findings include erosion of bone and destruction of cartilage which results in the patient's problem with limited range of motion and pain in knee.

(b) To compare the effectiveness of three types of weight-reducing diets, a homogeneous group of 22 women was divided into three sub-groups and each sub-group followed one of these diet plans for a period of two months. The weight reductions, in kgs, were noted as given below:

Group I

4.3

3.2

2.7

6.2

5.0

3.9

Group II

5.3

Donald and Hillary each have 10 hours of labor (L) that can be used to produce candy (C) and soup (S). Donald’s utility function is given by: Ud = C^0.3 S^0.7 and Hillary’s is: UH = C^0.5S^0.5. Neither have preferences over production. Production of each good is determined by: C = 2Lc and S = 3Ls.

(a) What must be the price ratio pc/ps be?

(b) Set the wage equal to $1. Given the above price ratio, how much C and S will Donald and Hillary demand?

(c) How should labor be allocated between the two goods to meet the demand calculated in part b)?

RHD =0.02+0.80RM+eHD

R-squared =0.6

                  RML =-0.03+1.50RM+eML

R-squared =0.4

σM =0.20

where M is S&P/TSX Comp Index and RX is the excess return of stock X.

  2. What is the systematic risk of each stock?
  3. What are the covariance and correlation coefficient between HD and ML?
  4. For portfolio P with investment proportion of 0.3 in HD and 0.7 in ML, calculate the systematic risk, non-systematic risk and total risk of P.

Some car tires can develop what is known as "heel and toe" wear if not rotated...

Some car tires can develop what is known as "heel and toe" wear if not rotated after a certain mileage. To assess this issue, a consumer group investigated the tire wear on two brands of tire, A and B, say. Fifteen cars were fitted with new brand A tires and thirteen with brand B tires, the cars assigned to brand at random. (Two cars initially assigned to brand B suffered serious tire faults other than heel and toe wear, and were excluded from the study.) The cars were driven in regular driving conditions, and the mileage at which heal and toe wear could be observed was recorded on each car. For the cars with brand A tires, the mean mileage observed was 24.9924.99 (in 103103 miles ) and the variance was 7.757.75 (in 106106 miles22). For the cars with brand B, the corresponding statistics were 32.9232.92 (in 103103 miles) and 6.476.47 (in 106106 miles22 ) respectively. The mileage before heal and toe wear is detectable is assumed to be Normally distributed for both brands.

Part a) Calculate the pooled variance s2s2 to 3 decimal places. During intermediate steps to arrive at the answer, make sure you keep as many decimal places as possible so that you can achieve the precision required in this question.  ×106×106 miles 22

Part b) Determine a 95% confidence interval for μA−μBμA−μB, the difference in the mean 103103 mileages before heal and toe wear for the two brands of tire. Leave your answer to 2 decimal places. (  ,)

Part c) Based on the 95% confidence interval constructed in the previous part, which of the following conclusions can be drawn when we test H0:μA=μBH0:μA=μB vs. Ha:μA≠μBHa:μA≠μB with α=0.05α=0.05.

A. Reject H0H0 since 0 is in the interval found in part (b).
B. Reject H0H0 since 0 is not within the interval found in part (b).
C. Do not reject H0H0 since −7.93−7.93 is within the interval found in part (b).
D. Do not reject H0H0 since 0 is not in the interval found in part (b).
E. Do not reject H0H0 since 0 is within the interval found in part (b).

Several months ago, Ayers Industries Inc. experienced a hazardous materials spill at one of its plants. As a result, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) fined the company $258,000. The company is contesting the fine. In addition, an employee is seeking $202,000 in damages related to the spill. Lastly, a homeowner has sued the company for $310,000. The homeowner lives 35 miles from the plant but believes that the incident has reduced the home’s resale value by $310,000.

Ayers’ legal counsel believes that it is probable that the EPA fine will stand. In addition, counsel indicates that an out-of-court settlement of $140,000 has recently been reached with the employee. The final papers will be signed next week. Counsel believes that the homeowner’s case is much weaker and will be decided in favor of Ayers. Other litigation related to the spill is possible, but the damage amounts are uncertain.

Your task in this exercise is to write a function called get_playlist_tracks(database_filename, which_playlist), which formulates a SELECT statement that returns track name, album title, genre name, artist name and track composer for all tracks in the database which are associated with a given playlist. This statement requires several nested INNER JOINs to pull together data from the "tracks", "albums", "genres", "artists", and "playlists" table. The default ordering of tracks should be used. The result of the function is a list of database records. The parameter which_playlist specifies a playlist in the database. You first have to check if the playlist is contained in the "playlists" table, if not an error message as indicated in the examples has to be printed and an empty list has to be returned.

Don't forget to close the database connection after you have finished accessing it!

For example:

Test Result
database_filename = 'chinook.db'
which_playlist = 'On-The-Go 1'
query_result = get_playlist(database_filename, which_playlist)

print(f"Playlist '{which_playlist}'")
for count, database_record in enumerate(query_result):
   print(f"{count:<2} Track Name: {database_record[0]}")
   print(f"   Album Title: {database_record[1]}")
   print(f"   Genre: {database_record[2]}")
   print(f"   Artist: {database_record[3]}")
   print(f"   Composer: {database_record[4]}")
Playlist 'On-The-Go 1'
0  Track Name: Now's The Time
   Album Title: The Essential Miles Davis [Disc 1]
   Genre: Jazz
   Artist: Miles Davis
   Composer: Miles Davis
database_filename = 'chinook.db'
which_playlist = 'Independent'
query_result = get_playlist(database_filename, which_playlist )

for database_record in query_result:
   print(database_record)
ERROR: Could not find playlist 'Independent' in database!
