A political researcher needs to gauge the current voter sentiment for the viability of building a border wall so that her boss (a Senator) can then decide on how to vote for a planned border wall funding bill. She obtains a list of 2,500 email addresses from an internet provider. These addresses are from zip codes that reside within the Senator’s district. She then uses Excel’s “RAND” formula to randomly select 1000 of these email addresses. This then serves as her sample. She sends an email to these 1000 people and requests that they respond to her questions via email. Do you think that the group of people who respond is likely to be representative of all registered voters in the district? Why or why not? Can the Senator rely on the results of this process to accurately inform how we should vote on the spending bill? Explain your answers.

Suppose that South Africa and Japan are major trading partners, and that capital flows occur between the two countries. The currency in South Africa is the South African Rand (R) and the currency in Japan is the Japanese Yen (¥). Assume that the equilibrium exchange rate in South Africa is 0.1R per ¥. Now suppose that (ceteris paribus) the cost of borrowing rises in Japan.

a. Using TWO separate graphs of the South African foreign exchange market, with each graph showing a different possible shift that could occur in that particular forex market, show how the equilibrium exchange rate might change.  Label your graphs fully and briefly explain the reason for your shifts.

a. b. Now mirror your explanation in TWO SEPARATE GRAPHS of the Japanese forex market. Label your graphs fully and briefly explain the reason for your shifts.

Underline Electronics had a free cash flow for FY 2018 of $2,150 (all amounts are in $000). Rand McDandy, CEO, projected a free cash flow growth of 3% per years for the next 5 fiscal years (FY2019 - FY2023). Beginning at the end of FY2023, free cash flow was expected to slow grow at only .5% in perpetuity. McDandy expected Underline Electronics cost of capital to remain constant at 6.12% until the end of the beginning of FY2024 at which point he projected the cost of capital to lower and remain at 4.25% in perpetuity. Considering this forecast he asked his CFO (you) to determine the fair market value (NPV) of the company. Choose the best answer from the list of options below. For this question consider FY2019 as Year 1 and FY2023 as Year 5.

You can generate a random number in C using the following code: int myRandomNumber; srand(time(NULL)); // seed the random number generator myRandomNumber = rand(); // each time you call this function there will be a different random number. Generate a random number, and output it. Use if statements to determine if the number is odd or even, and output a message to that effect. Similarly, output if the number is divisible by 3, and if it is divisible by 10. Use the % operator to achieve this. Run the program, and print the results several times using different numbers to be sure that it’s working. Hint: In C you can not declare variables after you write executable code. For example if you call the srand function, and then declare some more variables after that call, the program will not compile. The compiler messages are not very helpful. Put all the variable declarations at the top of the function.

1. Create a program that generates n values in range [low, high].

• Create a function generate_vals which takes as input an array of double values and three integers representing the size of the array, low value of range, and high value of range, respectively. The function should use rand() to generate the requested number of values.

• Prompt the user to enter the size of their array as shown below. It cannot exceed a maximum size of 128. If it does, set the size equal to 128 and continue with the program.

• Prompt the user to enter a low and high value as shown below. These values will be used to limit the range that each generated number can be.

• Print the generated values such that it matches the format below.

Example Run:

Enter size: 8

Enter low value: 9

Enter high value: 18

16.05, 16.19, 17.20, 10.78, 12.02, 15.91, 11.50, 13.99

In C++ Computers are playing an increasing role in education.
Write a program that will help an elementary school student learn multiplication. Use rand() to
produce two positive single digit integers. It should then display a question in the following format
(assume 6 and 7 are randomly generated):
How much is 6 * 7?
The student then types the answer. Your program checks the student’s answer. If it is correct, print
“Very good!” If the answer is wrong, print “No. Please try again.” and then let the student
try the same question again repeatedly until the student finally gets it right. If the number of
incorrect exceeds five, the program should leave the question, display “Let’s try another
one!” and ask a different question. After every answer, the program should ask whether the user
wants to continue the program and based on the response, the program should be continued or
terminated.

Decision Scenario 3 ?I don?t want no more children,? Mrs. Hinson said. ?I?ve already got five, and I can?t look after them the way they should be looked after. My husband?s been gone three years. I don?t know where he is, but I know he ain?t coming back.? After two years as a psychiatric social worker, David Rossum found Mrs. Hinson?s agitation familiar. He looked around the small living room. It was clean but crowded with second-hand furniture. Cheap dime-store metal frames lined the tope of the television set. Children smiled in the blurry color snapshots. ?You?re sure you?re pregnant?? Rossum asked. ?The doctor at the clinic told me so,? Mrs. Hinson said. ?He gave me a paper to prove it. But I?m already on welfare and the ADC. I can?t do right by my children if I have another one to take care of.? ?And you can?t count on the father of this child to help you?? ?I can?t count on him for nothing,? said Mrs. Hinson. ?I don?t even see him anymore.? ?So what do you want to do?? Rossum asked. He knew the answer, but the main part of his job was just listening. ?I want an abortion. That?s what I want. But the people at the clinic, they told me I?d have to talk to you people first. If you won?t say it?s okay they won?t do it, because there won?t be nobody to pay for it.? ?That?s right,? Rossum said. ?You?ve got to have an authorization from our agency for any kind of special medical procedure of a nonemergency kind.? Mrs. Hinson already has five children and wants no more. She has not seen her husband for years and she is now pregnant by another man. She can no count on him for any support. She is already receiving public assistance. She wants government to provide her with an abortion. Should her abortion be approved? Is the abortion a morally correct act? How would someone respond to this question using the ethical principles of: Kantian
