9) A researcher has developed the following regression equation to predict the prices of luxurious Oceanside condominium units, = 40 + 0.15Size + 50View, where Price is the price of a unit (in $1,000s), Size is the square footage (in sq. feet), and View is a dummy variable taking on 1 for an ocean view unit and 0 for a bay view unit. Which of the following is the difference in predicted prices of the ocean view and bay view units with the same square footage? A) $315,000 B) $50,000 C) $265,000 D) $40,000

19) Consider the regression equation = b0 + b1xd with b1 > 0 and a dummy variable d. If d changes from 0 to 1, which of the following is true? A) The intercept increases by b0 + b1. B) The intercept increases by b1. C) The slope increases by b0 + b1. D) The slope increases by b1.

Python: Implement edit_diff using recursion, which is a diff function that returns the minimum number of edit operations needed to transform the start word into the goal word.

There are three kinds of edit operations:

Add a letter to start,

Remove a letter from start,

Substitute a letter in start for another.

Each edit operation contributes 1 to the difference between two words.

>>> big_limit = 10

>>> edit_diff("roses", "arose", big_limit) # roses -> aroses -> arose

2

>>> edit_diff("tesng", "testing", big_limit) # tesng -> testng -> testing

2

>>> edit_diff("rlogcul", "logical", big_limit) # rlogcul -> logcul -> logicul -> logical

3

If the number of edits required is greater than limit, then edit_diff should return any number larger than limit and should minimize the amount of computation needed to do so. A function that may be helpful is provided below:

def swap_diff(start, goal, limit):

"""A diff function that computes the edit distance from START to GOAL."""

if ________:

elif ________:

else:

add_diff = ... # Fill in these lines

remove_diff = ...

substitute_diff = ...

Write a Python program that calls a function to sum all the numbers in a list and returns the result to the caller. The main program creates a list (with hard-coded or user input) and passes the list as an argument to the function. You may not use the built-in function, sum.

The program calls a second function to multiply all the numbers in a list passed to it by main and returns the product back to the caller.

List can be created with user input or hard-coded elements.

The program calls a third function that takes the list of words (below) passed to it from main and determines which elements are palindromes without changing the original list.

['racecar', 'Python', 'mom', 'java','level', 'DNA','101101' ]

If true, the function appends the word to a new list and returns it to the caller. The main program prints the list of palindromes returned from the function. The function should not modify the original list passed to it from the main (no side effect).

A palindrome is a word, phrase, number or sequence of words that reads the same backward as forward

Write a Java program that uses the file EnglishWordList.txt which contains a collection of words in English (dictionary), to find the number of misspelled words in a story file called Alcott-little-261.txt. Please note that the dictionary words are all lower-cased and there are no punctuation symbols or numbers. Hence it is important that you eliminate anything other than a-z and A-Z and then lower case story words for valid comparisons against the WordList file. When you read each line of the story file as a String, use split() method to store the words per line in a String array. Then go through each word in the array to lowercase it and to eliminate all but a-z A-Z using Java regex - something like

String word = word.replaceAll(“[^a-zA-Z]”,””).toLowerCase();

Neither file can be linked, but one can use two random text files to complete this. the Alcott text file is a story, while EnglishWordList is all the words in the English dictionary. Basically this is spell check.
