Here is another infectious disease model. Once a person becomes
infected, the time X, in days, until the person becomes infectious
(can pass on the disease) can be modeled as a Weibull random
variable with density function
f(x,α,β) = (α/βα)xα−1e−(x/β)α
for 0 ≤ x ≤ ∞ and 0 otherwise with α = 3.7 and
β = 7.1
α is the shape parameter and β is the scale
parameter. Hint: Solve this with the built-in R functions for the
Weibull distribution (dweibull(),pweibull(), qweibull()) not f as
defined above. Otherwise you may get intermediate values too large
to use. For a) and b) the text (and notes) give formulas for the
answers. You can calculate from these formulas. Note that these
formulas use the gamma function. Γ(α) is the gamma
function. In R, there is a built-in function gamma() which
calculates this.
a) What is the expected value of X?
b) What is the variance of X?
c) What is the standard deviation of X?
d) What is the probability that X is larger than its expected
value?
e) What is the probability that X is > 2?
f) What is the probability that X is > 4?
g) What is the probability that X > 4 given that X > 2?
h) Calculate the 70th percentile of X

Determine the positive real root of ln(x^2)=0.8 by the following methods. (Note that you need to show the details of your derivations in MATLAB).
a) Graphically ( plot the function and copy your figure to word).
b) Using two iterations of the bisection method with initial guesses of xl=0.4 and xu=2 and populate the following table. What is the root after two iterations? Provide justification for the values you have obtained in your MATLAB code as comments.
i xl xu xr
1 0.4 2
2
c) Using two iterations of the false position method, with the same initial guesses as in b) and populate the table below. What is the root after two iterations? Provide justification for the values you have obtained in your MATLAB code as comments.
i xl xu xr
1 0.4 2
2
d) Compute the actual root of the function (use a built in MATLAB function) and identify which method (bisection or false position) achieves a better estimate of the root after two iterations. Prove your answer by calculating the True Percentage Error ( Assume that your answer in part d, obtained using the MATLAB Built in Function is the true value ). ALL Calculations must be performed in MATLAB.

This question demonstrates the use of inheritance and
polymorphism.
Design a Ship class that has the following members:
• A field for the name of the ship (a string).
• A field for the year that the ship was built (a string).
• A constructor and appropriate accessors and mutators.
• A toString method that overrides the toString method in the
Object class. The Ship class
toString method should display the ship’s name and the year it was
built.
Design a CruiseShip class that extends the Ship class. The
CruiseShip class should have the following members:
• A field for the maximum number of passengers (an int).
• A constructor and appropriate accessors and mutators.
• A toString method that overrides the toString method in the base
class. The CruiseShip class’s
toString method should display only the ship’s name and the maximum
number of passengers.
Design a CargoShip class that extends the Ship class. The CargoShip
class should have the following members:
• A field for the cargo capacity in tonnage (an int).
• A constructor and appropriate accessors and mutators.
• A toString method that overrides the toString method in the base
class. The CargoShip class’s
toString method should display only the ship’s name and the ship’s
cargo capacity.
Demonstrate the classes in a program that has a Ship array. Assign
various Ship, CruiseShip, and CargoShip objects to the array
elements. The program should then step through the array and print
each object.

Create a new class named MyCharacterListTools that provides the API shown below.
This class does not need a constructor nor will any user-defined constructor be called by the
provided code in MainClassQ1.java.
◦ MyLinkedList createCharacterList(String str) – This method is to
return a MyLinkedList whose data items are the characters of str. All of the
characters must appear in the list and in the same order as they are given in str.
◦ void removeNonLetters(MyLinkedList list) – This method is to remove
from the list any spaces, numbers and punctuation characters (this is to be done inplace).
Letters of the alphabet are to be left in the list in the same order they were given.
For example, if the list contained {H_e_l_l_o_ _W_o_r_l_d_!} then after calling this
function, the list would hold {H_e_l_l_o_W_o_r_l_d}. You may use the built-in Java
static method Character.isLetter(char ch) to test whether the list items are
letters.
◦ boolean testEquality(MyLinkedList l1, MyLinkedList l2) – This
method is to compare two MyLinkedLists for equality. Two lists are considered
equal if their contents are the same and in the same order. Letter case should not be
observed (i.e. 'A' is equal to 'a', 'B' is equal to 'b', etc...). If the two lists are equal then
return true. Return false otherwise. The static built-in Java methods
Character.toLowerCase(char ch) and Character.toUpperCase(char
ch) may be used in this method.

Barcelona Machine Tools. Oriol D'ez Miguel S.R.L., a manufacturer of heavy duty machine tools near Barcelona, ships an order to a buyer in Jordan. The purchase price is
€422,000. Jordan imposes a 14% import duty on all products purchased from the European Union. The Jordanian importer then re-exports the product to a Saudi Arabian importer, but only after imposing its own resale fee of 28%.
Given the following spot exchange rates on April 11, 2010, what is the total cost to the Saudi Arabian importer in Saudi Arabian riyal, and what is the U.S. dollar equivalent of that price? (Click on the

Prepare a schedule showing the amortization of a $12,000 loan to be repaid in 10 end-of-year installments that include interest at a rate of 6%. Jared and Courtney Jill own a parcel of fertile farm land which a local farmer has offered to rent for a period of 10 years. He is willing to make a payment of $20,000 today or pay an ordinary annuity of $3,400 at the end of each of the next 10 years. Which payment method should Jared and Courtney accept if the appropriate rate of return is 9%? A group of five faculty members at a Midwest University have recently purchased several acres near the school. They plan to gravel it and rent the parking spaces to commuting students. The cost of the project is $100,000. They paid $25,000 cash and are financing the balance with a note at 7.0% annual interest to be paid off in five equal annual payments with the first payment to be made at the end of the first year. The rental receipts are to be placed in an account for future improvements and cannot be used to repay the loan. If the annual payments are shared equally, how much would each member need to contribute annually to pay off the loan?

Dear Colleague, Earlier today I built my seventh website using
HTML5, CSS3, and Bootstrap4. Bootstrap seems amazing, but it never
did what it should do – make my website look better. Also, my page
should have a blue theme that was provided in the CSS folder. This
also didn’t work. My website is supposed to look like what is shown
in Figure 1 (see below). Someone told me that there are exactly 10
errors on index.html, 10 errors on contact.html, and 10 errors on
events.html. Yes, 30 errors total! Can you help me find all of the
errors? Hint: You should not add ANY LINES to the code. There will
never be more than one error per line number.

Fruit flies, like almost all other living organisms, have built-in circadian rhythms that keep time even in the absence of external stimuli. Several genes have been shown to be involved in internal timekeeping, including per (period) and tim (timeless). Mutations in these two genes, and in other genes, disrupt timekeeping abilities. Interestingly, these genes have also been shown to be involved in other time-related behavior, such as the frequency of wingbeats in male courtship behaviors. Individuals that carry particular mutations of per and tim have been shown to copulate for longer than individuals that have neither mutation. But do these two mutations affect copulation time in similar ways? The following table summarizes some data on the duration of copulation for flies that carry either the tim mutation or the per mutation (Beaver and Giebultowicz 2004):
| Mutation | Mean copulation duration (min) | Standard deviation of copulation duration | Sample size, n |
| per | 17.5 | 3.37 | 14 |
| tim | 19.9 | 2.47 | 17 |
b) Do the populations carrying these mutations have different variances in copulation duration? Enter the calculated F-value.
c) Do the populations carrying these mutations have different variances in copulation duration? Finish this hypothesis test and describe your conclusion.
