We usually write numbers in decimal form (or base 10), meaning numbers are composed using 10 different “digits” {0,1,…,9}.{0,1,…,9}. Sometimes though it is useful to write numbers hexadecimal or base 16. Now there are 16 distinct digits that can be used to form numbers: {0,1,…,9,A,B,C,D,E,F}.{0,1,…,9,A,B,C,D,E,F}. So for example, a 3 digit hexadecimal number might be 2B8.

How many 3-digit hexadecimals are there in which the first digit is E or F?

How many 4-digit hexadecimals start with a letter (A-F) and end with a numeral (0-9)?

How many 4-digit hexadecimals start with a letter (A-F) and end with a numeral (0-9)?

In a recent survey, 43 students reported whether they liked their potatoes Mashed, French-fried, or Twice-baked. 24 liked them mashed, 23 liked French fries, and 12 liked twice baked potatoes. Additionally, 11 students liked both mashed and fried potatoes, 9 liked French fries and twice baked potatoes, 10 liked mashed and baked, and 2 liked all three styles. How many students hate potatoes? Explain why your answer is correct.

How many positive integers less than 975 are multiples of 8, 7, or 9? Use the Principle of Inclusion/Exclusion.

We want to build 5 letter “words” using only the first n=12n=12 letters of the alphabet. For example, if n=5n=5 we can use the first 5 letters, {a,b,c,d,e}{a,b,c,d,e} (Recall, words are just strings of letters, not necessarily actual English words.)

1. How many of these words are there total?
2. How many of these words contain no repeated letters?
3. How many of these words start with the sub-word “ade”?
4. How many of these words either start with “ade” or end with “be” or both?
5. How many of the words containing no repeats also do not contain the sub-word “bed”?

THIS ASSIGNMENT MUST BE DONE IN C++ 17 AND MUST FOLLOW EACH GUIDELINE LISTED BELOW.

INSTRUCTIONS START HERE:

Our satisfied clients are back to ask us to implement another interactive dictionary. Our dictionary takes input from users and uses the input as search key to look up values associated with the key. Requirements:

- Coding: No hard coding

- Data Source: a text file, Data.CS.SFSU.txt -

Data Structure: Use existing data structure(s) or create new data structure(s) to store our dictionary’s data. Each keyword, each part of speech, and each definition must be stored in a separate data field. Do not combine them such as storing three parts in one String.

- Data Loading: When our program starts, it loads all the original data from the data source into our dictionary’s data structure. The data source file is opened once and closed once per run. It must be closed as soon as possible. It must be closed before our program starts interacting with users.

- User Interface: A program interface allows users to input search keys. This interface then displays returned results. Our program searches the dictionary’s data (not the data source text file) for values associated with the search keys.

- Identical Output: Our program’s output must be identical to the complete sample run’s output: ASMT02_PC_Run.pdf 1. Program Analysis to Program Design, 10 points In 1 full page, please explain the following in detail: ▪ Your analysis of the provided information and the provided sample output.

IT WILL BE FORMATTED DIFFERENTLY IN YOUR IDE BUT THE CONTENT MUST INCLUDE ^^

You must answer the two problem-type questions below, using the ILAC (Issues, Law, Application, Conclusion) format, a worked example of which is in the Resources folder. Please note that the word limit of 2 000 words is a total for both questions (ie, it is not 2 000 words for each question). This is a firm limit - assignments with greater than 2 000 words will lose 1 mark for excessive length. I would however expect that students should be able to answer both questions in far less than 2 000 words. Your bibliography is not included in the word limit but in-text references are. **In this subject, assignments are marked on-line, using an adapted MS Word programme. You therefore MUST submit your assignment in Word format, NOT as a PDF document. If you submit in PDF it will not be able to be marked.

** Question 1 Road Measuring Professionals is a surveying firm based in Newcastle, NSW. Its major client is the New South Wales government, for whom it surveys roads that are under construction. Smith, Jones and Peters have been partners in the firm for some time. There is an agreement between them limiting the authority of the partners to contracts up to $ 10 000. Smith has often purchased surveying equipment on behalf of the firm from Sydney Engineering Supplies, dealing with its manager, Mary. Smith buys a surveying instrument costing $ 11 000 from Mary. It is delivered on 5 June, and the firm receives an invoice for the contracted amount. Smith has always wanted the firm to branch into road transportation, as he is also a qualified truck driver, but his partners have continually rejected such a move. Hoping to demonstrate to them the profitable nature of such work, Smith signs a contract on behalf of the firm to buy an old truck from Used Trucks Ltd for $ 8 500. The firm has received an invoice for the truck, which is due to be delivered on 6 June. Jones and Peters are angry when they see the invoices, and have told both Mary and Used Trucks Ltd that the firm will not pay them. Advise Mary and Used Tricks Ltd as to their legal position, citing relevant law.

Question 2 David Bradbury used to run a second-hand car yard as a sole trader. However, as part of a sentence for fraud imposed by a court two years ago, David was prohibited from “buying and selling new or used vehicles” for a period of five years. Breach of this order is prosecutable as contempt of court. David is however desperate to go into business again. He hears that a good opportunity exists to start a second-hand car dealership in a suburb of Sydney. He also hears that a vacant lot is available for lease. Because several other businesses are eager to lease it, he rushes to the owner of the site, Cenvest Real Estate Ltd, and signs a 1-year lease for $ 50 000 on 5 January. Occupation of the premises and payment of the $ 50 000 are due to take place on 1 February. He signs the lease “David Bradbury, as Managing Director, Sydney Auto Group Pty Ltd”. On 10 January he goes to ASIC and registers Sydney Auto Group Pty Ltd. On the ASIC documentation he is listed as sole shareholder and as Managing Director. Sydney Auto Group Pty Ltd starts trading the next day, operating from David’s back yard, buying two old Mercedes cars and selling them to vintage car collectors a few days later. All contracts are signed “David Bradbury, as Managing Director, Sydney Auto Group Pty Ltd.” On 15 January, David decides that the company needs extra capital, and so his three brothers, Christopher, Anthony and Richard each contribute $ 70 000 to the business in exchange for shares and a position on the board. When the board first meets on 17 January, Christopher is elected Managing Director. At the meeting Christopher, Anthony and Richard say that $ 50 000 is too much for the lease and decide that the company should lease a different lot for $ 30 000. They send a letter to Cenvest Real Estate Ltd stating that Sydney Auto Group Pty Ltd refuses to move its business to the vacant lot and refuse to pay the $ 50 000. David is facing prosecution for contempt of court and has been sued for breach of contract by Cenvest Real Estate Ltd. Advise him on his legal position, citing relevant legal authority.

a. Please relate the "Storytelling with Data" principles on color, font, and overall visual design to financial model design. Please post thoughts on presentation and communication styles, whether text or graphics are more effective, and for which audiences this might be true.

Note: please consider:

- Which colors might be appropriate/inappropriate to use in corporate finance model building.
- How the principles translate into building models in Excel or Word for financial reporting purposes.

Please read the Visual and Statistical Thinking and explain what Edward Tufte means by these concluding words:

b. Visual representations of evidence should be governed by principles of reasoning about quantitative evidence. For information displays, design reasoning must correspond to scientific reasoning. Clear and precise seeing becomes as one with clear and precise thinking."

c. Please provide your understanding of 5 rules of data visualization

Your responses must be original and based on your own words.

The CPU within a computer system employs a split cache system in which the separate instruction and data caches are fully associative. A program runs on this system and writes to a memory mapped register that triggers an I/O device to begin writing a 32-bit value directly into memory at address 0x04CA0000 using DMA and bypassing the cache. The value first written by the device is 0x00001234 and every second thereafter the I/O device writes a new value (= old value + 1) to the same location. Assume that address 0x04CA0000 and the memory mapped device register are the only two data items referenced in memory.

After triggering the I/O device to start writing, the program enters a loop in which it reads the contents of the word at address 0x04CA0000. The loop is repeated once every 5 seconds thereafter. If the first value read within the loop is 0x00001234, what value would be read 35 seconds later?

Satisfied with the great investigative work that you did in the town of Idyllic, you head for home. On your way, you stop for a rest in a nearby town, LessThanIdyllic. It is very similar to its sister town, with a population of Simploids that make the town population nearly as happy as in Idyllic. The biggest difference is that the parasitic Shamworms are endemic to LessThanIdyllic. Like Idyllic, the Simploids in LessThanIdyllic have been getting sick and the citizens are getting worried. Word of your investigation has reached the town and so you are approached by the mayor to see if you can determine if it is the town’s use of ZapWeedz in their public parks that is the reason that their Simploids are getting sick.

1. What is an appropriate null hypothesis for the experiment you will run in LessThanIdyllic? (1)

2. What is the independent variable? (1)

3. What is the dependent variable? (1)

4. What is the experimental treatment? (1)

5. What is the control treatment? (1)

6. What are two (2) other potentially confounding variables you will need to keep constant? (1)

Question 14. The Short Run Aggregate Supply and the Phillips Curve                              

“Between 1987 and 1992, the New Zealand economy witnessed a swift drop in the inflation rate by more than 15 percentage points while the unemployment rate increased from about 4 per cent to more than 11 per cent. Subsequent years witnessed a rapid decline of the unemployment rate to its natural rate of 4 per cent with no significant changes in the inflation rate, contrary to the conventional wisdom popularised by the original Phillips curve.”

Apply the general macroeconomic model of aggregate demand (AD) and short run aggregate supply (SRAS) with the expectation-augmented Phillips curve to provide a unified theoretical explanation of those TWO observations concerning the (a) RISE and (b) DECLINE of unemployment. You may refer to hypothetical scenarios or to the actual historical context when considering the plausibility of the above explanation. (Word Limit = 300)
