shopping bags in Berlin, Amsterdam and London with a view to target
the highest density population

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that 9.6% of adults aged 20 to 24 years were unemployed in April 2015. Suppose that Jacqui believes that in her city the unemployment rate is higher than the reported proportion. She determines the unemployment status of 450 randomly selected adults in the given age range. She decides to conduct a z-test for the proportion p of unemployed adults in her town aged 20 to 24 years old.
Determine the power to reject the null hypothesis at a significance level of α=0.05 if the true proportion of unemployed adults aged 20 to 24 is 0.110. Give your answer to two decimal places, rounding if necessary.

The city of Gadsden, Alabama (where Noah’s parents live) is considering replacing one of the bridges that cross the Coosa River that runs through town. The primary benefits of replacing the current bridge are reductions in commute time, traffic, and better foot traffic safety for people walking across the bridge. The expected cost of the bridge is $8 million. The expected benefits from primary sources over the coming years are $4 million immediately, and $1 million each year over the next 4 years. Discuss the cost-benefit analysis associated with this project. Is it possible to improve the cost-benefit analysis? Is anything missing from it?. Should the city go forward with the project? Why or why not?

Using what you know about inputs and outputs, code a simple ATM interaction. Your ATM will start with only $500 to give out, and YOUR balance will be 1000. The amounts the ATM can dispense are $40, $80, $200 and $400. After you've received your disbursement, the console will show the amount you have left in your account, as well as how much the ATM has to dispense (we live in a small, fictional town - no one will use this information for nefarious purposes).
You may choose to use characters to show the interface, or just list the options for the user at the console.
