   Find a pattern that will match any string that is

--  at least 6 characters long,

-- and begins with a letter or number (\w)

-- and contains at least one non-letter and non-number (\W).

. Differentiate between metric and non-metric scale of measurement by giving suitable examples. Give examples of statistical tools where the two types of data (metric and non-metric) are used.

The following table reports the Consumer Pirce Index for the Los Angeles area on a monthly basis from January 1998 to December 2000 (base year=1982-1984). Eliminating the data for 2000, use Excel to forecast the index for all of 2000 using a three-and -six month average. Which provides a better forecast for 2000 using the data provided?

For homework, Go to the store, and get current prices for items listed below..( I know the CPI index is for 2014 and we are in 2015, but we are going to call it "close enough.") Then you will be able to determine if there has been inflation for that particular good. Simply put your prices and year in the bookmarked inflation calculator and it does the work for you.

For example, in 1963 an Easy Bake Oven cost $15.95. Adjusting for the rate of inflation since 1963, an Easy Bake Oven should have cost $117.92 in 2011. However the oven only cost of $39.95 in 2011. Therefore there was no inflation for Easy Bake Ovens.

In 1964 a 21 inch television sold for $479.95. Adjusting for the rate of inflation since 1964, a similar TV should cost $3502.55. However a 21 TV can be bought today for $149.99. Therefore there has been no inflation for TV's!

Submit your price comparisons and conclusions in LEO-specualte as to why some items show inflation and others do not.

Please summarize the abstract of the article below. Article name is Diference of coagulation features between severe pneumonia induced by SARS-CoV2 and non-SARS-CoV2. What i dont understand is in bold.

Severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is commonly complicated with coagulopathy, the diference of coagulation features between severe pneumonia induced by SARS-CoV2 and non-SARS-CoV2 has not been analyzed. Coagulation results and clinical features of consecutive patients with severe pneumonia induced by SARS-CoV2 (COVID group) and non-SARS-CoV2 (non-COVID group) in Tongji hospital were retrospectively analyzed and compared. Whether patients with elevated D-dimer could beneft from anticoagulant treatment was evaluated. There were 449 COVID patients and 104 non-COVID patients enrolled into the study. The 28-day mortality in COVID group was approximately twofold of mortality in non-COVID group (29.8% vs. 15.4%, P=0.003), COVID group were older (65.1±12.0 vs. 58.4±18.0, years, P<0.001) and with higher platelet count (215±100 vs. 188±98, ×109/L, P=0.015), comparing to non-COVID group. The 28-day mortality of heparin users were lower than nonusers In COVID group with D-dimer>3.0 μg/mL (32.8% vs. 52.4%, P=0.017).Patients with severe pneumonia induced by SARS-CoV2 had higher platelet count than those induced by non-SARS-CoV2, and only the former with markedly elevated D-dimer may beneft from anticoagulant treatment.

Calculate a price index for 2018, 2019, and 2020 using the following information about prices. Let the market basket consist of the price of one pizza pie, two sodas, and four caffe lattes. Let the year 2018 be the base year (with an index value of 100). See the instruction video, "inflation.ppsm".

A. Calculate the price index for each year. To compute the price index for each year, you must first compute cost of market basket for each year (Show mathematical steps in detail to receive full credits).

B. How much inflation occurred between 2018 and 2019? Between 2018 and 2020? In other words, what is the change in the price index between 2018 vs 2019 and 2018 vs 2020?

1. Show mathematical steps in detail

2. interpret what the computed numbers (inflation rate) indicate in detail

During 2016 (its first year of operations) and 2017, Segura LLC used the FIFO inventory costing method. At the beginning of 2018, Segura changed to the average cost method.

                Components of income before tax for 2018, 2017, and 2016 were as follows ($ in millions):

                                                                                2018                       2017                       2016

                Revenues                                            $420                       $390                       $380

                Cost of goods sold (FIFO)              (46)                         (40)                        (38)

                Cost of goods sold (average)       (62)                         (56)                        (52)

                Operating expenses                       (254)                      (250)                     (240)
