You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of men over the age of 50 who regularly have their prostate examined is significantly less than 0.32. A random sample of 715 men over the age of 50 found that 196 have their prostate regularly examined. Do the sample data provide convincing evidence to support the claim? Test the relevant hypotheses using a 10% level of significance. Give answer to at least 4 decimal places. What are the correct hypotheses? (Select the correct symbols and use decimal values not percentages.) H0: H1: Based on the hypotheses, find the following: Test Statistic = Critical-value = (Hint: Look up critical value online. This is the z-score that represents the boundary for the level of significance. Use invNorm to find the z-score that corresponds to your significance level.) Shade the sampling distribution curve with the correct critical value(s) and shade the critical regions. The arrows can only be dragged to z-scores that are accurate to 1 place after the decimal point (these values correspond to the tick marks on the horizontal axis). Select from the drop down menu to shade to the left, to the right, between or left and right of the z-score(s). Shade: . Click and drag the arrows to adjust the values. Normal curveInterval pointer-1.5 The correct decision is to . The correct summary would be: that the proportion of men over the age of 50 who regularly have their prostate examined is significantly less than 0.32.

In accounting, balance sheets are used to keep of track how much money a person has in an account. Write a Python program to create a simple three column balance sheet, showing credits in one column, debits in the next, and a running balance in the third. If the balance dips into the negative, you must show the value in parentheses, the standard method in accounting. Input will be from a text file. The first value will be the opening balance in the account, followed by an integer N indicating N sets of data to follow. Each subsequent data set will be either the letter 'C' for credit, or 'D' for debit, followed by a dollar amount. Output to the screen a complete balance sheet, with headings and boundary lines above and below, and columns 14 spaces wide. All amounts will be at least one dollar and are guaranteed to "fit" in the balance sheet. All values with four digits or more in the whole number portion are to be output with "comma " notation, and all negative values in the balance column are to be shown in parentheses.
Let the user input the file name from the keyboard. Refer to the sample output below.

Consider the following linear difference equation
yk −0.55yk−1 +0.12yk−2 +0.08yk−3 =xk−1 +1.5xk−2 ,
defined for integers k ≥ 0.
(a) Assuming that the initial conditions y−1 = y−2 = y−3 = 0, what is the z-domain transfer function G(z) of the linear system relating the z-transform Y (z) of the output sequence {yk} to the z-transform X(z) of the input sequence {xk} ? Express your answer as a ratio of polynomials in z.
(b) What are the number of poles and the number of (finite) zeros of G(z) ?
(c) Given that G(z) has a pole at z = −0.25, find the remaining poles, and the finite zeros of
G(z). Clearly indicate how you obtained the poles.
(d) Is the system G(z) bounded-input, bounded-output stable ? Explain your answer making
reference to the stability boundary in the z-plane.
(e) In your answer booklet, neatly sketch the pole-zero-gain plot of G(z) remembering to
include the leading co-efficient of the numerator polynomial.
(f) What are the transient response modes for G(z) ? Note : You are NOT required to determine residues, just the general form of each transient response mode. The response modes must be real-valued sequences.

A. Vision What is the problem, deficiencies or opportunities? State
how the need(s) for an envisioned system is identified. Answer
precisely and concisely in a small paragraph.
B. What is the envisioned system? In a few sentences, tell what is
the envisioned system? the most important functions of the system,
and the most significant effects of the system?
C. Who are stakeholders? Who are clients (major stakeholders)?
Identify the stakeholders of your envisioned system; particularly
the major stakeholders – the clients, to whom the system is
designed for, and who will use this system for their mission.
D. State the objectives of the clients (the major stakeholders) in
the immediate super-system. Explain how the clients will benefit
from the envisioned system in their mission environment.
E. Use cases describe how the envisioned system works in the
operational environment. Use Use-Case Diagram and Sequence Diagram
to describe major use cases.
F. Define System Boundary - Use IDEF0 draw External Systems
Diagram, to define the interaction between the envisioned system
and its external systems. Draw the External Systems Diagram, if
there are many external systems in the case, select 4 or 5 most
relevant ones (having more inputs / outputs). For some necessary
inputs / outputs from/to omitted external systems, mark them with
brief text.

You are using a silver spoon to stir water that just started boiling so that you can achieve a more even heat distribution in your water. The spoon is partially immersed in boiling water and a thermometer in your kitchen reads 27 °C. The handle of the spoon has a cross section of 2mm × 1cm and extends 15 cm in the air from the free surface of the water. The heat transfer coefficient at the exposed surfaces of the spoon handle is 3 W/m2×K.
A) Determine the temperature difference across the exposed surface of the spoon handle.
B) Can the lumped sum analysis be applied to the water as it cools? Provide justification to support your answer.
******Note:
Your answer must provide the following:
Assumptions: state all assumptions necessary to solve the problem, explain their relevance and
validate them where necessary.
Schematic: draw a schematic showing the flow of energy in your system
What are the modes of heat transfer that the spoon is exposed to?
Is this a time dependent or steady state problem? Why or why not?
Is this a 1-D, 2-D or 3-D problem? Why or why not?
What is the thermal conductivity of the material? Can you assume it constant and if so, for what
ranges?
The heat transfer coefficient is a function of many variables. Discuss the variables and whether the
heat transfer coefficient can be assumed to be constant
What boundary condition are you applying and why?
