Suppose that you are an elementary school teacher and you are evaluating the reading levels of your students. You find an individual that reads 60.3 word per minute. You do some research and determine that the reading rates for their grade level are normally distributed with a mean of 100 words per minute and a standard deviation of 23 words per minute.

a. At what percentile is the child's reading level (round final answer to one decimal place).

b. Create a graph with a normal curve that illustrates the problem.

For the graph do NOT make an empirical rule graph, just include the mean and the mark off the area that corresponds to the student's percentile.

c. Make an argument to the parents of the child for the need for remediation. Structure your essay as follows:

1. A basic explanation of the normal distribution
2. Why the normal distribution might apply to this situation
3. Describe the specific normal distribution for this situation (give the mean and standard deviation)
4. Interpret the answer to part a. including a definition of percentile.
5. Explain how the graph created in part b. represents the child's reading level.
6. Use the answers to parts a. and b. to emphasize the gravity of the situation.
7. Give a suggested course of action.

Cost behavior is the term used to summarize the impact of costs that are influenced by volume. On a financial statement, these costs are identified as variable costs. Understanding the role of both fixed and variable costs in a health care organization is key to targeting profitability centers.

Assume the role of a financial consultant. You have been hired by a small non-profit hospital, struggling with profitability. You have been given full access to all financial and operational information to perform your research and analysis.

• Create a one-page outline of the work you will be performing. This outline will be given to the CFO.
• On a separate page, using fictional information, depict the hospital's cost behavior.
  • You may include graphics, such as pie charts or graphs, to illustrate.
  • Cost drivers should be clearly defined
  • One-page in length
• On a separate page, provide a recommendation summary for the CFO. This should include specific areas of concern to address, as well as areas of strength to continue supporting. Your wording should be professional and concise.
• Include a minimum of three references in APA style on a separate page
• Submit all four pages as part of one Word document

Now that we have seen Euler in action, let's return to examining the content of the M-File Euler.m. We have already explained the first line, where we defined the parameters our function takes. To see the meaning behind the third and fourth lines, type:

>> x = zeros(10,1);
y = zeros(10,1);
[x,y]

Thus we can see that the third and fourth lines of our M-File zero out the contents of our arrays x and y before we begin. Now, you'll continue examining our code.

Question: In your Word document, briefly explain what is happening in each remaining line of the M-File Euler.m.

The M-File is:

function [x,y] = Euler(h, x0, y0, interval_length, func)
nsteps = floor(interval_length/h) + 1;
x = zeros(nsteps,1);
y = zeros(nsteps,1);
x(1) = x0;
y(1) = y0;
for i=2:nsteps
    y(i) = y(i-1) + h* func(x(i-1), y(i-1));
    x(i) = x(i-1) + h;
end

You are a senior manager at Airbus and have been authorized to spend up to €200,000 for projects. The three projects you are considering have the following characteristics:

Project A: Initial investment of €158,000. Cash flow of €52,000 at year 1 and €108,000 at year 2. This is a plant expansion project, where the required rate of return is 9 per cent.

Project B: Initial investment of €200,000. Cash flow of €200,800 at year 1 and €113,000 at year 2. This is a new product development project, where the required rate of return is 19 per cent.

Project C: Initial investment of €104,000. Cash flow of €104,400 at year 1 and €102,000 at year 2. This is a market expansion project, where the required rate of return is 19 per cent. Assume the corporate discount rate is 9 per cent.

Required; Please offer your recommendations following your investment appraisal using Payback period, IRR, Incremental IRR, PI and NPV backed by your analysis of 1000 words. All calculations should be attached in an appendix at the end of your report (and do not form part of the word count).

Wenatchee is a town on a large river. On the other side of the river is East Wenatchee (since the river is the county line, these are in two different counties and thus, two different cities.) Wenatchee (which I refuse to call "West Wenatchee") is pretty much hemmed in on all sides by mountains. East Wenatchee, on the other hand, sits on a large plateau surrounded by wheat fields.

Assume that housing in Wenatchee and housing in East Wenatchee are what economists call "perfect substitutes." This means basically that people don't care whether they live in Wenatchee or East Wenatchee. Then imagine that in the nearest big city there is a pandemic followed by a bunch of riots. Part of the town is taken over by Marxists revolutionaries. The city starts dismantling the police and raising taxes because they have no money. (Just try to imagine it!) and this causes a lot of people to decide it would be nice to live in a smaller town on the other side of the mountains.

Which will grow more, Wenatchee or East Wenatchee? Why? Your answer should include econ words like "supply," "demand," "quantity supplied," "quantity demanded," and a certain important word from chapter 5. It should also probably include a graph or two.

1. The purpose of this assignment is to teach you about encryption and for you to be able to encrypt and protect your important documents before you store them in the cloud.

2. Please be careful with the encryption. If you loose or forget the password of your encrypted file, you will not be able to recover the documents.

3. Take Backup of your System. It is important to take backup anytime you are installing or removing a program. It is also important to take regular backups.

4. Download an encryption software. I recommend veracrypt (https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Home.html (Links to an external site.)) but you are free to use any software other than built in filevault or bitlocker. Create an encrypted container of 10MB. Add a file to the container. Try to mount and dismount and see how you can access the files.

5. If you get a message, "OSXFuse seems to be missing on your machine. VeraCrypt requires OSXFuse 2.5 or above." Go ahead and install that too. OSXfuse adds to Mac's file handling capabilities.

6. Take 4-5 screenshots of the entire process and paste it on a word document and upload it here.

1 of the following government intervention programs:

• Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

WRITE a 700- to 1,050-word summary of your analysis. Identify the intervention and the market failure leading up to the intervention. Complete the following in your paper:

• Analyze the arguments for government intervention as opposed to arguments for market-based solutions.Hint:See the information about market failures.
• Examine who has been helped and who has been hurt by the selected government intervention.
• Examine externalities and unintended consequences of such intervention. For example, consider whether the SNAP program and health coverage for low-income families result in higher future tax revenues because low-income children grow up healthier and produce higher incomes over their lifetimes.
• Analyze whether cost of the intervention you selected as a share of GDP or the number of participants is increasing,decreasing, or varies with the state of the economy, based on the cost trend(or number of participants) since its inception or since 2000.
• Analyze credible economists’ opinions on the success or failure of the intervention that you chose in achieving its objectives.
• Recommend whether the program should be continued as is, discontinued, or modified based on your conclusions. Defend your recommendation.

As a auditor, I was assigned to a team to audit possible payroll fraud. The company we were auditing always handed the Friday payroll checks to the department supervisor to disburse. On this visit it was my responsibility to gather a signatures, verify the employee ID to the payroll register for the shipping/warehouse department. Paychecks were always presented at 9AM, so the employees were there to pick them up as we were told.

This one department always had a high turnover rate. On this Friday I was in the warehouse managers office ready to go. One by one the drivers and warehouse personnel came in with ID and signed for their checks. At the end of the time period there were three checks leftover. The warehouse manager said three employees were out doing deliveries. I said have them see me when they come back, I will be here all day (10 hours).

Question:

1. Identify one way that the warehouse manager could defraud the company under the present system.

2. Discuss a control feature that the company can use to safeguard against fraud.

In addition, there is a 200 word minimum for your initial post.

(using for loop, parameters, if, else condition only )Python: Write a program that prompts the user to enter a positive integer value, and compute the following sequence: • If the value is even, halve it. • If it's odd, multiply by 3 and add 1. • Repeat this process until the value is 1, printing out each value. • Then print out how many of these operations you performed. If the input value is less than 1, print a message containing the word Error and exit the program. assume that the input will have smaller than 200 operations. This is how the output should look like: Initial value is: 9 Next value is: 28 Next value is: 14 Next value is: 7 Next value is: 22 Next value is: 11 Next value is: 34 Next value is: 17 Next value is: 52 Next value is: 26 Next value is: 13 Next value is: 40 Next value is: 20 Next value is: 10 Next value is: 5 Next value is: 16 Next value is: 8 Next value is: 4 Next value is: 2 Final value 1, number of operations performed 19
