Q1:
Zimbabwe abandoned its own currency (the Zimbabwean Dollar) after experiencing hyperinflation in 2008 and adopted the US Dollar as its legal tender. The money supply in the country therefore depends totally on imports and exports. In 2015 the country experienced a severe drought which caused both food and export crops (mainly tobacco) to fail. As a result, the country’s food imports increased dramatically while its exports declined. The government insisted that the economy grew, but international economic observers all agree that the size of Zimbabwe's economy remained the same in 2015. Foreign investment, through which US dollars can flow into Zimbabwe, was negligible in 2015. As a consequence of these events, what do you think happened to the general price level in 2015. Explain. You need to include the two crucial factors for changes in the general price level in your essay. Focus on the development in 2015 and DO NOT discuss the hyperinflation in 2008, which is not the topic of this assignment. You do not need to discuss why the economy of Zimbabwe did not shrink. There are economic sectors other than agriculture and their growth compensated the decline in agriculture. 3 points.
Q2:
Santa 2.0
Recall Santa 1.0. What would happen to the general price level if everybody who received cash from Santa put all the money under the mattress and did not spend it at all? Assume the size of the economy did not change.

Santa Fe black-on-white is a type of pottery commonly found at archaeological excavations at a certain monument. At one excavation site a sample of 600 potsherds was found, of which 362 were identified as Santa Fe black-on-white.

(a) Let p represent the proportion of Santa Fe black-on-white potsherds at the excavation site. Find a point estimate for p. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)


(b) Find a 95% confidence interval for p. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

upper limit    


Give a brief statement of the meaning of the confidence interval.

5% of all confidence intervals would include the true proportion of potsherds.95% of all confidence intervals would include the true proportion of potsherds.    5% of the confidence intervals created using this method would include the true proportion of potsherds.95% of the confidence intervals created using this method would include the true proportion of potsherds.


(c) Do you think that np > 5 and nq > 5 are satisfied for this problem? Explain why this would be an important consideration.

No, the conditions are not satisfied. This is important because it allows us to say that is approximately normal.No, the conditions are not satisfied. This is important because it allows us to say that is approximately binomial.    Yes, the conditions are satisfied.

Consider a class Book that contains information about a Book. The class should has the following attributes:

• The title of the book

• The author of the book

• Year of publication (e.g. 1994)

• The number of people that have rated this book as a 1 (Terrible)

• The number of people that have rated this book as a 2 (Bad)

• The number of people that have rated this book as a 3 (OK)

• The number of people that have rated this book as a 4 (Good)

• The number of people that have rated this book as a 5 (Great)

Implement the class with accessors and mutators for the title of the book, author of the book and year of publication. Write a method addRating that takes an integer as an input parameter. The method should verify that the parameter is a number between 1 and 5, and if so, increment by one the number of people rating the book that matches the input parameter. For example, if 3 is the input parameter, then the number of people that rated the book as a 3 should be incremented by one. Write another method, getAverage, that returns the average value for all the book ratings.

Test the class by writing a main method that creates at least two Book objects, adds at least five ratings for each book, and output the title of the book, author of the book, year of publication, and average rating for each book object.

Provide the UML class diagram for the Book class.

Note that the question does not require the use of arrays.

The program should be well-structured and should have a reasonable set of methods in addition to the main method. It should use a good coding style, proper indentation, meaningful identifier names and appropriate comments throughout.

The program should also include a method (eg, UserInfo( )) to output your student details (name, referenceID) at the start of program results.

Devise suitable test data (in addition to the above example) to test your program.

Task 1

Create a program to store a record using structure. You need to define one structure template with minimum 3 data members. In main function, declare one structure variable, then get input from user and store into the variable. Then your program will display the content of the structure on the screen output.

Task 2

Use the structure definition in Task 1 to store 5 records using an array of structure with five elements. Get the data from user, store into the array, then display the output in table format.

Task 3

You are required to create a program which involve nested structure. What u need to do is to create another structure that related to the structure definition in Task 1. For example you may have structure such as BookInfor and AuthorInfor. Therefore you can produce information like the book A is written by the this author B. Your program should store five records accordingly

What is the potential difference ΔV between the particles final and initial positions?

A particle that carries a net charge of -95.8 uC is held in a constant electric field that is uniform over the entire region. The electric field vector is oriented 55.2 degrees clockwise from the vertical axis, as shown in the figure. If the magnitude of the electric field is 8.32 N/C, how much work is done by the electric field as the particle is made to move a distance of d= 0.556m straight up?
