A road is built with a vertical transition curve. The PVC is at 111+05 and elevation of 322. The PVI is at 111+85 and elevation of 320. Low point of curve is at 111+65.

Find starting grade? Ending grade? Design speed of curve? Elevation of low point on curve?

Cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, is now a household name built on Blockchain Technology. This technology has potential application in some sectors of our economy such as insurance, healthcare, supply chain, real estate and even in the voting system. Consider the following statement and then argue for or against it.

“Use of Blockchain technology will change our economic system as we know it today.”

The local indigenous communities will be relocated from the area the houses are built upon. The leaders of the communities object, but their combined contribution to the market economy (measured with GDP) is negligible. Using internet research discuss the weaknesses of GDP as a measure of welfare. Describe the three parts to Wight’s taxonomy of ethical action and apply it to the decision whether to go ahead with the project

Question

Objective:

The purpose of this lab is for you to become familiar with Python’s built-in text container -- class str -- and lists containing multiple strings. One of the advantages of the str class is that, to the programmer, strings in your code may be treated in a manner that is similar to how numbers are treated. Just like ints, floats, a string object (i.e., variable) may be initialized with a literal value or the contents of another string object. String objects may also be added together (concatenation) and multiplied by an integer (replication). Strings may also be compared for “equality” and arranged into some order (e.g., alphabetical order, ordering by number of characters, etc.). Finally, strings may be placed in containers which can then be passed as arguments to functions for more complex manipulations.

Specifications:

Write an interactive Python program composed of several functions that manipulate strings in different ways. Your main() function prompts the user for a series of strings which are placed into a list container. The user should be able to input as many strings as they choose (i.e., a sentinel-controlled loop). Your main function will then pass this list of strings to a variety of functions for manipulation (see below).

The main logic of your program must be included within a loop that repeats until the user decides he/she does not want to continue processing lists of strings. The pseudo code for the body of your main() function might be something like this:

# Create the main function

def main():

# declare any necessary variable(s)

# // Loop: while the user wants to continue processing more lists of words

#

# // Loop: while the user want to enter more words (minimum of 8)

# // Prompt for, input and store a word (string) into a list # // Pass the list of words to following functions, and perform the manipulations

# // to produce and return a new, modified, copy of the list.

# // NOTE: None of the following functions can change the list parameter it

# // receives – the manipulated items must be returned as a new list.

#

# // SortByIncreasingLength(…)

# // SortByDecreasingLength(…)

# // SortByTheMostVowels(…)

# // SortByTheLeastVowels(…)

# // CapitalizeEveryOtherCharacter(…)

# // ReverseWordOrdering(…)

# // FoldWordsOnMiddleOfList(…)

# // Display the contents of the modified lists of words

#

# // Ask if the user wants to process another list of words

Deliverable(s):

Your deliverable should be a Word document with screenshots showing the sample code you have created, and discuss the issues that you had for this project related to AWS and/or Python IDE and how you solved them.

Submit the program you develop including captured output. Also turn in screen captures from running your program inputting, as a minimum, three (3) sets word lists (no fewer than 8 words per list).

the number of fire engines available to extinguish fires in a small town is two. When a fire occurs it occupies one fire engine for a full day. If the occurence of fires is Poisson distributed with a mean of 0.7 per day, what is the probability that a fire will occur for which no engine is available?

Suppose that a financial analyst collected the following data: rate of return on T-bill is 2.5%

Market risk premium is = 5%; company's beta is 0.7; D₁ = $2.00; current stock price is

$30.00; future growth of dividends is 6%.

What estimate should the analyst use?

A manufacturer knows that their items have a normally distributed lifespan, with a mean of 2.7 years, and standard deviation of 0.7 years.

If 6 items are picked at random, 4% of the time their mean life will be less than how many years?

Give your answer to one decimal place.

Assume the random variable X has a binomial distribution with the given probability of obtaining a success. Find the following probability, given the number of trials and the probability of obtaining a success. Round your answer to four decimal places.

P(X=14), n=15, p=0.7
