1. Maureen lives in Washington State. She went to California on a vacation, and went to a movie theater with a friend while she was there. She was injured due to the movie theater's negligence in not maintaining properly a carpeted stairway inside the theater.

Bush Enterprises, Inc. a “person”.

Maureen’s injuries amount to about $80,000 in lost wages and medical bills (not counting pain and suffering). Maureen should be able to have her case against George W. Bush Enterprises, Inc., decided in a US District Court, based on complete diversity of citizenship. T or F

A mixture of He and N2 gas is contained in a pipe at 298 K and 1 atm total pressure which is constant throughout. At one end of the pipe at point 1 the partial pressure of He is 0.6 atm and at the other end, 0.2 m away, the partial pressure is = 0.2 atm. 1. Calculate the flux of He at steady state if DAB of the He-N2 system is 0.684 x 10-4 m2 /s. R = 8.314 m3Pa/mol K. 2. Recalculate the flux of A assuming only molecular diffusion applies, i.e. ignore the bulk motion term.

You can produce 1,000 umbrellas at a production cost of $1.75 per unit. Alternatively, you may produce 3,000 umbrellas at a cost of $2.25 per unit. Umbrella sales this year are highly dependent on weather, and you believe there is a 0.2 chance of high demand due to bad weather, and a (1-0.2) chance of low demand. If there is high demand, you can sell the umbrellas for $4, and if there is low demand, you can only get $2 per widget. How many umbrellas should you choose to produce if you remain uncertain about the weather?

Program C You are given some data from an animal shelter, listing animals that they currently have. They have asked you to write a program to sort the dogs and cats in age in ascending order, respectively, and write them in separate files. Assume the input file has the format of name (one word), species (one word), gender (one word), age (int), weight (double), with each animal on a separate line:

Hercules cat male 3 13.4

Toggle dog female 3 48

Buddy lizard male 2 0.3 ….

Example input/output:

Enter the file name: animals.txt

Output file name: sorted_dogs.txt sorted_cats.txt

1. Name your program animals.c.

2. The output file name should be sorted_dogs.txt and sorted_cats.txt. Assume the input file name is no more than 100 characters.

3. The program should be built around an array of animal structures, with each animal containing information of name, species, gender, age, and weight. Assume that there are no more than 200 items in the file. Assume the name of an animal is no more than 100 characters.

4. Use fscanf and fprintf to read and write data.

5. Your program should include a sorting function so that it sorts the animals in age. You can use any sorting algorithms such as selection sort and insertion sort. void sort_animals(struct animal list[], int n);

6. Output files should be in the format of name gender age weight, with 2 decimal digits for weight.

For example,

Toggle female 3 48.01

Rocky male 5 52.32
