A Relaxin receptor agonist drug (RRA01) for the acute heart failure treatment is developed by the Sunny Pharmaceutical Company. It is a publicly traded company. The reduction of cardiovascular death (mortality) was used as the end point (results of the research) for this investigation. The null hypothesis is “there is no difference in the cardiovascular mortality reduction between patients who received RRA01 (treatment group) and those who did not receive RRA01 (control group). Discuss the impact (on the company and/or on the patients) of the following two possible clinical trial results to the Sunny Pharmaceutical Company, staff of the company, and the patients. 1. p = 0.002 as the hypothesis test results 2. p = 0.3 as the hypothesis test results.

At a point in a stressed body, the principal stresses
are 100 MN/m2
(tensile) and 60 MN/m2
(compressive). Determine the normal stress and
the shear stress on a plane inclined at 50degree
counter clockwise to the axis
of minor principal stress. Also, calculate the maximum shear stress
at the
point and draw the Mohr’s stress circle to verify the
answers.
If the yield strength and Poisson’s ratio of the material in the
above case
is 240 MPa and 0.3 respectively, check whether the failure will
occur or
not according to (a) Maximum principal strain theory and (b)
Maximum
shear strain energy per unit volume theory. If failure does not
occur,
calculate the Factor of Safety.

How can I reduce data set by deleting any rows that have all
FALSE bool values for every column in
that row using pandas. Assuming there are 20+ columns/rows to loop
through. Example: The table data below the pandas code should
drop/reduce the data to remove the second & fifth row.
True and False in the table are dtype bool.

A perceptron with a unipolar step function has two inputs with weights w1= 0.5 and w2= -0.2, and a threshold theta=0.3 (theta can therefore be considered as a weight for an extra input which is always set to -1). The perceptron is trained using the learning rule ∆w = η (d − y) x, where x is the input vector, η is the learning rate, w is the weight vector, d is the desired output, and y is the actual output.What are the new values of the weights and threshold after one step of training with the input vector x = [0, 1]^T and desired output 1, using a learning rate η = 0.5?

Download the dataset returns.xlsx. This dataset records 83 consecutive monthly returns on the stock of Philip Morris (MO) and on Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index, measured in percent. Investors might be interested to know if the return on MO stock is influenced by the movement of the S&P 500 index. Please be aware that return is defined as new price − old price old price × 100%, so it is always reported as a percentage.
1. What is the response and explanatory variable for this dataset?
2. Create a scatterplot between the two variables and describe the form, direction, and strength of the linear relationship between the two variables.
3. Create a residual plot (residuals on y-axis, explanatory variable on x-axis).
4. Based on your answers to parts 2 and 3, are the assumptions for the regression model met? Address the linearity and constant variance assumptions.
5. Verify the values of the following: the sample means of the monthly returns of MO stocks and S&P stocks are 1.8783 and 1.3036 respectively; the sample standard deviations of the monthly returns of MO stocks and S&P stocks are 7.5539 and 3.3915 respectively.

Project Risk Response
Risk responses and action steps are defined during the risk response planning phase. Here the project team must plan the actions that will be taken should any identified risk actually materialize. This is typically done for some subset of the total population of risk issues identified—most likely those that are of the highest probability and/or impact. Risks can be both negative (threats) and positive (opportunities). The possible strategies for responding to negative risks include the following: avoid, transfer, mitigate, and accept. The possible strategies for responding to positive risks include the following: exploit, enhance, share, and accept.
QUESTION
Based on the below risk register regarding the Pepsi Refresh Program
Document the risk triggers in the project risk register in Column G.
Document risk response strategies (plans) for each risk in the project risk register in Columns L–M. The risk response strategies should be derived from the eight strategies of; responding to negative risks include the following: avoid, transfer, mitigate, and accept. The possible strategies for responding to positive risks include the following: exploit, enhance, share, and accept.

Create a supply and demand graph illustrating the scenario, the shock, and the predicted effects on wages and employment:
Scenario #1
Airbnb has housed over 150 million guests in over 65,000 cities since 2008. Do a bit of research on what Airbnb is and how cities and the hotel industry has been responding to it. Using standard supply and demand graphs from the course, model the labor market for hotel workers, pre-Airbnb, and show how Airbnb has likely affected the market.
Scenario #2
We all love to go to little, local ice cream shops. Many of these places hire teenagers over the summer to serve these delicious treats for us. Suppose that a new minimum wage bill comes online this summer, raising the minimum to $10/hour. Create two graphs: 1) model the market for these ice cream shop workers and how shop owners will likely respond to the minimum wage increase immediately after it happens; 2) model what would happen if a company starts using very cheap robot ice cream servers.
Scenario #3
Research and find specific examples of immigrants working as a) substitutes for U.S. workers and b) compliments to U.S. workers. Make sure you put the correct graph with each story.
Scenario #4
Many parts of the U.S. have a shortage of IT workers... not enough people are trained in these fields. Model the market for IT workers. What would happen if a new training program was targeted toward people in Appalachia who have a hard time finding work... the program trains this group to be IT technicians.
Scenario #5
You are looking at the labor market for young, childless males seeking work with low-paying employers (i.e. Wal-Mart). With a supply and demand graph, show the effects of expanding the EITC to these workers. Illustrate an initial equilibrium (before EITC), the shift due to the new EITC expansion, and point out the wage they get paid from the employer and the additional “pay” they get due to the EITC.

Q1
[The following information applies to the questions
displayed below.]
At year-end December 31, Chan Company estimates its bad debts as
0.40% of its annual credit sales of $759,000. Chan records its Bad
Debts Expense for that estimate. On the following February 1, Chan

writes it off as a bad debt. On June 5, Park unexpectedly pays the
amount previously written off.
Prepare Chan's journal entries to record the transactions of
December 31, February 1, and June 5.

first two years, the company completed a number of transactions
involving sales on credit, accounts receivable collections, and bad
debts. These transactions are summarized as follows.
Year 1
Year 2
Required:
Prepare journal entries to record Liang’s Year 1 and Year 2
summarized transactions and its year-end adjustments to record bad
