The signature of each function is provided below, do not make any changes to them otherwise the tester will not work properly. The following are the functions you must implement:

mashup(lst) [20pts]

Description: Creates a new string that is based on the provided list. Each number in the list specifies how many characters from the string that follows belong in the resulting string. Parameters: lst is a list of variable size, that contains alternating ints and strings Assumptions: When a pair of values doesn’t make sense, throw out that pair. When you have an empty string in the list, move on to the next pair. When you have a number that is larger than the length of the string, move on to the next pair, etc. Return value: the new string that is generated from the replacements Examples: mashup([2, 'abc', 1, 'def']) → 'abd' mashup([3, 'rate', 2, 'inside', 1, 'goat']) → 'rating'

expand(numbers, amount) [20pts]

Description: Given a list of numbers it returns that same list that has been expanded with a certain amount of zeroes around all of the numbers, including at the beginning and end of the list. Parameters: numbers is a list of mixed int and float Assumptions: You will always have at least one element in numbers. amount will be >= 0 Return value: Nothing is returned. The swapping occurs in-place, i.e. you modify numbers itself Examples: ls = [1,2,3] expand(ls, 1) # nothing is returned! print(ls) # prints [0,1,0,2,0,3,0] ls = [1.5, -6, 4, 0] expand(ls, 2) # nothing is returned! print(ls) # prints [0, 0, 1.5, 0, 0, -6, 0, 0, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

Assumptions for the following two problems: There will be at least one row and one column in the matrix. All rows will have the same number of elements.

squarify(matrix) [25pts]

Description: Determine the size of the largest square that can be made with the given matrix. Construct a new square matrix of this size using the elements from the original matrix in their original order. Parameters: matrix (list of lists of int) Return value: A new matrix (list of lists of int) Examples: ls = [[1,2,3,4],[5,6,7,8],[9,10,11,12]] new_ls = squarify(ls) print(new_ls) # prints [[1, 2, 3], [5, 6, 7], [9, 10, 11]]

apply(mask, matrix) [25pts]

Description: Given a matrix, apply the mask. The matrix is some MxN list of list of ints, and the mask is exactly a 2x2 list of lists of ints. Imagine you overlay the mask on top of the matrix, starting from the top left corner. There will be 4 places that overlap. Add each pair of numbers that are overlapped, and update the original matrix with this new value. Shift the mask down the row of the matrix to the next 2x2 that hasn't been updated already, and continue this process. Keep doing this down the columns as well. If you are on an edge and only a piece of the mask overlaps, you can ignore the other numbers and only update the overlapping portion. Parameters: matrix (MxN list of list of ints) and mask (2x2 list of list of ints) Return value: Nothing is returned. The updating occurs in-place, i.e. you modify matrix itself Examples: ls = [[1,2],[3,4]] apply([[1,1],[1,1]], ls) # nothing is returned! print(ls) # prints [[2, 3], [4, 5]] ls = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]] apply([[1,1],[1,1]], ls) # nothing is returned! print(ls) # prints [[2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7], [8, 9, 10]] ls = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9], [10, 11, 12]] apply([[1,0],[0,1]], ls) # nothing is returned! print(ls) # prints [[2, 2, 4], [4, 6, 6], [8, 8, 10], [10, 12, 12]]

In this assignment, you will be completing a health assessment on an older adult. To complete this assignment, do the following: Perform a health history on an older adult. Students who do not work in an acute setting may "practice" these skills with a patient, community member, neighbor, friend, colleague, or loved one. (If an older individual is not available, you may choose a younger individual). Complete a physical examination of the client using the "Health History and Examination" assignment resource. Use the "Functional Health Pattern Assessment" resource as a guideline to assist you in completing the template. Document findings of complete physical examination in Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation (SBAR) format. Refer to the sample SBAR Template located on the National Nurse Leadership Council website at https://www.ihs.gov/nnlc/includes/themes/newihstheme/display_objects/documents/resources/SBARTEMPLATE.pdf as a guide. Document the findings of the physical examination in the assessment worksheet. Using the "Health History and Examination" assignment resource, provide the physical examination findings summary with planned interventions for the client. Include any community services in the interventions. APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

In the past, 60 % of all undergraduate students enrolled at state university earned their degrees within four years of matriculation. a random sample of 95 students from the class that matriculated in the fall of 2012 was recently selected to test whether there has been a change in the proportion of students who graduate within four years. Administrators found that 40 of these 95 students graduated in the spring of 2016 (i,e. , four academic years after matriculation) .

a . given the sample outcome , calculate a 95 % confidence interval for the relevant population proportion . does this interval estimate suggest that there has been a change in the proportion of students who graduate within four years? why or why not ? Please do in excel

b. suppose now that state university administrators want to test the claim made by faculty that the proportion of students who graduate within four years at state university has fallen below the historical value of 60\% this year. use this sample proportion to test their claim . report a p -value and interpret it . Please do in excel

Are you self-motivated to learn and understand; not only driven by grades or external praise?

Do you push yourself to think deeper about issues and draw connections to your personal, academic, and professional lives?

How do you view the instructor? Do you view the instructor as a guide, but yourself as the pursuer of deeper understanding? Do you consider the instructor the expert and you as the novice?

Do you see a value in collaborative learning, pursuing knowledge through peer engagement and feedback? Do you see a difference in how deeply you explore a topic when you are alone vs. when you're working in a group?

What is your understanding of the scope of the University, its departments, and its learning philosophy and approach?

Explain the importance of applying the knowledge learned in the classroom to continued personal and career development potential.

Part a

The Bogue High School Gift Shop purchases sweatshirts emblazoned with the school name and logo from a vendor in Montego Bay at a cost of $2,000 each. The annual holding cost for a sweatshirt is calculated as 1.5% of the purchase cost. It costs the Gift Shop $500 to place a single order. The Gift Shop manager estimates that 900 sweatshirts will be sold during each month of the upcoming academic year.

i) Determine the highest number of shirts that should be purchased by the Gift Shop in order to minimize stock administration costs.

ii) What is the number of orders to be placed each year?

iii)Compute the average annual ordering cost

iv) Compute the average annual carrying cost

v) Compute the total stock administration cost

Part b The maximum sale for the Gift Shop for any one week is 300 sweatshirts and minimum sales 150 sweatshirts. The vendor takes anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks to deliver the merchandise after the order is placed. Using the EOQ policy, determine the re-order level, minimum inventory level and maximum inventory level for the business
