Moderate prematurity refers to babies who are born between 28 and 32 completed weeks gestational age with a birth weight range between 1500 and 2500 grams. The length of time a baby has spent in the womb, or more specifically the number of completed weeks of frequency, is called gestational age. Based on their gestational age and their weight, premature babies are placed into categories of mild, moderate and extreme prematurity.

• Mild Prematurity refers to babies who are between 33 and 36 completed weeks of gestation and /or have a birth weight between 1500 and 2500 grams.

• Moderate Prematurity refers to babies who are born between 28 and 32 completed weeks of gestation with a birth weight range between 100 and 1500 grams.

• Extreme Prematurity refers to babies who are born before 28 completed weeks of gestation or a birth weight less than 1000 grams.
The birth weight of a baby is approximately normally distributed with an average of 3.4 kg and a standard deviation of 800 grams. i. Calculate the probability of having a birth with moderate prematurity.

ii. What is the probability of having birth with extreme prematurity?

iii. What is the probability of having a baby weighing at least 6 kg? Do you think it is highly unlikely to have a baby with this weight? explain?

iv. A randomly selected baby will weigh more than x kg to be one of the top 5% in weight. What is the value of x? v. Above what weight do 87.7% of the weights occur?

vi. Suppose on another planet the baby (may not be human) birth weight X follow the normal distribution. The probability that X exceeds 4 kg is 0.975 and the probability that x exceeds 5 kg is 0.95. Find µ and σ.

Using C++. Implement l_list.cpp and l_list.h

l_list and encounterNode. The former is a richly featured linked list with a wide variety of methods and the latter is a node meant to encapsulate a game encounter. In the context of this task, the encounterNode represents a battle encounter. Each encounter will describe what a player has to watch in the course of the level in terms of enemies, rewards and such. Therefore a combination of encounterNodes contained within a linked list would represent a single level in a game. The classes and behaviors of their methods are detailed below:

l_list
-head: encounterNode*
---------------------------
+l_list()
+~l_list()
+addToFront(a:string*, b:int, c:string):int
+addToBack(a:string*, b:int, c:string):int
+addAtIndex(a:string*, b:int, c:string, index:int):int
+getListSize():int
+removeFromFront():encounterNode*
+removeFromBack():encounterNode*
+removeFromIndex(index:int):encounterNode*
+printSummaryOfList():void
+printList():void

The class has the following variables:
•head: The head pointer which demarcates the start of the list.

The class has the following methods:
•l_list: The list constructor. It will start by initialising a blank list with no elements.

•∼l_list: The list destructor. It should delete all of the remaining nodes in the list and deallocate all of the memory contained within. After deleting the list, it should print out the following message: ”Number of nodes deleted: X” without quotation marks where X indicates the number of nodes deleted in the process. Be sure to add a newline at the end of this output.

•addToFront: This method receives the variables to construct a new node and then allocates memory for it before adding it to the list at the front. It returns the new size of the list, that is the size of the list with the added node.

•addToBack: This method receives the variables to construct a new node and then allocates memory for it before adding it to the list at the back of the list. It returns the new size of the list, that is the size of the list with the added node.

•addAtIndex: This method receives the variables required to instantiate a new node as well as an index. This method should insert this node into the list at the given index. If the given index is not contained within the list, such as inserting at 5 when the list is only 2 nodes big, instead you must add it to the front. Note that the list is 0-indexed. It returns the new size of the list, that is the size of the list with the added node.

•getListSize: This method determines the number of nodes in the list and returns this as an integer.

•removeFromFront: This remove method removes a node from the list from the front and returns it. Note that the node is returned and not deleted; it must be properly unlinked from the list without being destroyed. If the list is empty, return NULL.

•removeFromBack: This remove method removes a node from the list from the back and returns it. Note that the node is returned and not deleted; it must be properly unlinked from the list without being destroyed. If the list is empty, return NULL.

•removeFromIndex: This method receives an index of a node to remove from the list. This node must be removed and returned without being destroyed; that is, unlinked from the list without being deleted. Note that if the index is not valid or the list is empty then the method should return NULL. The list is 0-indexed.

•printList: This method prints out the entire list, starting from the front. If the list is empty, print ”EMPTY LIST” without the quotation marks and a newline at the end. The example output is given below:
       Node 0
       Number of Enemies: 2
       Reward: Boots of Healing
       Enemy 1: Imp
       Enemy 2: Imp
       Node 1
       Number of Enemies: 2
       Reward: Sword of Revealing Light
       Enemy 1: Mancubus
       Enemy 2: Hell Knight

•printSummaryOfList: This method is a more sophisticated type of print. Instead of merely printing out of the full information of the list, it aggregates and collates the information from the list into a more easily readable report. If the list is empty,
print ”EMPTY LIST” without the quotation marks and a newline at the end. The report determines the following pieces of information:
       1.The number of nodes in the list.
       2.The number of enemies, in total in the list.
       3.The number of rewards which are healing to the player, that is if the reward has Healing or Health in its name. You can assume that the case will match the specific form of Healing or Health.
Therefore the output of this print operation takes the form (considering the prior example as the list):

       Number of Nodes: 2
       Number of Enemies: 4
       Number of Healing Rewards: 1

You are only allowed the use of the following libraries: string and iostream.

Write a checkbook balancing program. The program will read in, from the console, the following for all checks that were not cashed as of the last time you balanced your checkbook: the number of each check (int), the amount of the check (double), and whether or not it has been cashed (1 or 0, boolean in the array). Use an array with the class as the type. The class should be a class for a check. There should be three member variables to record the check number, the check amount, and whether or not the check was cashed. So, you will have a class used within a class. The class for a check should have accessor and mutator functions as
well as constructors and functions for both input and output of a check. In addition to the checks, the program also reads all the deposits (from the console; cin), the old and the new account balance (read this in from the user at the console; cin). You may want another array to hold the deposits. The new account balance should be the old balance plus all deposits, minus all checks that have been cashed.

The program outputs the total of the checks cashed, the total of the deposits, what the new balance should be, and how much this figure differs from what the bank says the new balance is. It also outputs two lists of checks: the checks cashed since the last time you balanced your checkbook and the checks still not cashed. [ edit: if you can, Display both lists of checks in sorted order from lowest to highest check number.]

A European growth mutual fund specializes in stocks from the British Isles, continental Europe, and Scandinavia....

A European growth mutual fund specializes in stocks from the British Isles, continental Europe, and Scandinavia. The fund has over 125 stocks. Let x be a random variable that represents the monthly percentage return for this fund. Suppose x has mean ? = 1.2% and standard deviation ? = 1.4%.

(a) Let's consider the monthly return of the stocks in the fund to be a sample from the population of monthly returns of all European stocks. Is it reasonable to assume that x (the average monthly return on the 125 stocks in the fund) has a distribution that is approximately normal? Explain.

---Select--- Yes No , x is a mean of a sample of n = 125 stocks. By the  ---Select--- law of large numbers theory of normality central limit theorem , the x distribution  ---Select--- is is not approximately normal.


(b) After 9 months, what is the probability that the average monthly percentage return x will be between 1% and 2%? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)


(c) After 18 months, what is the probability that the average monthly percentage return x will be between 1% and 2%? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)


(d) Compare your answers to parts (b) and (c). Did the probability increase as n (number of months) increased? Why would this happen?

Yes, probability increases as the mean increases.Yes, probability increases as the standard deviation decreases.     Yes, probability increases as the standard deviation increases.No, the probability stayed the same.


(e) If after 18 months the average monthly percentage return x is more than 2%, would that tend to shake your confidence in the statement that ? = 1.2%? If this happened, do you think the European stock market might be heating up? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
P(x > 2%) =  

Explain.

This is very unlikely if ? = 1.2%. One would suspect that the European stock market may be heating up.This is very unlikely if ? = 1.2%. One would not suspect that the European stock market may be heating up.     This is very likely if ? = 1.2%.
