chief Complaint: 40-year-old man with a cough and dyspnea. History: Joe Butt, a 40-year-old white male with a 52-pack-year smoking history suffered from chronic bronchitis. For the last several months he has been on an antibiotics treatment. Three weeks ago, his otherwise normal smoker’s cough started producing bloody sputum ("hemoptysis"). In the past week Joe has become increasingly short of breath ("dyspnea"). A routine chest X-ray revealed a couple of quarter-sized opacities in his right lung around the alveoli. Bronchoscopic examination revealed the tumors were nearly occluding two major bronchioles in his right lung. A bronchial biopsy revealed the diagnosis: bronchogenic carcinoma. Questions: 1. What is "bronchogenic carcinoma"? What medical professional most likely confirmed the nature of the biopsy? 2. Describe the structure of the bronchial epithelium. How many layers of cells make up this tissue? 3. Describe what the “mucociliary escalator" is and it’s function in the respiratory system. 4. What two conditions do you think have led to Joe experiencing a shortness of breath ("dyspnea")? 5. What is the most likely or common way that this type of cancer may metastasize (i.e. spreading to other parts of the body)?

You just got a job with Bling, Inc. The company distributes bracelets to various retail outlets across the country. In the past, the company hasn’t done budgeting and they run short on cash periodically.

Because your wonderful Cost Accounting teacher prepared you so well, you decided to prepare comprehensive budgets for the second quarter in order to show management the benefits. You included other departments in your decision making process and have gathered the information below.

     The company sells many styles of bracelets, but they are all sold for $16 each. Actual sales of bracelets in units for the last three months and budgeted sales are below:

  January (actual)

22,000

  June (budget)

52,000

  February (actual)

28,000

  July (budget)

32,000

  March (actual)

42,000

  August (budget)

30,000

  April (budget)

67,000

  September (budget)

27,000

  May (budget)

102,000

The increase in sales before and during May is due to Mother’s Day. Bling, Inc. wants to make sure they have enough inventory on hand at the end of each month to supply 40% of the bracelets sold in the following month.

     Manufacturers are paid $5 for each bracelet. 50% of a month’s purchases are paid for in the month of purchase; the remainder is paid for in the following month. All credit sales are due (without discount), with no discount, in15 days. Based on history, Bling, Inc. has found, that only 20% of a month’s sales are collected in the month of sale. 70% is collected in the following month, and the remaining 10% is collected in the second month following sale. Bad debts have been immaterial and can be ignored.

Monthly operating expenses for the company are given below:

Insurance is paid in November of each year and covers a 12 month period.

     The company expects to buy $21,000 in new, better equipment in May and $50,000 in new equipment in June. The new equipment purchases in both months will be paid in cash. The company declares dividends of $22,500 each quarter, payable in the first month of the following quarter.

     Bling, Inc. will always maintain a minimum cash amount of $60,000. All borrowing is always done at the beginning of a month; all repayments (if any and able) are made at the end of the month.

     The company can borrow in increments of $1,000 at the beginning of each month. The interest rate is 1% per month (assume no compounding interest). At the end of the quarter, the company would pay the bank all of the accumulated interest on the loan and as much of the loan as possible (in increments of $1,000), while maintaining their minimum cash balance.

Intro to Python

I'm getting trouble obtaining the solution for the following questions:

"How many babies were born with names starting with that least-common letter?" For the file used it is "U"

"How many babies were born with names starting with that-common letter"? For the file used it is "A"

"How many people have that name?" (This follows the question "By default, the Social Security Administration's data separates out names by gender. For example, Jamie is listed separately for girls and for boys. If you were to remove this separation, what would be the most common name in the 2010s regardless of gender?" And the file I used it is "Isabella")

"What name that is used for both genders has the smallest difference in which gender holds the name most frequently? In case of a tie, enter any one of the correct answers."

This is the problem:

#-----------------------------------------------------------
#The United States Social Security Administration publishes
#a list of all documented baby names each year, along with
#how often each name was used for boys and for girls. The
#list is used to see what names are most common in a given
#year.
#
#We've grabbed that data for any name used more than 25
#times, and provided it to you in a file called
#babynames.csv. The line below will open the file:

names_file = open('../resource/lib/public/babynames.csv', 'r')

#We've also provided a sample subset of the data in
#sample.csv.
#
#Each line of the file has three values, separated by
#commas. The first value is the name; the second value is
#the number of times the name was given in the 2010s (so
#far); and the third value is whether that count
#corresponds to girls or boys. Note that if a name is
#given to both girls and boys, it is listed twice: for
#example, so far in the 2010s, the name Jamie has been
#given to 611 boys and 1545 girls.
#
#Use this dataset to answer the questions below.


#Here, add any code you want to allow you to answer the
#questions asked below over on edX. This is just a sandbox
#for you to explore the dataset: nothing is required for
#submission here.

//

This is the format of the file but this is not file the problem is based on:

Isabella,42567,Girl
Sophia,42261,Girl
Jacob,42164,Boy
Emma,35951,Girl
Ethan,34523,Boy
Mason,34195,Boy
William,34130,Boy
Olivia,34128,Girl
Jayden,33962,Boy
Ava,30765,Girl
