Americans often think of themselves as quite diverse in their political opinions, within the continuum of liberal to conservative. Let’s use data from the 2006 GSS to investigate the diversity of political views. The percentage distribution shown displays respondents’ self-rating of their political position.

What is the IQV for this variable?

Given the following timed data, convert mL 0.04 M NaOH to concentration of HCl, [HCl]_t, in 10 mL aliquots of the reaction of t-butyl chloride in isopropanol/water. Then convert [HCl]_t to concentration of t-butyl chloride, [RX]_t. Using a program such as Microsoft Excel, plot (Scatter Chart) time versus natural log of concentration of t-butyl chloride at time zero over concentration of t-butyl chloride at each time, ln([RX]₀/[RX]_t). Determine the slope of your plot as instructed in this video. The slope is the rate constant of first order kinetics as given by equation 20.2 of your text. This is equivalent to Figure 20.1 of your text but we don't have to use the factor 2.303, ln(10), because we are using natural versus base 10 logs. Before the advent of calculators, people actually used tables to look up log₁₀ values! Hint: [RX]₀ = ? so that [RX]_t = [RX]₀ - [HCl]_t which is the equation at the bottom of page 322 of your text?

Give only 2 significant digits without units or any other symbol. Do not use scientific notation!

Answer:

Write a C++ program that involves implementing the RSA cryptosystem. In practice for the encryption to be secure and to handle larger messages you would need to utilize a class for large integers. However, for this assignment you can use built-in types to store integers, e.g., unsigned long long int. Also, rather than using the ASCII table for this assignment use BEARCATII, which restricts the characters to the blank character and the lower-case letters of the alphabet as follows: blank character is assigned the value 0. A, …, Z are assigned the values 1, …, 26, respectively. The message M will be represented by replacing each character in the message with its assigned integer base 27. For example, the message M = “TEST” will be represented as N = 20 5 19 20 Translating this to decimal we obtain: D = 20 + 19*27 + 5*272 + 20*273 = 397838 Note that to convert back to base 27, we simply apply the algorithm we discussed in class, i.e., the least significant digit (rightmost) is obtained by performing the operations D mod 27 and performing a recursive call with D/27. For the example above we obtain, 397838 / 27, 397838 mod 27 = 14734, 20 → 14734 / 27, 14734 mod 27, 20 = 545, 19, 20 → 545/27, 545 mod 20, 19, 20 = 20, 5, 19, 20 = N Find primes p and q by choosing positive integers at random and testing for primality using Miller-Rabin probabilistic algorithm. Your program should prompt the user to input a positive integer representing the public key e. If the user enters a number that is not relatively prime to n = pq, then have the user reenter and keep doing this until e and n are coprime, i.e., gcd(e,φ(n)) = 1. Also prompt the user to enter the message M (as a character string). For handing purposes, run your program with M = “TEST”. Output p, q, n, M, C, P where C is the encrypted message, i.e., cyber text, and P is the decrypted message, i.e., plaintext. If your program is working correctly then M should be equal to P.

Business sensor technology provides a way for companies to learn about their customers, employees, and operations: data captured from sensors can be used to improve engagement, Sales, productivity, safety, and much more. A PwC survey of Global business and IT executives found that 25% of automotive executives: 27% of energy, utilities, and mining executives, 30% of hospitality and leisure executives; 33% of industrial products executives; and 52% of retail and consumer executives say their companies are currently investing in business sensor technology.

Suppose these results were based on 500 business and IT executives in each of the five industries: Automotive, Energy, Utilities, and Mining; Hospitality and Leisure; industrial products; and Retail and consumer.

A) at the 0.05 level of significance is there evidence of a difference among the industries with respect to the proportion of executives that say their companies are currently investing in business sensor technology?

B) Compute the p-value and interpret its meaning.

C) If appropriate, use the Marascuilo procedure and a= 0.05 to determine which companies differ in their currently investing in business sensor technology.

The Downtown Parking Authority of Tampa, Florida, reported the following information for a sample of 231 customers on the number of hours cars are parked and the amount they are charged.

The following data lists age (x, in years) and FICO credit score (y) for 15 random credit card customers. At the 10% significance level, use Excel to test the claim that age and credit score are linearly related by specifying the slope estimate, p-value and final conclusion below. Do not round any intermediate calculations. Round your slope estimate answer to 2 decimal places. Round your p-value to 4 decimal places. Enter a "−" sign in front of any negative answer.

Slope estimate =

p-value =

Final conclusion:

The data does not support the claim that age and credit score are linearly related.

The data supports the claim that age and credit score are linearly related.

A French firm enters into a two-year interest rate swap in euros on April 1, 2005. The swap is based on a principal of €80 million, and the firm will receive 7% fixed and pay six-month Euribor. Swap payments are semiannual. The 7% fixed rate is quoted as an annual rate using the European method, so the implied semiannual coupon is 3.44% [since (1.0344)2 = 1.07]. Two years later, the swap is finally settled, and the following Euribor rates have been observed: Apr. 1, 2005 Oct. 1, 2005 Apr. 1, 2006 Oct. 1, 2006 Apr. 1, 2007 5.5% 6.5% 7.5% 8% 6.5%

(a) What have the swap payments or receipts for the firm been on each swap payment date?

(b)The same French firm also entered another two-year interest rate swap in euros on April 1, 2005. The swap is based on a principal of €80 million, and the firm contracted to receive 7% fixed and pay six-month Euribor. On this swap, the payments are annual. Hence, the two successive six-month Euribor are compounded. Assuming that the Euribor rates given in the previous problem (5a) have been observed, what have the two annual swap payments been?
