3 Campus Travel Game

This lab will practice using loops.

We will construct a short computer game. Please look at the Test Cases for exact wording.

For your game, the player’s goal is to reach campus exactly.

The player starts 14 miles away and has up to 4 turns to reach campus.

At each turn the play can ride either use a Bus, a Subway, or a Jetpack:

• Riding a Bus moves the player forward 2 miles each turn.
• Riding a Subway moves the player forward 5 miles each turn
• Riding a Jetpack moves the player forward 10 mile each turn.

Example:
You are 14 mile(s) from campus!
How do you wish to travel? (1 bus, 2 subway, 3 jetpack) 

The player chooses one.

After each turn, the player is informed how much farther she must travel before reaching campus.

Winning/Losing: After the last turn, if the player has reached campus exactly ("You have won!")

   Otherwise, explain the problem: "You have over-shot your target!" or "You haven't reached your target!"

   And then write “You lose!”

The game will operate as follows:

• Report how far the user is from campus – the player starts 14 mile away
• For each turn:

o Ask user to select transport method (Bus, Subway, or Jetpack)

o Report the user’s new distance from campus

o If the player has reached campus or passed campus and it is not the fourth turn, end the game early – This is a more challenging step! Make sure the rest of your game works before working on this step.

ALSO:

Check that the user input is valid (1-3).

If the user fails to pick a valid number, the program must keep asking the user for a new selection until a valid number is entered. ALSO- you do not lose turns by making an invalid selection.

    Use this wording:      Invalid choice, try again!

Requirements:

• You must use a loop (while, do-while, or for) to loop through the 4 turns. (The loop can include a condition to allow ending early, if you so choose.)
• You must use at least one if or switch statement
• Require the user enters one of three numbers to specify the transport method

Example Output:

You are 14 mile(s) from campus!

How do you wish to travel? (1 bus, 2 subway, 3 jetpack) 2

You are 9 mile(s) from campus!

How do you wish to travel? (1 bus, 2 subway, 3 jetpack) 1

You are 7 mile(s) from campus!

How do you wish to travel? (1 bus, 2 subway, 3 jetpack) 1

You are 5 mile(s) from campus!

How do you wish to travel? (1 bus, 2 subway, 3 jetpack) 2

You are 0 mile(s) from campus!

You have won!

NUR 303 - Nursing Pathophysiology

Unit X Case Study: Hyperthyroid Disease

Patient’s Chief Complaints:

“I was jogging in the park like I do most mornings. Suddenly, I couldn’t catch my breath and I felt very dizzy. When I sat down on a park bench for a minute, I noticed a weird feeling in my chest—like a strong fluttering sensation. I called 911 with my cellular phone and here I am.”

History of Present Illness:

B.G. is a 52 yo man who was brought to the emergency room by paramedics following symptoms of dyspnea, dizziness, and palpitations. When questioned about his recent medical history, he reports a sudden, unintentional loss in weight of approximately 10 pounds over the past two months and nearly 15 pounds over the last four months. “I’ve been eating like an elephant, but I’ve been losing weight,” he reports. A few months ago, he began experiencing palpitations that came and went, but were not associated with chest pain. However, he notes that, sometimes, his “heart seems to beat too fast and too hard” and disproportionate to the activity in which he is engaged. Sometimes, it begins when he is sitting and watching TV or reading a magazine. He has also noticed that it has been “difficult getting some kinds of food down for the past week” and that he “had planned to see a doctor about that soon.”

“My wife also tells me that I have been on edge and a bit short with her lately. I agree that I have not been myself mentally.”

Past Medical History:

• Migraine headaches 9 years

• History of herpes simplex infections on lips and corners of mouth

• HTN 3 years

Family History:

• Paternal grandfather and father diagnosed with prostate cancer; father’s cancer is currently in remission

• Half-sister had “thyroid problems with a goiter”

• Mother had arthritis and hyperthyroid disease

• One brother with type 2 DM who “takes pills”

Social History:

• Married and lives with wife of 30 years

• They had one daughter who was kidnapped and murdered in Aruba 6 months ago. The authorities have made no arrests to date and there are no suspects at this time.

• Works as an auto mechanic

• Previous smoker but quit 11 years ago

• Has an occasional beer with friends

• Denies use of illicit drugs, although he reports history of heroin and cocaine use as a young adult

• Admits to drinking “too much coffee” every day

• Physically very active and jogs 1–2 miles 3 or more days each week; also works out at the gym 1 day/week

Review of Systems:

• (+) occasional insomnia plus increased sensitivity to heat, fatigue, and decreased exercise tolerance for 1 week

• Reports that “hair seems to be falling out faster than usual” for past month

• (-) headache, cough, blurred or double vision, eye pain or sensitivity to light, excessive tearing or discomfort in the eyes, fever or chills, muscle weakness, diarrhea, chest pain, changes in libido or sexual performance, concentration problems, “shakiness,” rashes or other skin lesions, painful swallowing, tenderness/pain in the neck, difficulty with urination, edema, recent fainting spells, and recent respiratory infection

Medications:

• Acetaminophen 500 mg + aspirin 500 mg + caffeine 130 mg PO QD PRN

• Atenolol 25 mg PO QD

• Multivitamin 1 tablet PO QD

Your Competitive Intelligence team reports that a wave of product liability lawsuits is likely to cause Chester to pull the product Cute entirely off the market this year. Assume Chester scraps all capacity and inventory this round, completely writing off those assets and escrowing the proceeds to a settlement fund, and assume these lawsuits will have no effect on any other products of Chester or other companies. Without Chester's product Cute how much can the industry currently produce in the Core segment? Consider only products primarily in the Core segment last year. Ignore current inventories. Figures in thousands (000).

Consider the following multifactor (APT) model of security returns for a particular stock.

a. If T-bills currently offer a 7% yield, find the expected rate of return on this stock if the market views the stock as fairly priced. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

b. Suppose that the market expects the values for the three macro factors given in column 1 below, but that the actual values turn out as given in column 2. Calculate the revised expectations for the rate of return on the stock once the “surprises” become known. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

Greta has risk aversion of A = 5 when applied to return on wealth over a one-year horizon. She is pondering two portfolios, the S&P 500 and a hedge fund, as well as a number of one-year strategies. (All rates are annual and continuously compounded.) The S&P 500 risk premium is estimated at 7% per year, with a standard deviation of 19%. The hedge fund risk premium is estimated at 9% with a standard deviation of 34%. The returns on both of these portfolios in any particular year are uncorrelated with its own returns in other years. They are also uncorrelated with the returns of the other portfolio in other years. The hedge fund claims the correlation coefficient between the annual return on the S&P 500 and the hedge fund return in the same year is zero, but Greta is not fully convinced by this claim.

If the correlation coefficient between annual portfolio returns is actually 0.3, what is the covariance between the returns? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

1.You invest 30% of funding in Stock M and the rest in Stock N. The return on Stock M is 12% and its standard deviation is 7%. The return on Stock N is 25% with a standard deviation of 11%. Assume the two stocks have a correlation coefficient of 0.3. Calculate this portfolio’s return and standard deviation.

2. If you invest your money in 3 stocks: A, B, C. Each stock has a return of 11%,15%, and 21%. Your funding allocation on the stocks is: 30:30:40. Calculate your portfolio return.

3. Suppose you own a portfolio that has a beta risk of 1.2. Treasury bond yield is assumed to be 5%, and the stock market return on average is 11%. What should be your required return on this portfolio if you use CAPM in your estimation? What is the stock market risk premium? What is your portfolio’s risk premium?

Please show work and explain answers.

1. Suppose the data on today’s and future expected interest rates is given:

a) Calculate today’s interest rates on 2-year, 3-year and 4-year bonds using the expectations hypothesis. Use these yields to construct a yield curve and plot it. What kind of shape does it have?

b) Now, suppose term premiums for 2-year, 3-year and 4-year bonds are 0.2%, 0.3% and 0.4%, respectively. Recalculate today’s interest rates on 2-year, 3-year and 4-year bonds using the liquidity premium theory. Use the yields to plot the yield curve on the same graph as expectations hypothesis yield curve from part (a). What do you notice?

1. An industrial area has several companies that use similar chemicals. Groundwater in this area has been found to be contaminated, and several companies are disputing who is responsible. (The responsible party must pay for remediation.) Two of the chemicals used by several companies are TCE and dioxane, but the companies often use different ratios of these chemicals. One company uses 3.6 times more TCE than dioxane, and the standard deviation of the TCE:dioxane ratio in its supply drums was 0.3. This company claims it isn’t responsible for remediation, because the ratio of TCE:dioxane in water samples is different from what the company uses. Samples of groundwater from 12 wells in the area yielded the following TCE:dioxane ratios:

3.1       2.6       4.5       6.2       4.2       3.3       1.2       3.6       5.9       2.7       3.7       3.8      

Can the company “prove” that there is less than a 5% chance that they contributed to the groundwater contamination?   Explain your answer using statistical justification.
