5. [2 marks] Can we do better than this? Recall that the human player is at some fixed location (px, py). Your task is to work out how you would sort the array A so that those enemy AIs that need to be marked can be identified in log(N) time.Specifically, complete the following comparison function that would be used while sorting the array A. Here, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points from the array A. The function should return true if it considers the first point to be less than or equal to the second, and should return false otherwise. Your function can use the player’s coordinate (px, py) as global variables, i.e. you are allowed to refer to px and py in your function。 Function LessOrEqualTo((x1, y1),(x2, y2))

We all know there are different classifications of joints within the human body (e.g. ball and socket, hinge, pivot, fibrous, etc.). Why the variety? What if the joints between skull bones had more flexibility? It could be beneficial in the event of brain bleeds/swelling, right? Please give me an example or two of a specific joint, name its classification, and explain the current function and why that joint type is a good or poor fit for that body part/location/function/movement. Then imagine a different joint type in its place that would improve, or change, the current function/movement. You may substitute with a known joint type, invent your own joint type, or create a hybrid; it’s up to you.

The bystander effect captures a shadowy side of human nature. It may have contributed to atrocities such as the Holocaust and witch hunts. It may have its roots in childhood with those who watch bullying without intervening. Discuss the bystander effect utilizing the links below or recent news stories. Include in your discussion: One factor that might increase the chances of helping another One factor that might decrease the likelihood that a person in need will receive help. Note that it was the bystander intervention that saved the life of the 13 year old girl in the news link below. Likewise, recently in the Newark bus crash, bystanders attempted to rescue victims. Likewise helping behavior was noted in the mall when a woman on crutches dropped her papers.

Perspectives of Psychology Goal of assignment: identify and understand the different perspectives in understanding human behavior.
Case: Patient grew up with parents who didn’t divorce but fought a lot. Patient is having trouble in a relationship with an overpowering partner. Patient is failing out of school, can’t get out of bed in the mornings for classes, and is overwhelmed with decision making. Patient does not have a good support system outside of partner. Patient reports feeling depressed and anxious. Assign a name (make one up) and gender to the patient in the above case. Now, imagine the patient’s lifestyle, culture, neighborhood, relatives, etc. (be creative). Imagine the patient’s story. We have a panel of experts, each with a different contemporary perspective, who will be given the case based on your story. Quote each expert’s opinion on the underlying reason for Patient’s current functioning. Limit your writing to 3-4 sentences per perspective. Be clear and concise. Identify the perspective and then explain. Here’s an example: • Evolutionary View “Well, this is clearly a matter of survival of the fittest - poor adaptation and weak survival instincts. Those who are capable of dealing with the stressors will go on to do well academically and in relationships and enable the survival of their genes. Some people thrive and other collapse under stress, as in Max’s case.”

Diversity in Psychology
Why is diversity in the field of psychology important? I already know that it is good to get different perspectives, so you can’t say that. Sometimes, this can be a sensitive topic. Often, it’s because people don’t stop to think about the real value of meaningful diversity – not to fill quotas. Write 3-4 sentences on this issue depicting your understanding.

Lester Hollar is vice president for human resources for a large manufacturing company. In recent years, he has noticed an increase in absenteeism that he thinks is related to the general health of the employees. Years ago, in an attempt to improve the situation, he began a fitness program in which employees exercise during their lunch hour. To evaluate the program, he selected a random sample of eight participants and found the number of days each was absent in the six months before the exercise program began and in the last six months. Below are the results. Use a 0.05 significance level and determine if it is reasonable to conclude that the number of absences has decline? Use this information to solve the following questions.
A. What is the null hypothesis statement for this problem?
B. What is the alternative hypothesis statement for this problem?
C. What is alpha for this analysis?
D. What is the most appropriate test for this problem? (choose one of the following)
a. t-Test: Paired Two Sample for Means
b. t-Test: Two-Sampled Assuming Equal Variances
c. t-Test: Two-Sample Assuming Unequal Variances

a. Yes
b. No

Bobsy the Human Pretzel, a world-famous contortionist, entered into a contract on December 1, 2018 to perform at the Omaha State Fair during the month of January, 2019. Alan, the organizer of the fair, advertised that Bobsy would be performing and received purchases for many tickets to the Omaha State Fair in advance. In December 10, 2018, Noland, the owner and director of the “Museum of the Strange and Unusual,” knew of Bobsy’s contract with Alan, and offered Bobsy more money and a private jet, among other things, to convince Bobsy to perform at his museum in January, 2019 instead of performing at the Omaha State Fair. On December 15, 2018, Bobsy contacted Alan and told him that he would not be performing at the State Fair but would be performing at the “Museum of the Strange and Unusual” instead. After Alan found out this information, he filed suit against Bobsy.
(a) If Alan sued Bobsy, demanding specific performance of the contract, who wins? Explain fully.
(b) If Alan sought an injunction against Bobsy to stop him from performing at the Museum of the Strange and Unusual, who wins? Explain fully.
(c) If Alan sued Bobsy for breach of contract and demands damages, what damages if any, may Alan recover?
(d) After Bobsy sorts out the legal issues with the Omaha State Fair, he signs a contract with the Museum of the Strange and Unusual to perform in April, 2019. While in the shower, Bobsy decides to prepare for the show by performing the very basic contortionist move, “back bend ending in pretzel.’ He slips and breaks one of his legs and severely injures his back. (side note: a contortionist is an entertainer who twists and bends their body into strange and unnatural positions.) After being stabilized in the hospital, Bobsy immediately contacts Noland and tells him what happened. Noland tells Bobsy, “Sorry to hear that, its going to be very hard for you to perform with those injuries. Can’t wait to see you pull it off!” When Bobsy refuses to abide by the contract, Noland sues Bobsy for breach of contract, judgment for whom? Explain fully.
