Program that does conversions (i.e. decimal to hexadecimal, binary to decimal) but needs to have a drop down menu to give you the option to choose with conversion you want to go from and convert into (JOptionPane). Cannot use the conversion tool that is built-in Java. Need to use equations or some sort. Please include comments on what is happening to understand.

1. The romantic image of “community” is “gemeinschaft”—where everyone at the table has similar backgrounds and values. How can strong ties and social capital be built in a diverse community (“gesellschaft”)? Choose two unrelated groups in your area and brainstorm ways you could work to increase networks and shared values to create a greater social capital.

True or False if false state why:

While she initially committed to becoming a nun and serving the poor, Austrian Catholic immigrant descendant Philadelphian Katherine Drexel soon found her vow of poverty to be tiresome, and she subsequently returned to her life of wealth and privilege in Philadelphia and built a spectacular mansion with all of her millions. ____

In MATLAB define a function named primes that takes a non-negative integer, ?, as its only argument and returns a row vector containing the first ? prime numbers in order. Assume that the first prime number is 2.  Other than the zeros function, the ones function, and the colon (:) operator, you may not use any Matlab built-in array functions.

Design a Ship class that the following members: A field for the name of the ship (a string). A field for the year that the ship was built (a string). A constructor and appropriate accessors and mutators. A toString method that displays the ship’s name and the year it was built. Design a CruiseShip class that extends the Ship class. The CruiseShip class should have the following members: A field for the maximum number of passengers (an int). A constructor and appropriate accessors and mutators. A toString method that overrides the toString method in the base class. The CruiseShip class’s toString method should display only the ship’s name and the maximum number of passengers. Design a CargoShip class that extends the Ship class. The CargoShip class should have the following members: A field for the cargo capacity in tonnage (an int). A constructor and appropriate accessors and mutators. A toString method that overrides the toString method in the base class. The CargoShip class’s toString method should display only the ship’s name and the ship’s cargo capacity.

I need user input aka asking the user to input a ship name, the number of passengers, and the year.

Nonparametric Methods
In this assignment, we will use the following nonparametric methods:

• The Wilcoxon signed-rank test: The Wilcoxon signed-rank test is the nonparametric test analog of the paired t-test.
• The Wilcoxon rank-sum test or the Mann-Whitney U test: The Wilcoxon rank-sum test is an analog to the two-sample t-test for independent samples.

Part 1: Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test

Let's take a hypothetical situation. The World Health Organization (WHO) wants to investigate whether building irrigation systems in an African region helped reduce the number of new cases of malaria and increased the public health level.

Data was collected for the following variables from ten different cities of Africa:

• The number of new cases of malaria before the irrigation systems were built
• The number of new cases of malaria after the irrigation systems were built

Table 1: Cases of Malaria

Using the Minitab statistical analysis program to enter the data and perform the analysis, complete the following:

• Run a sample Wilcoxon signed-rank test to show whether there is a statistically significant difference between the number of cases before and after the irrigation systems were built.
• Obtain the rank-sum.
• Determine the significance of the difference between the groups.
• Determine whether building these systems helped reduce new cases of malaria.
• In a Microsoft Word document, provide a written interpretation of your results.
