The average length of time customers spent on waiting at ABC
Store’s check-out counter before a new P.O.S. system was installed
was 4.3 minutes. A sample of 40 customers randomly selected at the
check-out counter after the new P.O.S. system was installed showed
that the average waiting time was 3.5 minutes with a sample
standard deviation of 2.8 minutes. We wish to determine if the
average waiting time after the P.O.S. system was installed is less
than 4.3 minutes.
1. State the null and alternative hypotheses to be tested. (2 Points)
2. Compute the test statistic. (2 Points)
3. Determine the critical value for this test at the 0.05 level of significance. (2 Points)
4. What do you conclude at the 0.05 level of significance? (2 Points)
5. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the average waiting time after the new P.O.S. system was installed.

Blocks A (mass 3.00 kg ) and B (mass 14.00 kg , to the right of A) move on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Initially, block B is moving to the left at 0.500 m/s and block A is moving to the right at 2.00 m/s. The blocks are equipped with ideal spring bumpers. The collision is headon, so all motion before and after it is along a straight line. Let +x be the direction of the initial motion of A.
Part A) Find the maximum energy stored in the spring bumpers.
Part B) Find the velocity of block A when the energy stored in the spring bumpers is maximum
Part C) Find the velocity of block B when the energy stored in the spring bumpers is maximum.
Part D) Find the velocity of block A after the blocks have moved apart.
Part E) Find the velocity of block B after the blocks have moved apart.

In C# please and thanks so much,
Create an Employee class with five fields: first name, last name, workID, yearStartedWked, and initSalary. It includes constructor(s) and properties to initialize values for all fields.
Create an interface, SalaryCalculate, class that includes two functions: first,CalcYearWorked() function, it takes one parameter (currentyear) and calculates the number of year the worker has been working. The second function, CalcCurSalary() function that calculates the current year salary.
Create a Worker classes that is derived from Employee and SalaryCalculate class.
Create a Manager class that is derived from Worker class.
Write an application that reads the workers and managers information from files (“worker.txt” and “manager.txt”) and then creates the dynamic arrays of objects. Prompt the user for current year and display the workers’ and managers’ current information in separate groups: first and last name, ID, the year he/she has been working, and current salary.
Please make streamreader read text from file and the new line so that the text files stay original.

Language is C# (i've got some code but it seems to not run correctly, would love a new take)
Create an Employee class with five fields: first name, last name, workID, yearStartedWked, and initSalary. It includes constructor(s) and properties to initialize values for all fields. Create an interface, SalaryCalculate, class that includes two functions: first,CalcYearWorked() function, it takes one parameter (currentyear) and calculates the number of year the worker has been working. The second function, CalcCurSalary() function that calculates the current year salary. Create a Worker classes that is derived from Employee and SalaryCalculate class. In Worker class, it includes two field, nYearWked and curSalary, and constructor(s). It defines the CalcYearWorked() function using (current year – yearStartedWked) and save it in the nYearWked variable. It also defines the CalcCurSalary() function that calculates the current year salary by using initial salary with 3% yearly increment. Create a Manager class that is derived from Worker class. In Manager class, it includes one field: yearPromo and constructor(s). Itincludes a CalcCurSalary function that calculate the current year salary by overriding the base class function using initial salary with 5% yearly increment plus 10% bonus. The manager’s salary calculates in two parts. It calculates as a worker before the year promoted and as a manager after the promotion. Write an application that reads the workers and managers information from files (“worker.txt” and “manager.txt”) and then creates the dynamic arrays of objects. Prompt the user for current year and display the workers’ and managers’ current information in separate groups: first and last name, ID, the year he/she has been working, and current salary.
