Determine if a 9 x 9 Sudoku board is valid. Only the filled cells need to be validated according to the following rules:

1. Each row must contain the digits 1-9 without repetition.
2. Each column must contain the digits 1-9 without repetition.
3. Each of the nine 3 x 3 sub-boxes of the grid must contain the digits 1-9 without repetition.

class Solution {
public boolean isValidSudoku(char[][] board) {
  
}
}

Note:

• A Sudoku board (partially filled) could be valid but is not necessarily solvable.
• Only the filled cells need to be validated according to the mentioned rules.

Example 1:

Input: board = 
[["5","3",".",".","7",".",".",".","."]
,["6",".",".","1","9","5",".",".","."]
,[".","9","8",".",".",".",".","6","."]
,["8",".",".",".","6",".",".",".","3"]
,["4",".",".","8",".","3",".",".","1"]
,["7",".",".",".","2",".",".",".","6"]
,[".","6",".",".",".",".","2","8","."]
,[".",".",".","4","1","9",".",".","5"]
,[".",".",".",".","8",".",".","7","9"]]
Output: true

Example 2:

Input: board = 
[["8","3",".",".","7",".",".",".","."]
,["6",".",".","1","9","5",".",".","."]
,[".","9","8",".",".",".",".","6","."]
,["8",".",".",".","6",".",".",".","3"]
,["4",".",".","8",".","3",".",".","1"]
,["7",".",".",".","2",".",".",".","6"]
,[".","6",".",".",".",".","2","8","."]
,[".",".",".","4","1","9",".",".","5"]
,[".",".",".",".","8",".",".","7","9"]]
Output: false
Explanation: Same as Example 1, except with the 5 in the top left corner being modified to 8. Since there are two 8's in the top left 3x3 sub-box, it is invalid.

Constraints:

• board.length == 9
• board[i].length == 9
• board[i][j] is a digit or '.'.

The accompanying data are the number of wins and the earned run averages (mean number of earned runs allowed per nine innings pitched) for eight baseball pitchers in a recent season. Find the equation of the regression line. Then construct a scatter plot of the data and draw the regression line. Then use the regression equation to predict the value of y for each of the given x-values. If meaningful. If the x-value is not meaningful to predict the value of y, explain why not. (a) x=5 wins (b) x=10 wins (c) x=21 wins (d) x=15 wins

The equation of the regression line is y= ? x+? (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Kitchen Supply, Inc. (KSI), manufactures three types of flatware: institutional, standard, and silver. It applies all indirect costs according to a predetermined rate based on direct labor-hours. A consultant recently suggested that the company switch to an activity-based costing system and prepared the following cost estimates for year 2 for the recommended cost drivers.

In addition, management estimated 7,100 direct labor-hours for year 2.

Assume that the following cost driver volumes occurred in January, year 2.

Actual labor costs were $15 per hour.

Required:

a.

(1) Compute a predetermined overhead rate for year 2 for each cost driver using the estimated costs and estimated cost driver units prepared by the consultant.
(2) Compute a predetermined rate for year 2 using direct labor-hours as the allocation base.

b. Compute the production costs for each product for January using direct labor-hours as the allocation base and the predetermined rate computed in requirement a(2).

c. Compute the production costs for each product for January using the cost drivers recommended by the consultant and the predetermined rates computed in requirement a. (Note: Do not assume that total overhead applied to products in January will be the same for activity-based costing as it was for the labor-hour-based allocation.)

Compute a predetermined overhead rate for year 2 for each cost driver using the estimated costs and estimated cost driver units prepared by the consultant. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Compute a predetermined rate for year 2 using direct labor-hours as the allocation base

Compute the production costs for each product for January using direct labor-hours as the allocation base and the predetermined rate computed in requirement a(2). (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

A researcher is interested in whether the phonics method of teaching reading is more or less effective than the sight method, depending on what grade the child is in. Twenty children were randomly selected from each of three grades: kindergarten (K), first grade (1), and second grade. Achievement was measured in terms of reading comprehension where higher scores indicate better comprehension. Within each grade, 10 children were assigned to each of two methods of teaching reading - phonics or sight. The data are as follows: Grade Levels K 1 2 K 1 2 14 25 49 17 35 34 20 29 49 22 36 33 16 27 46 19 40 34 Sight 21 31 46 Phonics 20 34 39 20 27 44 26 37 38 14 34 43 18 41 33 21 32 50 26 42 35 23 34 43 18 33 42 14 35 48 25 34 42 15 28 52 23 43 38 a. State the Null hypotheses for each main effect and interaction – 5 points a. The different methods for teaching reading do not show a significant difference. b. Present the means and SD for each level of each factor– 5 points c. Test the null hypothesis for both main effects and interactions and present the ANOVA source table with all relevant statistics– 15 points. Tests of Between-Subjects ANOVA source Table Dependent Variable: RC Source Type III Sum of Squares df Mean Square F Sig. Partial Eta Squared method grade method * grade Error Total Corrected Total a. R Squared = (Adjusted R Squared = . Sig = 0 means p is < .001. SPSS takes out the probability value to 8 decimals. So, reporting Sig as .000 means the probability (p) is less than or below the .001 level. d. Specify all variables– 5 points. e. Compute, report and explain results from the HSD post hoc follow-up test– 10 points.. f. Present a graph of the interaction of the two factors– 5 points. g.

An article in the Journal of Aircraft (Vol. 23, 1986, pp.859–864) described a new equivalent plate analysis method formulation that is capable of modeling aircraft structures such as cranked wing boxes and that produces results similar to the more computationally intensive finite element analysis method. Natural vibration frequencies for the cranked wing box structure are calculated using both methods, and results for the first seven natural frequencies follow:

Frequency Finite Element, Cycle/s Equivalent Plate, Cycle/s
1 14.58 14.76
2 48.52 49.10
3 97.22 99.99
4 113.99 117.53
5 174.73 181.22
6 212.72 220.14
7 277.38 294.80
a. Do the data suggest that the two methods provide the same mean value for natural vibration frequency? Use α = 0.05. Find the P-value.

b. Find a 95% confidence interval on the mean difference between the two methods.

c. State your assumptions for this problem.

Please answer only C, answer for a and b is still appreciated.

The Pinkerton Publishing Company is considering two independent expansion plans. Plan A calls for the expenditure of $50 million on a large-scale, integrated plant that will provide an expected cash flow stream of $9 million per year for 8 years. Plan B calls for the expenditure of $28 million to build a somewhat less efficient, more labor-intensive plant that has an expected cash flow stream of $ 5 million per year for 8 years.

Prepare Job-Order Cost Sheets, Predetermined Overhead Rate, Ending Balance of WIP, Finished Goods, and COGS

At the beginning of June, Donewell Company had two jobs in process, Job 44 and Job 45, with the following accumulated cost information:

During June, two more jobs (46 and 47) were started. The following direct materials and direct labour costs were added to the four jobs during the month of June:

At the end of June, Jobs 44, 45, and 47 were completed. Only Job 45 was sold. On June 1, the balance in Finished Goods was zero.

Required:

1. Calculate the overhead rate based on direct labour cost. Round the percentage to the nearest whole number. For example, .6372 would be rounded to 64%.
%

2. Prepare a brief job-order cost sheet for the four jobs. Show the balance as of June 1 as well as direct materials and direct labour added in June. Apply overhead to the four jobs for the month of June, and show the ending balances. Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar. For those boxes in which no entry is required, enter "0".

3. Calculate the ending balances of Work in Process and Finished Goods as of June 30. Round your answers to the nearest dollar.
