Q: (LU decomposition) Find the LU decomposition of A = [-3 2 5 1; 12 -4 -20 -2; -6 0 15 1; -9 6 35 4]. You can use the compact method which works within a single matrix or you can build L and U separately. State L and U explicitly, and verify (in Matlab) that A = L*U. Hint: Matlab's built-in lu function isn't useful, since it pivots.

Please re-order the steps below to accurately represent the events that occur during transcription and translation.

1. mRNA is sent out into the cytoplasm where it will bind with a ribosome

2. Helicase "unzips" DNA by breaking the hydrogen bonds between base pairs

3. The ribosome reads the mRNA 3-letters at a time

4. The tRNA that matches the code brings in the Amino Acids to add to the protein being built

5. RNA Polymerase starts building mRNA from 5' to 3' and replaces Thymine with Uracil

1. Data were collected on number of credit hours earned from a random sample of 40 JMU students. The mean was 57.2 and the standard deviation was 8.9. Conduct a test to determine whether the true mean number of credit hours earned differs from 55.0, allowing a Type I error rate of 0.05. Assume that the distribution of the number of credit hours earned is normal. Show your full work. You may not use your calculator’s built-in function.

Alex the Builder, used Joe’s elbow joints on a job in Westport. Alex’s employee, Mark, was testing the plumbing by turning on the hot water full blast. The joint broke and a part of it lodged in Mark’s eye. In addition, his face was scalded by the hot water. The entire first floor of the newly built house had water damage because several other of Joe’s elbow joints failed.

Explain how Mark’s can seek damages from Alex and Joe.

Using C++

Write a program that reads a text from the keyboard until the user presses the “Enter” key. Your program must count the number of uppercase alphabets (A through Z), lowercase alphabets (a through z), digits (0 through 9) and any other characters. The other character count value should NOT include the “Enter” key. Display the count on the screen. You must use the in-built C++ character I/O functions in this program.

please type it. . We need to work on your sentence structures and how many ideas are in 1 sentence. Also, there are some phrasing issues but this is okay for now. You have ideas but they need to be written a bit more academically. For example, I need a thesis statement in the introduction. I need clear topic sentences. Try not to write as if you are talking, in the present moment. The conclusion should be a summary of what you just proposed on how they will make a contract and have some positive info, which you do have already. I just need to see more of an academic structure.

_{You need to write 5-8 sentences per paragraph for a total of 20-32 sentences overall.}

Introduction paragraph 1: The thesis statement is usually the last sentence of the introductory
paragraph: This paper is going to discuss how Ms. Adelle Dubois will convince the Saudis
management team to agree to a French and Saudi ballet performance and contract.
Topic sentence

for paragraph 2: Ms. Adelle Dubois will need to respect the local Saudi traditions
when negotiating a contact with the Saudi management team.
Topic sentence

for paragraph 3: To convince the Saudi management team, Ms. Dubois will need to
address the Saudis concern for the French women’s dance attire and whether the dancers may
include male dancers or not.
Topic sentence

for paragraph 4 (conclusion): In conclusion, the success of Ms. Dubois’s contract
depends greatly upon her intercultural communication and persuasion skills.

Case 1: A French firm, The Paris Opera Ballet, sent its senior-level manager, Ms. Adelle Dubois, to
opening discussions to negotiate a performance contract with The Theater of King Fahd Cultural
Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The discussion will address how the dancers from France will be able
to perform with the Saudi dancers in Saudi Arabia. Briefly, discuss the cultural values of each culture
in a business context. Mention the language used for communication between the two parties.
How will Ms. Dubois convince the Theater of King Fahd to accept her offer and have both the French
and Saudi dancers perform together?

In the introduction, describe the situation and add a thesis statement. In the body of the essay,

paragraph 2 discuss how Ms. Dubois will learn about the Saudi culture.

In paragraph 3, discuss how
Ms. Dubois will address the Saudis concerns about the French women’s dance attire and whether
the dancers may include men or not. In the conclusion, provide a summary reiterating the
advantages Ms. Dubois may cultivate in order to seal the contract.

A recent health report revealed that a woman with insurance spends an average of 2.3 days in the hospital following a routine childbirth, while a woman without insurance spends an average of 1.9 days at the hospital. Two samples of 16 women each were used in both samples. The standard deviation of the first sample is equal to 0.6 day, and the standard deviation of the second sample is 0.3 day. At ?=0.01, test the claim that the means are equal. Find the 99% confidence interval for the differences of the means and compare the result of the hypothesis test to the one for the confidence interval.

A recent agricultural study found that weight of a chicken follows normal distribution with a mean of 2 lbs and standard deviation of 0.3 lbs. Using this information, answer the following questions.

Eric is a farmer who claims that he owns a chicken such that only 1% of all the chickens will be expected to have weights greater than his chicken. What is the weight of Eric’s chicken?

Tom is a farmer who owns 50 chickens. What is the probability that the total weight of all the chickens on Tom’s farm will be greater than 105 lbs?
