1-Look up the requested values using book tables. You may check with a calculator, but enter the table value.

   Let T denote a t-distribution variable with 14 degrees of freedom. Find:

P(T>1.761)=?

Note: Enter X.XX AT LEAST ONE DIGIT BEFORE THE DECIMAL, TWO AFTER and round up. Thus, 27 is entered as 27.00, 3.5 is entered as 3.50, 0.3750 is entered as 0.38

(1) Covert a Hexadecimal to decimal (there is a video for you to watch too). Then write a program that can convert a binary to decimal (only for integer case).

a) Directly use Java built-in method to do this. In this case, only couple lines of code. Hint: Study Integer class in Java.

b) Write your own code to convert a binary to decimal from scratch. The input is a binary string. The program output is its corresponding decimal value. This way you need to design the algorithm.

The value of f depends on two independent variables x and y as defined below:

f(x,y)=x2+y2−x+3cos(x)sin(y)

Function f has a minimum in the neighborhood of the origin (i.e. [0 0]). Find x and y which minimize f.

Note: You are not allowed to use MATLAB built-in functions for optimization. Follow the logic of the derivative test:

The minimum of f occurs where:

∂f∂x=0∂f∂y=0

In matlab.write a program that converts a numerical date given by the user into a month, day, and year. Specifically, the user should input a sequence of eight numbers 05141956.

the program should print out the same date in complete format. In this example it would print "The date is May 14th, 1956". Notice the "th" addition after the day. This changes depending on the number. Make sure this feature is included. MATLAB has built-in date conversion functions. You cannot use them in this exercise.

If you a buy a house for $150,000, live in it for more than two years, and sell it for $350,000 you pay NO TAX on this $200,000 realized gain. By contrast, if you invest $150,000 in a stock and sell the stock for $350,00 after more than one year, you must pay long term capital gains taxes of 15% on the $200,000 realized net long term capital gain. Why is this different treatment, which favors real estate over stock investments, built into the tax code?

All the Greek tragedies center on man's failure because of "hubris." Many eyes are watching billionaire Elon Musk's progress in pushing out the Tesla Model 3. Do you think Elon used the AFN equation when he built the new battery factory and adapted an old Toyota facility to build the Model 3? Did Tesla grow too fast? Do you think Elon will make it? How might he have done it better?

4. Imagine that you are asked to choose between two businesses (electric companies) that will supply electricity to your home. One of these electric companies burns coal in a facility built in 1963. It has not been retrofitted with pollution-control equipment, but it offers electricity at a relatively low price. The other firm has been retrofitted with pollution-control equipment and generates a large percentage of its electricity from dams, windmills, and solar panels but its price for electricity is almost 50% higher.

Write a function in any functional programming language that will reverse a general list. For example, if an input is (A (B C (D E)) F), output is (F ((E D) C B) A).  Please note that any built-in/pre-defined function, e.g., reverse, cannot be used in your answer.

Please DO NOT hard-code any input values, output values in your code.

Please submit a screenshot of where your code got compiled, executed, showing the execution result
