I am writing a scheme function that pairs an element to every element in a list, and I have the following code so far:

(define (pair-element e l)   
(cond ((null? l) (list e))
(else (cons e (car l)) (pair-element (cdr l)))))
(pair-element 4 `(4 3 5))

What is my error? I'm getting a pair element mismatch when I run it. I need to do this without using built-in functions. Thanks!

1. Construct a finite-state machine, using combinational logic, which reads in one bit at a time. When a nibble (4 bits) are all zeros the output is set to one else the output is zero. The machine continues to read in bits and the output remains a one if zeros are read in. If it reads a one the output is a zero.
   1. What are the machine states?
   2. What are the inputs?
   3. What are the outputs?
   4. Draw state table.
   5. Draw the state diagram.
   6. Define the circuit for the next state and the output with the Boolean equations.
   7. Explain if you built a Mealy or Moore machine.

What did Smith mean by the Division of Labor and why did he see it as crucial to explaining the Wealth of Nations? What is the cause of the Division of Labor, for Smith? How does the division of labor increase productivity, in his view? What is the effect on workers? Explain how Smith's work on the division of labor challenges the standard neo-classical account of the economy built on the assumption of constant returns, and how it supports a different argument for free trade than we get from Ricardo's theory of comparative advantage

this code should be in R.

Write function(s) to drop the smallest one exm grade out of several Exm grades. If a student misses an exm, the grade is NA. You must use NA instead of 0 to represent the value for exms missing. (a) Develop a function to convert an array to another array in which all NA grades are replaced with zero. (b) Complete your function to compute the mean of all elements row by row after dropping exactly one lowest grade. You cannot use any loop statement inside or outside your functions for both (a) and (b). You may use the built-in function in R to find the minimum value in an array. You may use ifelse() only once. You may use the built-in function mean() to find the mean. But be careful! For testing purpose, you may use the following exm grades for each student in each row:

            Exm 1          Exm 2         Exm 3          Exm 4

               80                  NA                90                  NA

               60                  80                  100                NA

               90                  80                  100                40

The average grade of each student must be displayed as a row in a matrix. For the exmple above, you need to display a 3 x 1 matrix with three rows of mean values in one column.

You may use functions: is.na() or na.omit().

Voltage sags and swells. The power quality of a transformer

is measured by the quality of the voltage. Two

causes of poor power quality are “sags” and “swells.” A

sag is an unusual dip and a swell is an unusual increase in

the voltage level of a transformer. The power quality of

transformers built in Turkey was investigated in Electrical

Engineering (Vol. 95, 2013). For a sample of 103 transformers

built for heavy industry, the mean number of sags per

week was 353 and the mean number of swells per week

was 184. Assume the standard deviation of the sag distribution

is 30 sags per week and the standard deviation of the

swell distribution is 25 swells per week.

a. For a sag distribution with any shape, what proportion

of transformers will have between 263 and 443 sags per

week? Which rule did you apply and why?

b. For a sag distribution that is mound-shaped and symmetric,

what proportion of transformers will have between

263 and 443 sags per week? Which rule did you

apply and why?

c. For a swell distribution with any shape, what proportion

of transformers will have between 109 and 259 swells

per week? Which rule did you apply and why?

d. For a swell distribution that is mound-shaped and symmetric,

what proportion of transformers will have between

109 and 259 swells per week? Which rule did you

apply and why?

Here is another infectious disease model. Once a person becomes infected, the time X, in days, until the person becomes infectious (can pass on the disease) can be modeled as a Weibull random variable with density function f(x,α,β) = α βα xα−1e−(x/β)α for 0 ≤ x ≤ ∞ and 0 otherwise with α = 3.7 and β = 7.1 α is the shape parameter and β is the scale parameter. Hint: Solve this with the built-in R functions for the Weibull distribution (dweibull(),pweibull(), qweibull()) not f as defined above. Otherwise you may get intermediate values too large to use. For a) and b) the text (and notes) give formulas for the answers. You can calculate from these formulas. Note that these formulas use the gamma function. Γ(α) is the gamma function. In R, there is a built-in function gamma() which calculates this.

a) What is the expected value of X? 6.4074

b) What is the variance of X? 3.719794

c) What is the standard deviation of X? 1.928677

d) What is the probability that X is larger than its expected value? 0.5045822

e) What is the probability that X is > 2? 0.9908345

f) What is the probability that X is > 4? 0.8872 g) What is the probability that X > 4 given that X > 2?

can you please solve that using R code . please

0.8954249 h) Calculate the 70th percentile of X. 459.273

1. Let W1, . . . , Wn be i.i.d. N(µ, σ²). A 100(1 − α)% confidence interval for σ² is

( ([n − 1]*S² ) / (χ²_{1−α/2,n−1} ) , ([n − 1]S²) / ( χ²_α/2,n−1) ,

where χ²_u,k denotes the 100×uth percentile of the χ² distribution with k degrees of freedom, S² = (n − 1)⁻¹ * the sum of (Wi − Wbar )² (from 1 to n) is the sample variance and Wbar = n⁻¹ * the sum of Wi (from i = 1 to n) the sample mean.

(a) Suppose µ = 68, σ = 4, n = 12, and α = 0.05. Estimate the coverage probability of this random confidence interval for σ² using a Monte Carlo simulation with 1e4 replications. That is, estimate the probability that the confidence interval captures σ² . Denote this estimated probability by pbar. Comment on how 1 − α compares to ±1/ √ 1e4. You may use the qchisq function (hint: the χ² distribution is not symmetric) but you may not use the built in rnorm function.

(b) Estimate the coverage probability for the confidence interval when W1, . . . , Wn are i.i.d. Exp(1). Notice that in this case σ² = var(W1) = 1. Estimate the coverage probability pbar for each (n, α) ∈ {10, 50, 100} × {0.05, 0.1}. In each case, compare 1 − α to pbar ± 1/ √ 1e4. Again, you may not use the built in rexp function. Comment on the results.

Should We Allow Global Corporation to Set Up a Factory in our Country?

About the business.  Global Corporation is applying for planning permission to build a factory in your country. The factory is expected to be very profitable. 1000 new jobs should be created for assembly-line work. Many of the goods made could be sold abroad. Some of the supplies for the factory will come from your country.

About your country.  In your country unemployment is high, especially amongst skilled workers. The government cannot afford any new building projects. There are several local competitors producing goods similar to the Global Corporation. Import levels are very high. Land for new building is very limited. New developments would have to be built in beautiful countryside.

Questions

i. List three groups in your country who may benefit from allowing the Global Corporation to build the factory.(1.5)

ii. List three groups in your country who may lose from the building of the factory.(1.5)

iii. Would you advise your government to allow the new factory to be built? Explain your answer by judging between or evaluating all of the evidence.(3)
