You received a high-yield savings account that contains $1,000,000. The account has a 7% annual interest rate and you want to take out a constant amount every year for 40 years.

1. How much would you be able to withdraw every year? Hint: the annual interest rate should be used as the discount rate in the finite time annuity formula.

2. Using Microsoft Excel, decompose your annual withdrawals into interest revenue and revenue earned from principal deduction (for example, at t=1, you get 7% x $1,000,000 in interest, and take the remaining amount from the principal – these together should equal the amount you determined in (1)). Graph interest revenue and principal revenue together, with time on the xaxis. Report the graph based on all 40 years, and only report the interest revenue and principal revenue numbers for the first 10 years.

3. Suppose you want to take out $100,000 per year. For how many years would you be able to make this exact withdrawal?

4. After your last exact withdrawal from (3), you decide to withdraw everything in your account one year later. How much money would you get from your final withdrawal?

Birthday problem. Suppose that people enter a room one at a time. How people must enter until two share a birthday? Counterintuitively, after 23 people enter the room, there is approximately a 5050 chance that two share a birthday. This phenomenon is known as the birthday problem or birthday paradox.

Write a program Birthday.java that takes two integer command-line arguments n and trials and performs the following experiment, trials times:

  • Choose a birthday for the next person, uniformly at random between 0 and n−1.n−1.
  • Have that person enter the room.
  • If that person shares a birthday with someone else in the room, stop; otherwise repeat.

In each experiment, count the number of people that enter the room. Print a table that summarizes the results (the count i, the number of times that exactly i people enter the room, and the fraction of times that i or fewer people enter the room) for each possible value of i from 1 until the fraction reaches (or exceeds) 50%.

Submission. Submit a .zip file containing DiscreteDistribution.java, ThueMorse.java, Birthday.java, and Minesweeper.java. You may not call library functions except those in the java.lang (such as Integer.parseInt() and Math.sqrt()). Use only Java features that have already been introduced in the course (e.g., loops and arrays, but not functions).

Littlefield Laboratories, LLC (LL) provides an integratedgenetic test called MaterniT 21 PLUS for expected parents...

Littlefield Laboratories, LLC (LL) provides an integrated genetic test called MaterniT 21 PLUS for expected parents in Northern California. LL charges its customers a premium price of $1,900 per test and promises to return the result within 24 hours after receiving the order; otherwise a rebate will be provided. LL runs 24x7 and customer orders for the test come in to the lab with blood samples on a continuous basis. Demand for the test is relatively stable at an average of 3,000 tests per month, with an estimated standard deviation of 100 tests for the weekly demand. Each test requires an advanced testing kit that can be purchased from a sole supplier at a wholesale price of $600 each. LL can purchase the testing kits from the supplier in a batch. The supplier charges a fixed setup cost (including shipping) of $6,000 for each batch LL orders, regardless of the size of the batch. It will take exactly 7 days for the supplier to deliver the batch to LL after LL places the order. If LL runs out of inventory for less than a week, the backlog cost is estimated to be $156 per unit. As soon as the batch is delivered, LL pays the supplier out of is operational cash account, which generates interest for LL on a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8%. Test kits are very small parts that do not require any physical resources (e.g., extra space or climate control) to hold.

1. Which of the following are necessary inventory control decisions LL has to make? (Select all that apply.) Group of answer choices

Determining how many testing machines to purchase.

Determining how many units of testing kits to order in a batch.

Determining how many operators to staff in each shift.

Determining the reorder point that triggers the testing kit replenishment order.

Determining how often to order testing kits.

Determining what price promotions can be offered to customers.

2. Which of the following are appropriate strategies for making the inventory decisions. (Select all that apply.) Group of answer choices

Use the EOQ model to determine how many testing kit units to order each time.

Use the EOQ model to determine how often to place testing kit orders.

Use the EOQ model to determine the reorder point to trigger the replenishment order in order to keep a good amount of testing kits on hand during the 7‐day supplier lead time.

Use the EOQ model to determine how many operators to staff in each shift.

Use the order-up-to model to determine the optimal reorder point.

Use the order-up-to model to determine how many testing machines to purchase.

3. LL plans to use the EOQ model to make some of its inventory decisions. Which of the following hypotheses, if true, will make the EOQ method invalid? (Select all that apply.) Group of answer choices

The incoming demand is relatively stable at a constant rate that can be easily estimated.

The supplier can offer discounts on the fixed setup charge based on ordering quantities, e.g., 50% off if the batch size is larger than 10,000 units.

The supplier can offer discounts on the per unit wholesale price based on ordering quantities, e.g., 10% off if the batch size is larger than 5,000 units.

LL’s operational cash is put into an actively managed account with a systematic withdrawal plan that allows LL to withdraw a flexible amount of fund only on the first of each month to pay employees and bills and make necessary procurements.

The supplier’s setup charge and wholesale price are constants.

4. LL plans to set its reorder point at 700 units, which equals the average weekly demand LL faces. Which of the following are true? (Select all that apply.) Group of answer choices

If LL keeps 700 units on hand during the 7‐day supplier lead time, LL has a 50% chance of running out of inventory before the supplier delivers the ordered batch of testing kits.

If LL keeps 700 units on hand during the 7‐day supplier lead time, LL has a 50% chance of having leftover inventory when supplier delivers the ordered batch of testing kits.

700 is the optimal reorder point for LL to set. LL should set a reorder point higher than 700 in order to have a positive safety stock buffer.

LL should set a reorder point lower than 700 in order to have a negative safety stock buffer.

5. LL has made an inventory decision of ordering 3000 units in a batch each time it orders from the supplier. Which of the following are true? (Select all that apply.) Group of answer choices

This is the EOQ solution.

LL is expected to order 12 times a year.

LL is expected to order once per month.

The solution will impose an annual inventory holding cost that is much higher than the annual total setup cost.

The solution will impose an annual total setup cost that is much higher than the annual inventory holding cost

6.LL plans to place an order of 3000 units to its supplier on a monthly basis. LL is also considering to set the reorder point to 900 units to trigger the order. Once the ordered batch is delivered in exactly 7 days, any leftover testing kit inventory LL has will impose a $4 per unit of carrying cost for another month. Which of following are true? (Select all that apply.) Group of answer choices

Setting the reorder point at 900 units, or 2 standard deviations above the mean weekly demand, will give LL approximately a 97.5% probability of not running of inventory during the 7‐day supplier lead time.

Setting the reorder point at 900 units, or 2 standard deviations above the mean weekly demand, will give LL approximately a 2.5% probability of not running of inventory during the 7‐day supplier lead time.

The critical ratio is $156/($156+$4) = 0.975.

Setting the reorder point at 900 units, or 2 standard deviations above the mean weekly demand, can be considered optimal.

With a reorder point of 900 units, LL will not have a sufficient safety stock buffer during the 7‐day supplier lead time to take on incoming customer orders.

C++

Instructions

A company hired 10 temporary workers who are paid hourly and you are given a data file that contains the last name of the employees, the number of hours each employee worked in a week, and the hourly pay rate of each employee. You are asked to write a program that computes each employee’s weekly pay and the average salary of all employees. The program then outputs the weekly pay of each employee, the average weekly pay, and the names of all the employees whose pay is greater than or equal to the average pay. If the number of hours worked in a week is more than 40, then the pay rate for the hours over 40 is 1.5 times the regular hourly rate.

Use two parallel arrays:

  • a one-dimensional array to store the names of all the employees (Name)
  • a two-dimensional array of 10 rows and 3 columns to store the number of hours an employee worked in a week (Hrs Worked), the hourly pay rate (Pay Rate), and the weekly pay (Salary).

Your program must contain at least the following functions:

  • a function to read the data from the file into the arrays.
  • a function to determine the weekly pay.
  • a function to output each employee’s data.
  • a function to output the average salary of all employees
  • a function to output the names of all the employees whose pay is greater than or equal to the average weekly pay

A sample output is:

Name Hrs Worked Pay Rate Salary
Johnson 60.00 12.50 875.00
Aniston 65.00 13.25 1026.88
Cooper 50.00 14.50 797.50

  1. You are asked to work as an astrobiologist in the distant future. On Neptune’s moon Triton, you find a species of terrifying and giant crustacean-like aliens that appear to live in completely isolated populations within the nitrogen ice valleys on the surface. As a famed xenobiologist that specializes in population genetics, you decide to compare and contrast two of these isolated populations. Specifically, you are interested in the locus terror​​, which comprises three alleles T1, T2, and T3.
    1. Using state of the art technology, you can immediately infer genotypes on the spot! Below are the genotype frequencies for the two populations. Your non-biologist teammate speculates that because genotypes containing T2 are so low in frequency in both populations, T2 must be deleterious - and thus will soon be selected out of the populations. Are they right? Why or why not?

  1. Someone on a rival ship accidentally brings a small batch of hitchhiking aliens back to Earth. At least it’s not your fault! Unfortunately, they are reproducing, thus forming a newly isolated population that is terrorizing the planet. This new Earth population of aliens is genotyped, and you find that they entirely lack the allele T3. Is this founder Earth population more likely to originally be from Triton population 1 or 2? Please show your work.

  1. Regardless of your answer to part B, your colleague suggests that if​ ​ the new Earth population originally came from Triton population 2, genetic drift is likely to play less of an effect because of its large original population size (refer to table in part A). Are they correct? Why or why not?

  1. You notice that terror​ ​ experiences selection on Earth. Because the Earth population completely lacks allele T3, you can treat this population like a two allele locus, with genotypes and fitnesses listed below. What is the probability that T1 will fix or be lost due to drift alone? By contrast, what is the probability that T1 will fix or be lost due to selection alone? Please show your work.

Write a program that manages a list of patients for a medical office. Patients should be...

Write a program

that manages a list of patients for a medical office. Patients should be

represented as objects with the following data members:

name (string)

patient id # (string)

address (string)

height (integer; measured in inches)

weight (double)

date of birth (Date)

date of initial visit (Date)

date of last visit (Date)

The data member “patient id #” is defined to be a

key

. That is, no two patients can have

the same patient id #. In addition to the standard set of accessors for the above data

members, define the fol

lowing methods for class Patient.

standard set of accessors

get_age

method: to compute and returns a patient’s age in years (integer)

get_time_as_patient

method: to compute the number of years (integer) since

the patient’s initial visit. Note that this va

lue can be 0.

get_time_since_last_visit

method:

to compute the number of years (integer)

since the patient’s last visit. This value can be 0, too.

Your program will create a list of patient objects and provide the user with a menu of

choices for accessing

and manipulating the

data on that list. The list must be an object of

the class List that you will define.

Internally, the list object must maintain its list as a

singly linked list with two references, one for head and one for tail.

As usual, your Li

st

class will have the methods “

find,” “

size,” “contains

,” “remove,”

“add,”, “get,”

“getNext,”, “reset,” “toString

,”. At the start, your program should read in patient data

from a text file for an initial set of patients for the list. The name of this file

should be

included on the “command line” when the program is run.

(Don’t hard code

the file name)

Each data item for a patient will appear on a separate line in

the file.

Your program

should be menu-

driven, meaning that it will display a menu of options for the user. The

user will choose one of

these options, and your program will carry out the request. The

program will then display the same menu again and get another

choice from the user.

This interaction will go on until the user chooses QUIT, which should be the last of the

menu’s options. The

menu should look something like the following:

1.

Display list

2.

Add a new patient

3.

Show information for a patient

4.

Delete a patient

5.

Show average patient age

6.

Show information for the youngest patient

7.

Show notification l

ist

8.

Quit

Enter your choice:

Details of each option:

Option 1: Display (on the screen) the names and patient id #’s of all patients in

order starting from the first one. Display the

information for one patient per line;

something like: Susan

Smith, 017629

Option

2: Add a new patient to the

END

of the list.

All

information about the new

patient (including name, patient id #, etc.)

is to be requested (input) from the user

interactively. That is, you will need to ask for 14 pieces of data from the user.

You’ll, of course, need to create a new patient object to hold this data.

NOTE:

As mentioned above, the patient id # field is a

key

. So, if the user types in

a patient id # that happens to be the same as

an already existing patient’s, then

you should display an error message and cancel the operation. Therefore, it is

probably a

good idea to ask for the patient id # first and test it immediately (by

scanning the objects on the list).

Option

3: Display (in a neat format) all the information pertaining to the patien

t

whose patient id # is given by the user. Namely, display the following information:

o

name

o

patient id #

o

address

o

height (shown in feet and inches; for example, 5 ft, 10 in)

o

weight

o

age

o

number of years as a patient (display “less than one year” if 0)

o

number of years since last visit (display “less than one year” if 0)

o

Indication that patient is overdue for a visit

NOTE:

The last item is displayed only if it has been 3 or more years since

the patient’s last visit.

If the user inputs a patient id

# that does

not

exist, then the program should

display an error message and the operation should be canceled (with the menu

immediately being displayed again for another request).

Option

4: Delete the patient whose id # is given by the user. If the patient is not

on the

list, display an error message.

Option 5: Show the average age (to one decimal place) of the patients.

Option

6:

Display (in a neat format) all the information (same as operation 3)

about the youngest patient.

Option

7: Display the names (and patient id

#’s) of all patients who are overdue

for a visit. As noted above, “overdue” is

defined as 3 or more years since the last

visit.

Option 8: Quit the program.

NOTE:

When the user chooses to quit, you should ask if they would like to save

the patient information to a file. If so, then

you should prompt for the name of an

output (text) file, and then write the data pertaining to

all

patients to that file. The

output for each patient should be in the same format as in the input file. In this

way, your output fil

e can be used as input on

another run of your program. Make

certain to maintain the order of the patients in the output file as they appear on the

list. Be

careful not to overwrite your original input file (or any other file, for that

matter).

Note

:

Try to

implement the various menu options as separate methods (aside

from

“main”)

.

However:

DO NOT DEFINE such “option methods

” as part of the class

List.

Of course, the Java code that implements an option (whether it’s in the “main”

method or not) should def

initely use List’s methods

to help do its job.
