You are implementing a brand new type of ATM that provides exact amounts of cash (bills only, no coins). In order to maximize potential revenue an algorithm is needed that will allow for using different denomination amounts as needed by the local currency (value of bills will vary, but are integers).
The program shall graphically prompt the user for a file.
The program shall read the selected file of which the first line will be a space separated list of the
bill denomination sizes.
The program shall then read each line in the rest of the file containing an integer and output the
number of different ways to produce that value using the denominations listed in the first line.
The program shall indicate after that the number of milliseconds the program spent calculating
the answer.
The program shall implement 2 different forms of the algorithm: 1 recursive and 1 using dynamic
programming.
The program shall have 2 sets of output, 1 for each implementation.
The program shall write the output to a file in the same directory as the input file.
The program must be written in Java.

Case 1. Monitoring the earliest immune responses to HIV.
A better understanding of the immune responses to HIV during the period between initial mucosal exposure to the virus and the point at which it becomes detectable in the blood would help inform development of strategies to prevent HIV infection. These early responses have been up to now very difficult if not impossible to study in people with HIV. Babies exposed to HIV through vaginal delivery of untreated HIV-positive mothers were recently analysed in detail by researchers during the first few days after viral exposure. The scientists found that HIV disseminates rapidly through the body, with viral RNA present in at least one tissue outside the skin in most babies analysed one day after vagina exposure. Early host responses that supress viral immunity and promote viral replication were observed. Increasing amounts of viral RNA correlated with rising amounts of a host protein that suppresses non-specific antiviral immunity. Also, activation of a cell-signalling pathway correlated with lower levels of antiviral T-cell responses and higher levels of HIV replication. Thus, the window of opportunity to contain or eliminate HIV at its mucosal exposure is more limited than previously thought. Importantly, scientists can apply these new insights to the improved development of microbicides, vaccines and drugs to prevent HIV infection.
1) How would you possibly track very early HIV responses in babies with a biomarker (CD8+T cells) to show that the virus suppresses proinflammatory mediators?

Many consider early and middle adulthood times of relatively little growth, but adults encounter a multitude of tasks and changes during these phases. For instance, the quality of relationships change, vocational choice might be solidified, formal education might be completed, parenting responsibilities might be present, and changes in physical capacities might set limits on behavior. An adult's perceived success or failure can influence his/her sense of self and ability to accomplish tasks and navigate changes in early and middle adulthood.
In the United States, individuation is an important aspect of adulthood. Individuation refers to processes by which you become a unique individual with a distinct sense of identity. The process is sometimes identified as separation-individuation (Berger, 2016). Adulthood is the period in which roles change from that of a dependent child to a more autonomous individual with different responsibilities and commitments.
Boucher and Maslach (2009) discuss how the type of culture—individualistic or collectivistic—can influence the degree of individuation. Think about how cultural differences can influence the changes that adults face during early and middle adulthood. The influence of culture on these changes impacts individuation. Consider collectivist societies that value conformity over individuality. How does that impact an individual's sense of uniqueness?
1. Select one aspect of adulthood (identity development, vocational development, relationships, or parenting).
2. Post a description of the aspect of adulthood you selected.
3. Then, explain individuation in terms of that aspect. Include an explanation of the challenges that might influence individuation.
4. Be specific and provide examples from the Learning Resources. Use proper APA format and citations.

It always seems easy to spot the big winners after they are successful. It’s much harder in the early stages when there is less information. And, there are many false signals that lead managers astray.
DrawQuest
DrawQuest developed an app that created daily drawing challenges for users. The app was immediately popular. In 2013, its first year of operations, 1.4 million users downloaded the app and 400,000 used it at least once a month. DrawQuest’s storage vaults held eight million drawings, which it promised to maintain forever for its user-artists.
Do you think that user downloads or per-month users were good metrics for DrawQuest? DrawQuest intended to make money by offering premium drawing tools and other services. Unfortunately, few users opted to pay and the company went out of business in 2014. Having lots of users and rave reviews is not the same as creating and capturing value. A better metric might have been the number or percentage of users who purchased their premium packages.
Cashé
Another venture, Cashé, developed a software program for creating and analyzing financial forecasts. The early response to the program was positive and the company booked almost $500,000 per month in revenues. Management ramped up expenses to reflect the early indications of successful product-market fit. The challenge was that purchasers began to send the program back for refunds and accounts receivable were difficult to collect. The company failed because it couldn’t make its program as powerful and easy to use as demanded by the marketplace.
What metrics might have alerted Cashé to their underlying problems?

Individuals filing federal income tax returns prior to March 31 received an average refund of $1,064. Consider the population of "last-minute" filers who mail their tax return during the last five days of the income tax period (typically April 10 to April 15).
a. A researcher suggests that a reason individuals wait until the last five days is that on average these individuals receive lower refunds than do early filers. Develop appropriate hypotheses such that rejection of H0 will support the researcher's contention. H 0 : M is ( ) H a : M is ( )
b. For a sample of 400 individuals who filed a tax return between April 10 and 15, the sample mean refund was $910. Based on prior experience a population standard deviation of = $1,600 may be assumed. What is the p-value (to 4 decimals)? ( )
c. Using = .05, can you conclude that the population mean refund for "last minute" filers is less than the population mean refund for early fliers? (Yes or No) Answer the next three questions using the critical value approach.
d. Using a= .05, what is the critical value for the test statistic (to 3 decimals)? ( ) If your answer is negative use minus "-" sign. e. State the rejection rule: Reject H 0 if z is ( less than or,....) the critical value. f. Using a= .05, can you conclude that the population mean refund for "last minute" filers is less than the population mean refund for early filers? ( Yes or No)
