This video is a brief tale of two mice and two humans who live in a maze and one day are faced with change: someone moves their cheese. This story is about adjusting attitudes toward change in life, especially at work. Change occurs whether a person is ready or not, but the author affirms that it can be positive. His principles are to anticipate change, let go of the old, and do what you would do if you were not afraid.
"Who Moved My Cheese" is a way to deal with change in your work and in your life. It was written in the style of a parable or business fable. The text describes change in one's work and life, and four typical reactions to those changes by two mice ("Sniff" and "Scurry,") and two "little people" ("Hem" and "Haw."), during their hunt for cheese.
The cheese as something related to our livelihoods—our jobs, our career paths, the industries we work in—although it can stand for anything, from health to relationships. The point of the story is that we have to be alert to changes in the cheese, and be prepared to go running off in search of new sources of cheese when the cheese we have is no longer available.

Write a menu-driven program for Food Court. (You need to use functions!) Display the food menu to a user (Just show the 5 options' names and prices - No need to show the Combos or the details!) Ask the user what he/she wants and how many of it. (Check the user inputs) AND Use strip() function to strip your inputs. Keep asking the user until he/she chooses the end order option. (You can pass quantity1, quantity2, quantity3, quantity4 & quantity5 to save the quantities of the orders) Calculate the price. Ask the user whether he/she is a student or a staff. There is no tax for students and 9% tax for staffs. Add the tax price to the total price. Tax Cupertino 9.000% Santa Clara Display the bill to the user. The bill includes: The food items The quantities The cost of them The total before tax Tax amount Total price after tax You can have your own design but you need to have a main function and get started from the main function. For example: def main(): displayMenu() . . displayBill(..) main() or if __name__ == "__main__": main() The name of functions also up to your design but they should show what the functions do. Only display 2 decimal points when displaying all the numbers. Put at least two outputs (results after you run your code) at the end of your code as a multi-line comment. Don't forget to put your name and a short description of your code on the top on your code. Don't forget to test your code with Positive and Negative Testing!

The project will be graded both for mathematical quality and for expository quality. Look at the six examples in section 4.7 of our text for good ideas about expository style. Notice how the author mixes the necessary mathematical equations with sentences of logic and explanation. Notice that the exposition is almost always in present tense. And, the author frequently uses we referring to the reader and author working together on the steps of solution. These are all standard conventions in mathematical writing.
The Problem. You are a landscape designer. A client has asked you to design a plan to enclose a rectangular garden having 10,000 m2 of area. The north and south sides are to be bounded by wooden fencing, which costs $20/m; the east and west sides are to be bounded by rhododendrons, which cost $50/m. Find the dimensions of the garden that minimize the total cost of the fencing and shrubbery. The client is getting estimates from several designers, so you need to prove that your plan is guaranteed to result in the lowest cost (given those per-meter costs for installing the fencing and the plants). Accordingly, when you write up your plan include a careful description of how you find these dimensions and how you verify that these dimensions actually minimize the cost.
Having finished your plan for the garden to be enclosed by rhododendrons and wooden fencing, you realize that rectangular gardens with different ”boundary material” on the north and south than on the east and west have become popular. To simplify the design process, you want to create a template for these problems. The general situation is as follows. A 10,000 m2 garden is to be enclosed on the north and south by material A, which costs a dollars per meter, and on the east and west by material B, which costs b dollars per meter. Find the dimensions that minimize the total cost of enclosing the garden. (The dimensions will be in terms of the constants a and b.) As before, in order to prove to your clients that your plan is the best possible, include a careful description of how you find these dimensions and how you verify that these dimensions actually minimize the cost.
What does your template tell you about the dimensions of the garden when a = b? When a = 4b? When a = (1/4)b? Does it agree with the dimensions you found for the rhododendron/wooden fence-enclosed garden? What happens if the area of the garden is to be something other than 10,000 m2?
The audience for your paper is the client, but assume this client is someone who is familiar with calculus. Begin with a brief introduction as a reminder of the problem. Incorporate into your report a computer-drawn graph of the cost function used in the first part of the analysis (with costs $20/m and $50/m). You will need to experiment with the window dimensions in order to include the important details of the function. The graph should exhibit the domain of the function and the minimum point.

The Donner Party: Natural Selection in Action The Donner Party is the name of emigrants who travelled in covered wagons from Illinois to California in 1846 and became trapped in the Sierra Nevada Mountains when the region was hit by heavy snows in late October. By the time the survivors were rescued in April, 1847, 40 out of 87 had died from famine and exposure to severe cold. Some of those that survived did so by resorting to cannibalism, according to newspapers reporting at that time. Data on the survivorship of the party members may be used to gain some insight into human behavior and natural selection under extreme stress. For example, some questions of interest are whether males are better able to withstand harsh conditions than females and the extent to which the chances of survival vary with age. The data in the lab assignment come from Grayson, (1990), “Donner Party Deaths: A Demographic Assessment,” Journal of Anthropological Research, v.46. The data are also available in the StatCrunch file lab3.txt located on the STAT 151 Laboratories web site at http://www.stat.ualberta.ca/statslabs/stat151/index.htm (click Stat 151 link, and Data for Lab 3). The data are not to be printed in your submission. The following is a description of the variables in the data file: Variable Name Description of Variable NAME full name of the passenger, GENDER gender (female or male); FAMILY family name, POSITION member status within the family, AGE estimated age (in years) as of July 31, 1846; CHILD child (yes or no) SURVIVAL survived or died, ORDER order of death, ALONE Yes if travelling alone (no family, no close accompanying persons), GROUP SIZE Number of group members. 1. Is it an observational study or a randomized experiment? Can the data be generalized to a broader population? If females in the study turned out to be more apt to survive than males, could this be used as proof that, in general, females are better able than males to withstand harsh conditions? 4. In this question, you will examine the relationship between survival and gender. (a) Were the chances of survival different for females than for males? In order to answer the question, obtain the contingency table of survival by gender. Make sure that Row percent, Column percent, and Percent of Total as well as Chi-Square test for independence are selected. Paste the table into your report. (b) Using α = 0.05, test that there was no relationship between survival and gender. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Report the value of the appropriate test statistic, the distribution of the test statistic under the null hypothesis, and the P-value of the test to answer the question. State your conclusion. (c) Refer to the output in part (a) to answer the following questions: What percent of the survivors were females? What percent were female survivors? (d) Using α = 0.05, is there evidence that there was a difference in the survival rate for females and males? Carry out the appropriate two-sample proportion test. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Report the value of the appropriate test statistic, the distribution of the test statistic under the null hypothesis, and the P-value of the test to answer the question. State your conclusion. (e) What is the relationship between the tests in parts (b) and (d)? 3 (f) Obtain and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the difference in survival rates of females and males?
