1. Three friends are choosing a TV show to watch. Here are their preferences:

   (a) If the three friends try using a Borda count to make their choice, what would happen?

2. (b) Monica suggests a vote by majority rule. She proposes that first they choose between Lost and Heroes, and then they choose between the winner of the first vote and Scrubs. If they all vote their preferences honestly, what outcome would occur?

3. (c) Should Chandler agree to Monicas suggestion? What voting system would he prefer?

4. (d) Phoebe and Monica convince Chandler to go along with Monicas proposal. In round one, Chandler dishonestly says he prefers Heroes over Lost. Why might he do this?

How do you count the number of vote?

C Programming Language.

A chessboard consists of 8 squares x 8 squares for a total of 64 squares. The squares of the chessboard are identified, from the perspective of the player with the white pieces, by the letters a – h for the 8 columns or files (starting from that player’s left), and 1 – 8 for the 8 rows or ranks (starting closest to that player). One of the chess pieces, the knight, can move in any direction by moving 2 rows up or down and 1 column left or right, or by moving 1 row up or down and 2 columns left or right. The knight can jump over pieces with the only restrictions being that the knight can’t move off the board and the knight can’t move to a square already occupied by a piece of the same color. Assume no other pieces on the board will be captured by, or block the movement of, the knight. Write a C language function that reads in a two character file and rank location (e.g., a5, g6, etc.). The function will then compute and display all the different squares by two character file and rank location to identify where the knight could move. You may use multiple functions, rather than only one, if you prefer.

Your program: should be named MinilabReview.java and will create an array of (pseudo)random ints and present a menu to the user to choose what array manipulations to do.   Specifically, the program should:

• Declare constants to specify the maximum integer that the array can contain (set to 8) and the integer whose occurrances will be counted (set to 3, to be used in one of the menu options).
• Ask the user to enter a “seed” for the generation of random numbers (this is so everyone’s results will be the same, even though random).
• Ask the user what the size of the array should be. Read in the size; it should be greater than 1. Keep making the user re-enter the value as long as it is out of bounds.
• Create a new random number generator using the seed.
• Create the array and fill it in with random numbers from your random number generator.   (Everyone’s random numbers therefore array elements should be in the range 0 to <predefined maximum> and everyone’s random numbers should match).
• Show the user a menu of options (see examples that are given). Implement each option.   The output should be in the exact same format as the example. Finally, the menu should repeat until the user chooses the exit option.

Examples: Please see the MinilabReviewExample1.pdf and MinilabReviewExample2.pdf that you are given for rather long examples of running the program.   Please note:

• If you use the same seed as in an example and use the Random number generator correctly, your results should be the same as the example.
• Please be sure that the formatting is EXACT, including words, blank lines, spaces, and tabs.
• Not all of the options nor all of the error checking may have been done in a given example, so you may have to add some test cases.
• There is 1 space after each of the outputs (Array: ) or (Length: ) or (prompts)
• There are 2 spaces between each element when the array is listed

There are tabs before and after each option number when the menu is printed.

This is a Microbiology essay question. Please provide detailed answers.

There is no single gene that determines whether a bacterial cell is gram positive or negative.
a. Give examples of two genes that code for parts of the cell wall (gram positive, negative, or both).
b. Some phenotypes, like resistance to a particular antibiotic, are gained and lost by a bacterial lineage frequently. Why don’t we see bacterial lineages changing back and forth between gram positive and negative?

Harry lost his watch and offers a reward of $100 to the person who returns it to him. Jim finds the watch, sees Harry's name and address on the watch and returns it (Jim never knew of the reward.) Two days later Joe told Jim that Harry had offered a reward and since he (Jim) had found the watch, he should collect it. Can Jim require Harry to pay him the reward?

Question 10 options:

Suppose a firm's marginal product of capital and marginal product of labor schedules are as shown in the table below. The firm hires both capital and labor competitively for $4 and $8, respectively. Its output is sold in a competitive market for $.50 per unit.

1. Suppose the firm is currently using 4 units of capital and 4 units of labor. Is the corresponding output being produced at least cost? How do you know?
   
   
   
   
2. What combination of labor and capital should the firm use to maximize its profit? Show.
   
   
   
   
3. If the marginal product of each resource does not depend on the quantity of the other resource, what output level corresponds to the input combination you just found? Show how.
   
   
   
4. Does this combination produce this output level at least cost?
