A CBS News/New York Times survey found that 97% of Americans believe that texting while driving should be outlawed (CBS News website, January 5, 2015). a. For a sample of 10 Americans, what is the probability that at least 8 say that they believe texting while driving should be outlawed? Use the binomial distribution probability function to answer this question (to 4 decimals). b. For a sample of 100 Americans, what is the probability that at least 95 say that they believe texting while driving should be outlawed? Use the normal approximation of the binomial distribution to answer this question (to 4 decimals). Use “Continuity correction factor” method. Use Table 1 in Appendix B. c. As the number of trials in a binomial distribution application becomes large, what is the advantage of using the normal approximation of the binomial distribution to compute probabilities? d. When the number of trials for a binominal distribution application becomes large, would developers of statistical software packages prefer to use the binomial distribution probability function shown in Section 5.5 or the normal approximation of the binomial distribution discussed in Section 6.3? Explain. The input in the box below will not be graded, but may be reviewed and considered by your instructor.

Scenario 1: You are playing soccer and your team has just finished their third game of the day. The day has been very hot with temperatures in the 90s with no cloud coverage. Suddenly, one of your teammates collapses. They seem to not be fully awake and do not respond to questions you ask them. Their breathing is rapid and shallow, and they are unable to get up from the ground. Their skin is very red and hot to the touch but without any moisture. You want to help your teammate. (1) What are the initial steps you should take in this emergency? (2) Describe in detail how you would decide what your plan of care would be.

Scenario Continued There is an indoor facility close to the field and you have water and ice available to you. There are no higher trained medical personnel currently at this event. (1) What steps would you take to care for your teammate? Describe the steps in detail. (2) When would you know to stop caring for your teammate?

Scenario 2: While at a family cookout, your 10-year-old cousin walks to the dessert table to grab a cookie. They walk over to you and starts to eat the cookie, and you notice that the cookie has nuts in it. A couple minutes later your cousin starts to complain of a really bad stomach cramp and some nausea. You want to help. (1) What are the initial steps you would take in this situation? (2) How would you determine what your care would be?

Scenario Continued: As you are caring for your cousin, they begins to have difficulty breathing and their lips and tongue are starting to swell. They have a medical bracelet that says they has severe allergies to tree nuts. (1) What steps would you take to give care to your cousin? Describe them in detail. (2) How would you know when to stop caring for your cousin?

Your client contact is the finance officer of XYZ company. They phone you briefly on 1.10.20XX and say that the financial position detail report contains too much detail. They also state that there is no explanation for the changes in financial position even though they know that several new desks were purchased in the previous quarter because they recorded them on the asset register. Prepare a file note to show how the feedback will be incorporated into services to the client.

Writing Assignment #1 Instructions
The following assignment should be typed and printed or handwritten and turned in to the CA office in room​ 201 TMCB.​ If there is no one in the CA Office, you can slip your assignment through the slot in the door.
You must follow the instructions below or you will not receive credit.​ You can turn in the assignment up until 5:00 PM on the due date.
Important Notices: If you do not staple multiple pages, you may lose points. If you do not put your section number on the paper, you may lose points. As shown below, please fold your paper lengthwise and on the outside write (a) your name, (b) Stat 121, (c) your section number, and (d) the assignment number. (An example is available outside the CA Office.)
The situation is as follows:
Rent and other associated housing costs, such as utilities, are an important part of the estimated costs of attendance at college. A group of researchers at the BYU Off-Campus Housing department want to estimate the mean monthly rent that unmarried BYU students paid during Winter 2019. During March 2019, they randomly sampled 366 BYU students and found that on average, students paid $348 for rent with a standard deviation of $76. The plot of the sample data showed no extreme skewness or outliers.

Calculate a 98% confidence interval estimate for the mean monthly rent of all unmarried BYU students in Winter 2019.
STATE
What is a 98% confidence interval estimate for the mean monthly rent of all unmarried BYU students in Winter 2019?
PLAN
1. State the name of the appropriate estimation procedure. ​(2pts)
2. Describe the parameter of interest in the context of the problem. ​(2pts)

For this lab, you are to construct a mock burglar alarm. The system will have three states, armed, disarmed, and alarm, two inputs in the form of push buttons, and two outputs in the form of LEDs.

The system should start in the disarmed state with a green LED lit. Pressing button 1 moves us to the armed state, pressing button 2 (our stand-in for a door contact sensor) does nothing.

In the armed state, the red LED should blink off and on. Pressing button 1 disarms the system and returns to that state. Pressing button 2 transitions the system to the alarm state

In the alarm state, the red LED is solid (not blinking). Pressing button 2 does nothing while pressing button 1 disarms the alarm.

Can someone please create a writing schematic and code in Arduino?
