In the following problem, check that it is appropriate to use
the normal approximation to the binomial. Then use the normal
distribution to estimate the requested probabilities.
Do you take the free samples offered in supermarkets? About 64% of
all customers will take free samples. Furthermore, of those who
take the free samples, about 41% will buy what they have sampled.
Suppose you set up a counter in a supermarket offering free samples
of a new product. The day you were offering free samples, 309
customers passed by your counter. (Round your answers to four
decimal places.)
(a) What is the probability that more than 180 will take your
free sample?
(b) What is the probability that fewer than 200 will take your free
sample?
(c) What is the probability that a customer will take a free sample
and buy the product? Hint: Use the multiplication rule for
dependent events. Notice that we are given the conditional
probability P(buy|sample) = 0.41, while P(sample)
= 0.64.
(d) What is the probability that between 60 and 80 customers will
take the free sample and buy the product? Hint:
Use the probability of success calculated in part (c).

Van Rushing Hunting Goods’ fiscal year ends on December 31. At the end of the 2021 fiscal year, the company had notes payable of $20.0 million due on February 8, 2022. Rushing sold 5.5 million shares of its $0.25 par, common stock on February 3, 2022, for $16.5 million. The proceeds from that sale along with $3.5 million from the maturation of some 3-month CDs were used to pay the notes payable on February 8. Through his attorney, one of Rushing’s construction workers notified management on January 5, 2022, that he planned to sue the company for $1 million related to a work-site injury on December 20, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, management had been unaware of the injury, but reached an agreement on February 23, 2022, to settle the matter by paying the employee’s medical bills of $84,500. Rushing’s financial statements were finalized on March 3, 2022. Required:
1. What amount(s) if any, related to the situations described should Rushing report among current liabilities in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021?
2. What amount(s) if any, related to the situations described should Rushing report among long-term liabilities in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021?
3. What amount(s) if any, related to the situations described should Rushing report among current liabilities and long-term liabilities in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021 if the settlement agreement had occurred on March 15, 2022, instead?
4. What amount(s) if any, related to the situations described should Rushing report among current liabilities and long-term liabilities in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021 if the work-site injury had occurred on January 3, 2022, instead? (For all requirements, enter your answers in whole dollars.)

A number of restaurants feature a device that allows credit card users to swipe their cards at the table. It allows the user to specify a percentage or a dollar amount to leave as a tip. In an experiment to see how it works, a random sample of credit card users was drawn. Some paid the usual way, and some used the new device. The percent left as a tip was recorded and listed below. Using a = 0.05, what can we infer regarding users of the device?
| Usual | Device |
| 12.4 | 12.0 |
| 14.2 | 15.2 |
| 11.7 | 9.9 |

| a. |
There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that users of the device leave larger tips than customers who pay in the usual manner. |
|
| b. |
There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that users of the device leave smaller tips than customers who pay in the usual manner. |
|
| c. |
There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that users of the device and customers who pay in the usual manner do not differ in the percentage value of their tips. |

I have this projegt I will use asp.net wHAT PART CAN USE TO COMPLETE THE PROGET
For this project in the (Advanced Computer Networks) course, you may pick a system/language you like, design the project, implement it, and write a project report about it.
This project is related with the Readers and writers. Two types of users, Readers and Writers, can access a shared file. The file is allowed to be read by many readers simultaneously, but to be written by a single writer at a time when no reader is reading.
In this project, you are asked to solve the readers and writers problem by using the clientserver model and a kind of communication facility. Your program consists of several clients (readers and writers), a file access authorization server, and a shared file bank server. Clients may read/write different files or share a single file.
Before a client being able to access a file from the shared file bank server, it must first communicate with the authorization server to get a ticket (an encrypted permission which can be decrypted only by the shared file bank server). The file access authorization server receives requests from clients and manipulates up to N different files. The request message involves the following fields: the ID of the client, the type of the request (R/W), and the name of the file that the client wants to access. A transaction of accessing a file from a client is as follows:
• send REQ Message: request to the authorization server
• block_receive: waiting for a ticket
• send read/write (data) and ticket: request to the file bank server
• block_receive: waiting for data or ACK
• send REL Message: release to authorization server
• loop for certain times
You should test your program by different cases. For example, suppose your system manipulate five files A, B, C, D and E. One possible test case is to start with 30 clients that randomly access (with 30 percent of writers) a randomly selected file. Each client repeat 100 times. You should design at least 5 different test cases and you should use at least 3 computers to run your project.
Project Report: the report is a short report (2-4 pages) for what your project will be. It should contain a problem description and motivation, a description of the design of your solution, a description of your implementation, and an evaluation of how well your system solved the original problem.

CASE STUDY 3 : SMOKING AT IKE’S BAR-B-Q PIT
By 2013, only 10 states in the U.S. had not issued statewide bans on smoking in any nongovernment-owned spaces. Ike’s Bar-B-Q Pit is located in a state that allows smoking in restaurants and bars. Some of Ike’s nonsmoking customers, including some who suffer from asthma, have petitioned Ike to adopt a no-smoking rule for his restaurant. Upon hearing of the petition, some of Ike’s other customers complained that they have smoked in Ike’s restaurant for years and would not patronize the restaurant if the no-smoking rule were adopted. Ike is greatly concerned because he does not wish to lose business from either his smoking or nonsmoking customers.

Private Solutions to Externalities: The Coase Theorem Learning Objective: Discuss the Coase theorem and explain how private bargaining can lead to economic efficiency in a market with an externality. Although government intervention may increase economic efficiency in markets where externalities are present, it is possible for people to find private solutions to the problem of externalities. Ronald Coase made this argument in a 1960 article. To understand Coase’s argument, it is important to understand that completely eliminating an externality is usually not economically efficient. A. The Economically Efficient Level of Pollution Reduction The optimal decision is to continue any activity up to the point where the marginal benefit equals the marginal cost. This applies to reducing pollution just as much as other activities. As pollution declines, society benefits, but the marginal benefit from eliminating another unit of pollution declines as emissions are reduced. As pollution declines, the marginal cost of further reductions rises. The net benefit to society from reducing pollution is equal to the difference between the benefit of reducing pollution and the cost. To maximize the net benefit to society, any type of pollution should be reduced to the point where the marginal benefit from another ton of reduction is equal to the marginal cost. B. The Basis for Private Solutions to Externalities In arguing that private solutions to the problem of externalities were possible, Ronald Coase emphasized that when more than the optimal level of pollution is occurring, the benefits from reducing the pollution to the optimal level are greater than the costs. C. Do Property Rights Matter? Ronald Coase pointed out that the amount of pollution reduction will be the same whether polluters or the victims of pollution are legally liable for damages. Bargaining between the parties will result in the same reduction in pollution, where the marginal benefit of the last unit of reduction is equal to the marginal cost. D. The Problem of Transactions Costs There are frequently practical difficulties in the way of a private solution to the problem of externalities. For example, if many people suffer from the negative effects of pollution, bringing all the victims together with all the producers of the pollution to negotiate an agreement often fails due to high transactions costs. Transactions costs are the costs in time and other resources that parties incur in the process of agreeing to and carrying out an exchange of goods or services. E. The Coase Theorem The Coase theorem is the argument of economist Ronald Coase that if transactions costs are low, private bargaining will result in an efficient solution to the problem of externalities. Private bargaining is most likely to reach an efficient outcome when the number of bargaining parties is small and all parties are willing to accept a reasonable agreement. |

Two frictionless “hoverpucks” (puck 1 and puck 2) with mass 0.20 kg are travelling on a collision course with a third hoverpuck which is at rest and has mass 0.40 kg. Before they collide, puck 1 has velocity (1.0 m/s) î – (1.0 m/s) ĵ. After the collision they all stick together and have velocity (2.0 m/s) î + (0.5 m/s) ĵ. Friction is negligible.
a) What is the velocity of puck 2 before the collision?
b) What is the total impulse on puck 1 during the collision?
c) If the duration of the collision was 0.15 s what was the average force exerted by puck 3 on puck 1?
d) How much kinetic energy is gained or lost by the three-puck system?

A candidate for mayor in a small town has allocated $40,000 for last-minute advertising in the days preceding the election. Two types of ads will be used: radio and television. Each radio ad costs $200 and reaches an estimated 3000 people. Each television ad costs $500 and reaches an estimated 7,000 people. In planning the advertising campaign, the campaign manager would like to reach as many people as possible, but she has stipulated that at least 10 ads of each type must be used. Also, the number of radio ads must be at least as great as the number of television ads. How many ads of each type should be used? How many people will this reach? This should be done in excel.
