Question 1: Rebel without a cause
Two drivers speed head-on toward each other and a collision is bound to occur unless one of them deviates at the last minute. If both deviate, everything is okay (they both win 1). If one deviates and the other does not, then it is a great success for the driver with iron nerves (he wins 2) and a great disgrace for the deviating driver (he loses 1). If both drivers have iron nerves, disaster strikes (both lose 2).

1. Alberta Einstein teaches a business class at Podunk University. To evaluate the students in this class, she has given three tests. It is now the end of the semester and Alberta asks you to create a program that inputs each student’s test scores and outputs the average score for each student and the overall class average. (Hint: The outer loop should allow for Ms. Einstein to input all the students, one by one, and the inner loop should accept the three test scores and compute the average for each student.)

Federal welfare programs expanded dramatically during President Johnson’s War on Poverty, continuing a prominent government role in welfare since Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal. In 1997, the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) was replaced by Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Identify the major changes from AFDC to TANF. How does the implementation of block grants introduce considerable variation among the states? Explain the relative advantages and disadvantages of the transition from AFDC to TANF.
