Ms. Addams is at the oral surgeon to have a simple procedure
performed. The surgeon
injected a local anesthetic in the region where the procedure was
to occur. After the surgery, Ms.
Addams had the customary numbness associated with the anesthesia.
However, the next day,
despite the return of sensation to the area, Ms. Addams found she
could not control the blinking
of her left eye and the eye was constantly tearing. Also, the left
corner of her mouth lost vertical
dimension (sagged). Fearing a stroke, Ms. Addams reported to the ER
where it was determined
that her symptoms were the result of trauma to one of her cranial
nerves during the injection of
local anesthetic.

1. What is the Cranial Nerve Damaged?
2. Function of This Nerve
3. How does the cranial nerves damage relate to the patients symptoms?

Suppose you have been building a model using the k-means clustering algorithm and you keep finding that a certain variable is essentially ignored by the model (in other words, the variable is very similarly distributed across all clusters). Describe a method that can be used to exaggerate or minimize the impact of a variable when using k-means clustering. Why does this method work?

Cary and Elle Bronson had been married for 15 years when trouble arose in their marriage. Cary’s long hours of working had taken a toll on it; he was rarely around even for family functions. The last straw came when Elle found lipstick on the collar of Cary’s shirt and the unmistakable scent of a very expensive woman’s perfume; this wasn’t the first time she had noticed the telltale signs of what appeared to be a clandes¬tine affair. The next day, Elle visited an attorney to begin divorce proceedings. After some small talk, the attorney, Mark Smithson, asked Elle about the major assets accu¬mulated during the marriage. “Oh, there are the cars—a Jeep Cherokee, a Chevy Suburban, and a Bentley,” she answered. “A Bentley?” he queried, somewhat surprised. “Yes,” said Elle. “Our restaurant, The Roasted Duck, has done very well over the years. We began the business with almost nothing and both worked there until Karen, our second child, was born. At that point, I became a stay-at-home mom and left every¬thing to Cary.” “I’ve eaten at The Roasted Duck—the food is excellent,” Mark said. “Thank you,” replied Elle. “Is this the only source of income for you and your husband, Mrs. Bronson?” he asked. “Yes, other than some interest and dividends,” she answered. She and the lawyer discussed other matters pertaining to the divorce. He told Elle that he would obtain information from Cary’s attorney so that an equitable division of assets could occur and the issue of the custody of their children would be settled. Two weeks later, Elle received a call from Mark. Through the discovery process, Cary’s attorney had submitted a valuation of the restaurant that seemed unusually low and had not listed any other assets that could account for the house and vehicles that the Bron¬sons had acquired and the private education that they had provided for their children. “That can’t be right!” Elle exclaimed. “Well, it certainly doesn’t look right,” Mark said, “I’ll look into this some more and let you know what I find.” After he hung up the phone, Mark called Cary’s attorney. “This value placed on the restaurant doesn’t make any sense. What’s your take on this?” After a short pause, the attorney replied, “Cary told me that the restaurant business is not doing well and, thus, the value has declined.” After Mark hung up the phone, he pondered the situation: There must be an answer to this mystery. One thing’s for sure; if Cary isn’t telling the truth, he might as well change the name of his restaurant to The Cooked Goose.
What evidence (i.e., physical, documentary, and observational) could be collected to determine whether the valuation is correct?
How could you go about collecting this evidence?
Assume for a moment that the valuation is correct.
What other sources of money could Cary have to maintain his family’s lifestyle?
How would you test your theories?

Investment A
You are 25 years old, having just started working. You are considering a retirement plan for a retirement at the age of 65. You want to be able to withdraw $73,000 from your savings account on each birthday for 20 years following your retirement at the age of 65. Your first withdrawal will be on your 66th birthday. To achieve your goal, you intend to make equal annual deposits in a pension scheme which offers 7% interest per year.
According to the Investment A, you expect a lump sum of $ 100,000 from a family inheritance fund that you will receive on your 50th birthday. You will put this fund into the retirement savings account. Furthermore, you have invested in a portfolio what will be giving you $ 1,300 per year (from age 25 through age 65) which are to be added the retirement savings account as well.
If you begin making these deposits on your 25nd birthday and continue to make deposits until you are 65 (your last deposit will be made on your 65th birthday), what is the amount you are required to deposit annually to be able to make the desired withdrawals at retirement?
Investment B
Here you still have the same retirement plan in mind, in other words you want to be able to withdraw $73,000 from your savings account on each birthday for 20 years following your retirement at the age of 65. However, the investment criteria are different:
You have invested in a business which gives an annual net profit
of $ 2,300 per year.
Furthermore, your employer will contribute $ 550 to the account per
year as part of the company’s
profit-sharing plan starting from age 45 to 65. What amount must you deposit annually now to be able to make the desired withdrawals at retirement? Which investment will you choose and why?
