Jon Bowers argues that we should seek perfection. Moreover, he states that perfection is achievable and the steps needed to obtain it will only make you stronger and better. He believes that failure and loss may come from trying to seek perfection but that these steps are necessary for success. He gives several examples regarding why we should not settle for giving 100%. I do not agree with him as I believe that nothing and no one in this world is perfect, and will never be able to be perfect. I believe that perfection does not exist, and although we can try to achieve it we should not allow our lives to be determined by the outcomes we obtain. To further substantiate his argument, Bower’s mentions that we have “stopped valuing perfection” and that this is wrong because “perfectionism is an attitude developed in the small things and then applied to the bigger things”. In other words, he thinks that if you do not aim for perfection in the little things, which are the ones that matter, you will never be able to take care of the big things. Later on he also gives some examples like saying that if we allow things to be “good enough” then we will make mistakes all around. This includes giving babies to their wrong parents, spelling words wrong in the dictionary or having more than 1 million cards with the wrong information on the magnetic strip on the back. I do not agree with these statements because I think he is over exaggerating. I do not think that we should settle for good enough but I don’t think that we do. We aim to make things perfect but mistakes are a part of human life. As humans we will make a mistake at some point and we can only accept it and move on. I believe that striving for perfection in all cases is not reasonable and will really only make us unhappy because this is ultimately unachievable. Instead, we should work on the way we handle our mistakes and learn to move on so we can do better the next time.

Construct two confidence intervals for the population mean: a 95% confidence interval and a 99% confidence interval. Assume that your data is normally distributed and the population standard deviation is unknown Here is the data set of 60 numbers. 69 35 60 55 49 60 72 70 70 73 68 72 74 69 46 48 70 55 49 60 72 70 76 56 59 64 71 69 55 61 70 55 45 69 54 48 60 61 50 59 60 62 63 53 64 50 69 52 68 70 69 59 58 69 65 61 59 71 71 68

True/False

Suppose that Lynn enjoys sugar in her coffee. She has very particular preferences, and she must have exactly three spoonfuls of sugar for each cup of coffee. Let C be the number of cups of coffee, and S be the number of spoonfuls of sugar. Also, let PC be the price of a cup of coffee. Suppose Lynn has $12 to spend on Coffee and Sugar. Also, the price of Sugar is $.20 per spoonful. Graph Lynn’s Price consumption curve for prices, PC = $.60, PC = $.90, and PC = $1.80.

a) Please put the number of cups of coffee (C) on the horizontal axis, and the number of spoonfuls of Sugar (S) on the vertical axis. Be sure to graph each budget constraint associated with each price of Coffee, identify Lynn’s optimal bundle on each budget constraint, and make sure your graph is labeled carefully and accurately.

Write a program that prompts the user to enter the exchange rate from currency in U.S. dollars to Saudi Riyals. Prompt the user to enter 0 to convert from U.S. dollars to Saudi Riyals and 1 to convert from Saudi Riyal and U.S. dollars. Prompt the user to enter the amount in U.S. dollars or Saudi Riyal to convert it to Saudi Riyal or U.S. dollars, respectively.

1. Write a program that prompts the user to enter the exchange rate from currency in U.S. dollars to Saudi Riyals. Prompt the user to enter 0 to convert from U.S. dollars to Saudi Riyals and 1 to convert from Saudi Riyal and U.S. dollars. Prompt the user to enter the amount in U.S. dollars or Saudi Riyal to convert it to Saudi Riyal or U.S. dollars, respectively.

Here are the sample runs:

Enter the exchange rate from dollars to SR: 3.75
Enter 0 to convert dollars to SR and 1 vice versa: 0
Enter the dollar amount: 100
$100.0 is 375.0 SR
