A common piece of advice about writing a "bad news message" is to use the indirect approach: use buffers before the reader gets the negative news. The article, "Buffers in bad news messages and recipient perceptions," claims that there is no empirical proof to support using the indirect approach with bad news.

Read the article, especially the section titled "Significant findings and their implications," then

write a bad news message using the strategy that Limaye suggests;

reflect on how this approach is similar or different to other "bad news messages" that you have read or received.

Which type of "bad news message" do you prefer? Why?

Myrtle Air Express decided to offer direct service from Cleveland to Myrtle Beach. Management must decide between a full-price service using the company’s new fleet of jet aircraft and a discount service using smaller capacity commuter planes. It is clear that the best choice depends on the market reaction to the service Myrtle Air offers. Management developed estimates of the contribution to profit for each type of service based upon two possible levels of demand for service to Myrtle Beach: strong and weak. The following table shows the estimated quarterly profits (in thousands of dollars):

Demand for Service
Service Strong Weak
Full price $1440 -$530
Discount $1050 $480
  1. What is the decision to be made, what is the chance event, and what is the consequence for this problem?

    The input in the box below will not be graded, but may be reviewed and considered by your instructor.



    How many decision alternatives are there?

    Number of decision alternatives =

    How many outcomes are there for the chance event?

    Number of outcomes =
  2. If nothing is known about the probabilities of the chance outcomes, what is the recommended decision using the optimistic, conservative and minimax regret approaches?
    Optimistic approach Full price service
    Conservative approach Discount service
    Minimax regret approach Discount service
  3. Suppose that management of Myrtle Air Express believes that the probability of strong demand is 0.7 and the probability of weak demand is 0.3. Use the expected value approach to determine an optimal decision.

    Optimal Decision : Discount service
  4. Suppose that the probability of strong demand is 0.8 and the probability of weak demand is 0.2. What is the optimal decision using the expected value approach?

    Optimal Decision : Full price service
  5. Determine the range of demand probabilities for which each of the decision alternatives has the largest expected value. If required, round your answer to four decimal places.

    Discount service  is the best choice if probability of strong demand is less than or equal to . For values of  greater than , the full price service is the best  choice.

The following data lists the ages of a random selection of actresses when they won an award in the category of Best​ Actress, along with the ages of actors when they won in the category of Best Actor. The ages are matched according to the year that the awards were presented. Complete parts​ (a) and​ (b) below.

Actress (years) 31   25   29   31   35   25   25   42   30   32

Matrix Multiplication with Threads - C/C++

**Please read entire question before answering**
**Please don't copy / paste code**

In this assignment you will use the Pthreads library to write a program that multiplies two square arrays and compare the difference between the imperative and parallel implementations of this algorithm.

Use the matrix mulltiplication algorithm.

Write a program that contains three functions:

(1) A function that has an integer as a parameter and returns a pointer to square array of integers (i.e. both dimensions should be equal). The function should allocate storage from the heap and randomly fill that dynamically allocated array.

(2) A function that uses the algorithm described above to compute the matrix square of an array. It should be passed a pointer to an array of integers and an integer defining the dimensions of the array. It should return a pointer to the array containing the product.

(3) A function that uses pthreads to compute the matrix square of an array. This function should have the same parameters and return values of the previous function

The main() function in your program needs to use these functions to compute the square of matrices with 100, 500, 1000, 5000, and 10000 integers
Assume that the values used for the size of these square arrays will always be even.

My suggestion is to think about dividing each array into smaller and smaller pieces until you reach some reasonably small size. At that point multiply the matrices using the iterative algorithm.

Create a program that asks the user for two positive integers. If the user's input for either integer is not positive (less than or equal to 0), re-prompt the user until a positive integer is input. You may assume that all inputs will be integers.

Print out a list, ascending from 1, of all divisors common to both integers. Then, print out a message stating whether or not the numbers are "relatively prime" numbers. Two positive integers are considered relatively prime if, and only if, the only common divisor they have is 1.

For example, if the user inputs 8 and 12 the output should be:

Common divisors of 8 and 12:

1

2

4

8 and 12 are not relatively prime.

If the user inputs 8 and 9, on the other hand, the output should be:

Common divisors of 8 and 9:

1

8 and 9 are relatively prime.

Starter Code:-

import java.util.Scanner;

public class RelativelyPrime {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scnr = new Scanner(System.in); //Scanner to get user input
  
//TODO
//Complete the program
