You are performing an initial health history of a 58-year-old Hispanic male who is a new patient at the clinic. His wife is with him in the examination room. He has a persistent cough and this morning noticed that he had specks of blood when he coughed. He says he has always had a bit of a cough, but it seemed to get worse about a year ago, but he never really worried about it, because he thought it was just bronchitis-like he had a couple of years ago. He is a long-time smoker since he was 16 years of age and smokes a little less than two packs of cigarettes per day. His wife states that he seems to be getting thinner and he is definitely more short of breath while playing baseball with the grandchildren. His wife is very concerned that her husband has developed lung cancer.

How might this patient have developed lung cancer?

Organizational structures provide a foundation for the organization in terms of communication, decision making, power distribution, etc. At the end of the day organizations fall into one of three major categories in terms of their formal organizational structure: functional, divisional, matrix. For this assignment, you will utilize the organization you are currently or have worked for to answer the following questions:

1. List an organization in which you have or are currently working.

2. What organizational structure does the organization embody? Justify this answer.

3. Describe the benefits of the organizational structure in terms of your experience in the organization.

4. Describe the drawbacks of the organizational structure in terms of your experience in the organization.

5. Would the organization benefit from a change in structure? Why or why not?

6. How does the organizational structure support the organization's culture? Explain thoroughly.

Green Vehicle​ Inc., manufactures electric cars and small delivery trucks. It has just opened a new factory where the C1 car and the T1 truck can both be manufactured. To make either​ vehicle, processing in the assembly shop and in the paint shop are required. It takes 1/25 of a day and ​1/75 of a day to paint a truck of type T1 and a car of type C1 in the paint​ shop, respectively. It takes 1/45 of a day to assemble either type of vehicle in the assembly shop. A T1 truck and a C1 car yield profits of $325 and $225​, respectively, per vehicle sold.

Formulate the linear program that provides the combination of T1 and C1 that maximizes yield, clearly specifying (a) variables, (b) objective function and (c) constraints.

Using Jeliot, execute the following tree algorithm:

     import Prog1Tools.IOTools;
    
     class Node {
          Node left;
          Node right;
          int value;

public Node(int value) {
              this.value = value;
          }
     }

     public class GeneralTreeTest {
       public static void main(String[] args) {

// build a simple tree add 5 nodes to the tree
          Node root = new Node(5);
          System.out.println("Tree Example");
          System.out.println("Building tree with root value " + root.value);
          insert(root, 1);
          insert(root, 8);
          insert(root, 6);
          insert(root, 3);
          insert(root, 9);
          System.out.println("Traversing tree ");
          printOrder(root);

}

     public static void insert(Node node, int value) {
          if (value < node.value) {
            if (node.left != null) {
              insert(node.left, value);
            } else {
              System.out.println(" Inserted " + value + " to left of "
                  + node.value);
              node.left = new Node(value);
            }
         } else if (value > node.value) {
            if (node.right != null) {
              insert(node.right, value);
            } else {

System.out.println(" Inserted " + value + " to right of "
                      + node.value);
                 node.right = new Node(value);
             }
          }
     }

     public static void printOrder(Node node) {
        if (node != null) {
           printOrder(node.left);
           System.out.println(" Traversed " + node.value);
           printOrder(node.right);
        }
     }
}

This algorithm first inserts five nodes into a tree structure and then traverses the tree. Using the Jeliot environment, load, compile and execute this java algorithm to understand its operation. Determine the kind of tree structure that is being created and determine what kind of traversal the algorithm is conducting.

Finally, conduct an Asymptotic analysis for the provided algorithm and report your analysis including Big O, Big Omega, or Big Theta as appropriate. Post your findings to the discussion forum and review and respond to the postings of your peers.

If you have arrived at a different answer or analysis than your peers, discuss your findings with your peers and attempt to determine whose analysis is most accurate.

A furniture store has maintained monthly sales records for the past 20​ months, with the results shown below.

Assume you have determined there is NO SEASONALITY in this time series.​ Therefore, you want to fit a linear trend model​ (that is, trend​ only) to the data.

Calculate the linear trend equation.​ (Round coefficients to the nearest whole​ number.)

y Subscript t Baseline equalsyt=nothing​+

nothing​*t

What are the test statistic and​ p-value to test for a significant trend. Round both to two decimal places.

T​ = nothing

​p-value = nothing

Is the trend significant using a​ 10% significance​ level?

Yes

No

What is the value of​ R-squared? (Round to two​ decimals.)

nothing

Forecast the sales for the next month​ (t =​ 21). (Round to the nearest whole​ number.)

Upper F 21 equalsF21=nothing

Based on the​ R-squared value, how confident are you in this​ forecast? (That​ is, how accurate do you think the forecasts will​ be?)

A.

Not confident at all because the​ R-squared value is so low

B.

Very confident because the​ R-squared value is high

C.

Somewhat confident because the​ R-squared value is moderate​ (not extremely high but not extemely​ low)

Design specifications for an arrow are that they each weigh 100 ± 10 grams. The process to make the arrows has a standard deviation of four units.

a. What is the process capability index? Assume that the process is centered with respect to specifications. Round your intermediate and final answers to 4 decimal places (e.g., .12345 would be rounded as .1235, not .1234).

b. Suppose the process average shifts to 92. Calculate the new process capability index. Round your intermediate and final answers to 4 decimal places (e.g., .12345 would be rounded as .1235, not .1234).

c. What is the probability of defective output after the process shift? Round "z" values to 2 decimal places. Round probabilities to 4 decimal places (so a probability of .12345 would be entered as .1235, not .1234 or 12.345% or something else).

On Franco’s first day of work as an entry-level account manager at an advertising firm, he had lunch with three women who also were entry-level account managers at the firm. During lunch, the three women made comments to Franco that they appreciated how “fit” he was and that they were glad to have a male colleague who was “easy on the eyes” and “probably great in the sack.” Franco is very conservative about sexuality and these comments made him feel very uncomfortable. Franco quit his new job immediately after lunch and filed a sexual harassment suit against the advertising firm claiming that he experienced a hostile work environment.

Using the legal rule for determining whether a hostile work environment exists, identify two reasons why Franco is unlikely to win his lawsuit.

An evolutionary psychologist hypothesizes that people will increase from the standard 24-hour sleeping and walking cycle if not exposed to the usual pattern of sunlight. To test this notion, a sample of volunteers were placed (individually) in a room in which there was no outside sunlight, no clocks, and other indications of time. They stayed in the room for a month and could turn the lights on and off as they pleased. What can the psychologist conclude with α = 0.01? The data are below.

a) What is the appropriate test statistic?
---Select--- na z-test One-Sample t-test Independent-Samples t-test Related-Samples t-test

b)
Population:
---Select--- the volunteers 24-hour cycle no outside sunlight lights on lights off
Sample:
---Select--- the volunteers 24-hour cycle no outside sunlight lights on lights off

c) Compute the appropriate test statistic(s) to make a decision about H₀.
(Hint: Make sure to write down the null and alternative hypotheses to help solve the problem.)
p-value =  ; Decision:  ---Select--- Reject H0 Fail to reject H0

d) compute the corresponding effect size(s) and indicate magnitude(s).
If not appropriate, input and/or select "na" below.
d =  ;   ---Select--- na trivial effect small effect medium effect large effect
r² =  ;   ---Select--- na trivial effect small effect medium effect large effect

e) Make an interpretation based on the results.

People significantly increase from the 24-hour sleeping and walking cycle if not exposed to the usual pattern of sunlight.

People significantly decrease from the 24-hour sleeping and walking cycle if not exposed to the usual pattern of sunlight.    

People do not significantly change from the 24-hour sleeping and walking cycle if not exposed to the usual pattern of sunlight.
