There are four (4) questions based on the following article from the ABA Journal. The Ohio Supreme Court has reversed an award of more than $360,000 in a suit against a grocery store chain that provided a motorized shopping cart to a customer who caused a collision and injured the plaintiff. The court said Giant Eagle wasn’t liable because there is insufficient evidence that its actions caused the incident. The plaintiff in the case, Barbara Rieger, was injured in December 2012 at a Giant Eagle in Brook Park, Ohio, when another shopper, Ruth Kurka, hit Rieger’s shopping cart with her motorized cart, according to the Ohio Supreme Court’s September 19th opinion. Rieger, who had been standing at the bakery counter, was knocked to the ground and taken to the hospital by ambulance, incurring $11,511 in medical bills. Kurka died before trial, and her estate settled with Rieger for $8,500. At trial, Rieger provided deposition testimony by Kurka’s husband, who said his wife had never been trained on how to operate the motorized cart. Rieger also presented evidence that there were 117 incidents involving motorized cars at Giant Eagle stores from 2004 to 2012. Deposition testimony by a Giant Eagle representative submitted at trial established that there are no instructions for operation on the motorized carts, and Giant Eagle assumes that people who use the carts know how to drive them. Jurors also heard evidence that Kurka had been driving motorized carts for more than a year and had no prior incidents. Jurors awarded $121,000 in compensatory damages and nearly $1.2 million in punitive damages. An appeals court lowered the punitive damages to $242,000. On appeal, Giant Eagle contended that the appeals court had eliminated the need to prove negligence and made the store an insurer for motorized cart incidents when it affirmed the verdict. The Ohio Supreme Court agreed with Giant Eagle and said a trial judge should have granted a directed verdict to the grocery store chain. It isn’t enough for a plaintiff to assert or speculate that a defendant’s actions or failure to act might have caused an injury, the court said. Instead, the plaintiff has to show that the harm would not have occurred but for the defendant’s behavior. “Despite the fact that Giant Eagle does not provide training for its customers who use the motorized carts, there is no evidence that training would have prevented the accident in this case,” the court said.
Giant Eagle took exception to the decision of the appeals court when it “eliminated the need to prove negligence and made the store an insurer for motorized cart incidents when it affirmed the verdict.” Since it was a negligence case, which requirement to prove negligence is demonstrated by the Ohio Supreme Court’s statement that “Giant Eagle wasn’t liable because there is insufficient evidence that its actions caused the incident”?

Discuss similarities and differences among these ways to measure data variation.
Why would it seem reasonable to pair the median with a box-and-whisker plot & to pair the mean with the standard deviation?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of each method of describing data spread?
Comment on statements such as following:
a) The range is easy to compute, but it doesn’t give much information;
b)
Although the standard deviation is more complicated to compute, it
has some significant
applications;
c) The
box-and-whisker plot is fairly easy to construct and it gives
a
lot of information at a
glance.

A student has a flat board and a small block. From the experiment, he wants to determine the coefficients of static and kinetic frictions.
A) Placing the block on the board, the student raises one end of the board slowly. When the board has a vertical height of 20.0 cm, the block begins sliding down the length of the board, 77.3 cm. Using this information, what is the coefficient of static friction?
B) As the block slid down the length of the board, it accelerated. If it took 1.60s for the block to slide down the full length of the board, calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction.
C) The student now lowers the angle of the board from parts A and B and pushes the block to start it moving. At what angle will the block slide down at a constant speed?
D) The student now sets the board at and angle of 30.0 degrees. As they put the block on the board, they begin pushing on the block, perpendicular to the board, to prevent it from sliding. What is the minimum force needed to do this?

File has a format Name and number, the number represents power. The name and the (integer) power are separated by some amount of space. Importantly, any line that begins with a hash '#' are comments and they need to be ingored. Write a program that reads from that file, and prints out only the name of the hero with the strongest power. That name should be capitalized (not uppercase, but capitalized, as in 'Galadriel')
