(CO A) Review some of the Panel on Audit Effectiveness recommendations.

Write a method named minimumValue, which returns the smallest value in an array that is passed (in) as an argument. The method must use Recursion to find the smallest value. Demonstrate the method in a full program, which does not have to be too long regarding the entire code (i.e. program). Write (paste) the Java code in this word file (.docx) that is provided. (You can use additional pages if needed, and make sure your name is on every page in this word doc.) Use the following array to test the method: int[] series array = {-5, -10, +1999, +99, +100, +3, 0, +9, +300, -200, +1, -300} Make sure that the series array only tests for values, which are positive, given your recursive method.

Part II (25 points) Algorithmic Performance as you are aware, consists (mainly) of 2 dimensions: Time and Space. From a technical perspective, discuss the following:  Regarding runtime, discuss algorithmic performance with respect to its runtime performance. As you develop an algorithm, what must you also consider in terms of some of the trade-offs? How would you go about estimating the time required for an algorithm’s efficiency (i.e. time to complete in terms of its potential complexity)? What techniques can you use? Give an example of how to measure it.

A student holds a book at rest on the palm of his hand. he lifts the book straight up, bringing it to rest again at a high point.

PART A:

1. Is the net work done on the book positive negative or zero? Explain.

For this, I think the net work is zero because as he speeds the book up the work being done is positive, but the work is negative when he begins to slow down to rest again at high point.

2. is the change in the gravitational potential energy postive, negative or zero? explain.

For this, I think this is positive because the displacement of the book is upward.

3. Is the ttotal mechanical energy conserved? Explain.

For this, I feel like its not conserved... but don't know why.

***** for part A, if you have better explanation, please do tell me. also, Part A #3, Could someone explain to me why mechanical energy is not conserved?

PART B:

Consider the following discussion about the situation described above:

Darius: "when the book was lifted up, it gained potential energy but not kinetic energy. That means the change in total mechanical energy is positive."

Katrina: "Also, the net work on the book is zero, because the work you did on the book is cancelled by the work the earth did on the book."

Volibear: "Does this mean the law of conservation of energy is violated? There was zero net work on the book but its energy increased."

Question: Which of these ideas are solid and which ideas need to be revised? How would you help Darius, Katrina, Volibear make sense of the situation?

Please answer with clarity.

You wish to test the claim that mu equals880 at a level of significance of alpha equals0.01 and are given sample statistics n equals 35 and x overbar equals 850. Assume the population standard deviation is 82. Compute the value of the standardized test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.

A company has 2 types of machines that produce the same product, one recently new and another older. Based on past data, the older machine produces 12% defective products while the newer machine produces 8% defective products. Due to capacity needs, the company must use both machines to meet demand. In addition, the newer machine produces 3 times as many products as the older machine.  

1. Setup a probability table depicting the machine type and defective outcome
2. Given a randomly selected product was tested and found to be defective, what is the probability it was produced by the new machine?
3. What is the probability that any selected product is defective (regardless of machine type)?
4. What is the probability that any selected product is non-defective and produced by the older machine?     

What are the data structures. How these are useful in different fields of computer science. Discuss at least three fields.

What is the “Time Value of Money” and why does money have a time value associated with it?

Consider a binomial pricing economy. There are two dates only, date 0 and 1. A European call written on the market portfolio expires on date 1; its exercise price is $100. The price of this call at date 0 is $8. The market portfolio has a price of $100 at date 0 and its future price at date 1 will be either $120 or $95, with probability 0.6 and 0.4 respectively.

a) Compute the expected returns of the call option and the market portfolio.

b) What is the risk-free rate implied by this call option and the market portfolio?

1. Create Lab project
2. Add the following codes to your main method. Compile and run the program with some arguments and observe the output.

      printf("You have entered %d arguments.\n", argc);

      for (int i = 0; i < argc; ++i)

        printf( "argument %d: %s\n",i+1,argv[i]);

3. Create a function called simpleFileWrite() and add the following feature: Open a write only file called “myfile.txt” and write characters into it. The set of characters are read form the keyboard until cntrl-z is entered. (use putc() and getc() function; in your c code use EOF to compare with cntrl-z).
4. Compile, build and run the program. Now print the file contents on the console using the linux command “cat myfile.txt” and observe the contents.
5. Create a function called simpleFileRead() and add the following feature: Open the file “myfile.txt” as a read only file from within your program and read characters from it and print it on the console using the printf command.
   1. Also count the number of characters in the file
   2. Observe the output to compare whether it matches with the entries that you made from the keyboard earlier.
6. Create a function called stringHandler() and add the following feature: Write set of strings each of length 40 into a file “stringc.txt”. Close the file and then reopen to read. Now display the contents of the file (use fputs() and fgets() function).
7. Create a function called mixedDataHandler() and the add the following feature: Write name, age and height of a person into a data file “person.txt”. Close the file and reopen it to read from it (use fprintf() and fscanf() function).
8. Create a C file called myCopy.c, which will process command line arguments. The first argument will be the name of the program itself, the second argument will be the source file to copy from, and the 3^rd argument will be the destination file to copy to. If the user doesn’t provide argument 2 then show error message that “Source file name needed”. If the user does not provide the 3^rd argument then use “default.txt” as the name of the output file.

please help me, this is c programming. thank you in advance.

A nation's economy fluctuates instead of growing at a steady pace every year. These fluctuations are generally referred to as the business cycle. Describe the four different phases of the business cycle.

1. Suppose you plan to retire at age 70, and you want to be able to withdraw an amount of $87,000 per year on each birthday from age 70 to age 100 (a total of 31 withdrawals). If the account which contains your savings earns 5.7% per year simple interest, how much money needs to be in the account by the time you reach your 70th birthday? (Answer to the nearest dollar.)
   
   Hint: This can be solved as a 30-year ordinary annuity plus one withdrawal at age 70, or as a 31-year annuity due.
