I have a working code for a dice game. What is the best way to add coding to keep track how many points each player makes? When they tie both players gets no points. When they reach to 100 the game ends or unless the player quit. How would I make it work?

The following data represent crime rates per 1000 population for a random sample of 46 Denver neighborhoods.†
| 63.2 | 36.3 | 26.2 | 53.2 | 65.3 | 32.0 | 65.0 |
| 66.3 | 68.9 | 35.2 | 25.1 | 32.5 | 54.0 | 42.4 |
| 77.5 | 123.2 | 66.3 | 92.7 | 56.9 | 77.1 | 27.5 |
| 69.2 | 73.8 | 71.5 | 58.5 | 67.2 | 78.6 | 33.2 |
| 74.9 | 45.1 | 132.1 | 104.7 | 63.2 | 59.6 | 75.7 |
| 39.2 | 69.9 | 87.5 | 56.0 | 154.2 | 85.5 | 77.5 |
| 84.7 | 24.2 | 37.5 | 41.1 |
(a) Use a calculator with mean and sample standard deviation keys to find the sample mean x and sample standard deviation s. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)
| x = | crimes per 1000 people |
| s = | crimes per 1000 people |
(b) Let us say the preceding data are representative of the
population crime rates in Denver neighborhoods. Compute an 80%
confidence interval for μ, the population mean crime rate
for all Denver neighborhoods. (Round your answers to one decimal
place.)
| lower limit | crimes per 1000 people |
| upper limit | crimes per 1000 people |
(c) Suppose you are advising the police department about police
patrol assignments. One neighborhood has a crime rate of 61 crimes
per 1000 population. Do you think that this rate is below the
average population crime rate and that fewer patrols could safely
be assigned to this neighborhood? Use the confidence interval to
justify your answer.
Yes. The confidence interval indicates that this crime rate is below the average population crime rate.
Yes. The confidence interval indicates that this crime rate does not differ from the average population crime rate.
No. The confidence interval indicates that this crime rate is below the average population crime rate.
No. The confidence interval indicates that this crime rate does not differ from the average population crime rate.
(d) Another neighborhood has a crime rate of 75 crimes per 1000
population. Does this crime rate seem to be higher than the
population average? Would you recommend assigning more patrols to
this neighborhood? Use the confidence interval to justify your
answer.
Yes. The confidence interval indicates that this crime rate does not differ from the average population crime rate.
Yes. The confidence interval indicates that this crime rate is higher than the average population crime rate.
No. The confidence interval indicates that this crime rate is higher than the average population crime rate.
No. The confidence interval indicates that this crime rate does not differ from the average population crime rate.
(e) Compute a 95% confidence interval for μ, the
population mean crime rate for all Denver neighborhoods. (Round
your answers to one decimal place.)
| lower limit | crimes per 1000 people |
| upper limit | crimes per 1000 people |
(f) Suppose you are advising the police department about police
patrol assignments. One neighborhood has a crime rate of 61 crimes
per 1000 population. Do you think that this rate is below the
average population crime rate and that fewer patrols could safely
be assigned to this neighborhood? Use the confidence interval to
justify your answer.
Yes. The confidence interval indicates that this crime rate is below the average population crime rate.
Yes. The confidence interval indicates that this crime rate does not differ from the average population crime rate.
No. The confidence interval indicates that this crime rate is below the average population crime rate.
No. The confidence interval indicates that this crime rate does not differ from the average population crime rate.
(g) Another neighborhood has a crime rate of 75 crimes per 1000
population. Does this crime rate seem to be higher than the
population average? Would you recommend assigning more patrols to
this neighborhood? Use the confidence interval to justify your
answer.
Yes. The confidence interval indicates that this crime rate does not differ from the average population crime rate.
Yes. The confidence interval indicates that this crime rate is higher than the average population crime rate.
No. The confidence interval indicates that this crime rate is higher than the average population crime rate.
No. The confidence interval indicates that this crime rate does not differ from the average population crime rate.
(h) In previous problems, we assumed the x distribution
was normal or approximately normal. Do we need to make such an
assumption in this problem? Why or why not? Hint: Use the
central limit theorem.
Yes. According to the central limit theorem, when n ≥ 30, the x distribution is approximately normal.
Yes. According to the central limit theorem, when n ≤ 30, the x distribution is approximately normal.
No. According to the central limit theorem, when n ≥ 30, the x distribution is approximately normal.
No. According to the central limit theorem, when n ≤ 30, the x distribution is approximately normal.

In your post please discuss the following:
If a taxpayer sells or exchanges property, what are items that could be included in the calculation of the "amount realized"?
In your own words, explain "adjusted basis", what affects adjusted basis, and the reason adjusted basis is important for determining one's tax liability?
What is meant by "realized gain" versus "recognized gain"
Briefly discuss how the tax status (e.g., capital, ordinary, Section 1231 business use) of an asset affect the tax treatment of a realized gain or realized loss.

a Rank the following functions by order of growth; that is,find an
arrangement g1,g2,...,g30 of the functions satisfying g1 ∈ Ω(g2),g2
∈ Ω(g3),...,g29 ∈ Ω(g30). Partition your list into equivalence
classes such that ƒ(n) and g(n) are in the same class if and only
if ƒ(n)∈Θ(g(n)).

Ms. Saikley, AM at International BusinessServices, is wondering whether to vote to have a holiday office party this December. She has just spoken with the sales manager, who told her about an incident that happened at another company last holiday season. It seems that the other organization decided to have an “employees only” office party on Friday night from 5 to 8 p.m. at a local downtown restaurant. Two weeks later, the wife of one of the workers burst into the office area and began shouting accusations at an office worker who she thought was having an affair with her husband. It was embarrassing to everyone in the organization and most agreed it was unnecessary. The tantrum became loud and abusive on both parties parts—the wife making accusations and the office worker denying them. The situation became pretty tense at this point.
Questions:
1. If you were the AM of that organization, how would you have reacted to the situation just described? The office worker would have reported to you, and you were the first manager on the scene.
2. Should a policy be written covering office parties? If so, what would be your input on this policy? Should a policy be written concerning visitors who enter the work-place (even family members) and create a disturbance?

The owner of a development site is considering an offer from a parking lot operator to rent the parcel for the next five years, while the development is being planned and approved. The operator has offered to pay $65,000 today or an annuity of $20,000 at the end of each of the next 5 years. Which payment method should the site owner accept if her required rate of return is 15 percent?

Upton Umbrellas has a cost of equity of 11.9 percent, the YTM on the company's bonds is 6.4 percent, and the tax rate is 40 percent. The company's bonds sell for 103.5 percent of par. The debt has a book value of $417,000 and total assets have a book value of $955,000. If the market-to-book ratio is 2.83 times, what is the company's WACC?
