2) A new drug is designed to reduce a person's blood pressure. Thirteen randomly selected hypertensive patients receive the new drug. Suppose the probability that a hypertensive patient's blood pressure drops if he or she is untreated is 0.5. Then what is the probability of observing 11 or more blood pressure drops in a random sample of 13 treated patients if the new drug is in fact ineffective in reducing blood pressure?

A vehicle moves along a straight road. The vehicle's position is given by $f(t)$, where $t$ is measured in seconds since the vehicle starts moving. During the first 10 seconds of the motion, the vehicle's acceleration is proportional to the cube root of the time since the start. Which of the following differential equations describes this relationship, where $k$ is a positive constant? A $\frac{d f}{d t}=k \sqrt[3]{t}$ (B) $\frac{d f}{d t}=k \sqrt[3]{f}$ C $\frac{d^{2} f}{d t^{2}}=k \sqrt[3]{t}$ (D) $\frac{d^{2} f}{d t^{2}}=k \sqrt[3]{f}$

Using LC-3 Programming Exercise 1 Use .BLKW to set up a remote array of 10 values, starting at memory location x4000, as in lab 3. Now programmatically populate the array with the numbers 0 through 9 (note - NOT the characters '0' through '9'!) – i.e. hard-code just the first value (0), then calculate the rest one at a time, storing them in the array as you go. Remember the proper way of setting a register to 0! After you've stored them all, grab the seventh value (i.e. 6) and store it in R2. Clearly, you can't access this location via a label, so you'll need its actual address. How will you obtain that? And how will you use that address to get the value stored there? As always, step through your program and examine the values as they are stored in the array, and examine the final value stored in R2, to make sure your program works as expected. Exercise 2 You'll notice that Exercise 1 didn't ask you to output to console the array you built. Why not? Because as you know by now, numbers are not characters! So now copy your exercise 1 code into lab4_ex2.asm, and add an output loop, making it output the characters corresponding to the numbers stored in your array. Exercise 3 Let's try another modification of our well-used array program from Exercise 1: This time, instead of calculating and storing the numbers from 0 to 9 in the array, calculate and store the first ten powers of 2, starting with 20 = 1 in array index 0. Finally, grab the seventh value (26) from the array, and store it in R2. In order to do this, you will have to figure out how to calculate powers of 2. Some hints: Mathematically speaking: How do I obtain 2n+1 if I know 2n? What LC-3 operation could I use to multiply a number by 2? As always, place a breakpoint in your program, and step through it, examining the values as they are being stored in the array, and examine the final value stored in R2,  to make sure your program works as expected. Pay attention to both the decimal and hex representations of the values being stored. You already understand that you can't simply output the values in the array to the console “as is”, so we have to manipulate them somehow to turn them into characters. But this time all but the first four are multi-digit numbers when represented as decimal values, so our trick from the last exercise won't work – it can only convert the numbers from 0 to 9 into the single-digit ascii characters '0' through '9'.  Exercise 4 For now, we will instead observe what happens if we attempt to do what we just said can't be done - output the contents of the array "as is", i.e. as if they were ascii codes (which they are not!). Copy your exercise 3 code into your lab4_ex4.asm file, and add a second loop that loads the content of each element of the array into R0 and outputs it to the console using OUT. Now place a breakpoint at the start of your display loop and step through it: You will need to keep an eye on the Console to understand what is going on!! Please add comments!!!

7. The number of surface flaws in plastic panels used in the interior of automobiles has a Poisson distribution with mean of 0.04 flaws per square foot of plastic panel. Assume automobile interior contains 10 square feet of plastic panel.(a) What is the probability that there are no surface flaws in an auto's interior?(b) If 10 cars are sold to a rental company, what is the probability that none of the 10 cars has any surface flaws?(c) If 10 cars are sold to a rental company, what is the probability that at most two cars have any surface flaws?

Globalization has created many opportunities for organizations. There are many advantages and ways to create value through outsourcing portions of one's global supply chain. For each opportunity, there are also many ways for the project to run into problems. In your initial post, address the following: Identify one example of an organization that created value for itself through outsourcing part of its supply chain. Provide a link to one resource. Identify the benefit that occurred. How did this benefit help the organization create value? Who was the value created for—the organization, or the customer? In your replies to at least two peers, discuss potential risks of outsourcing for the examples they provided—for example, risks to supplier quality or stability, intellectual property, or reputation. The following questions may help develop your responses: Can you provide an example of an organization that started outsourcing the supply chain and then stopped? What risks did the organization face that caused them to stop the project? Can you provide an example of an organization that outsourced similarly and faced reputational damage due to the project?
