Concept explainers
Your English professor has announced the following grading policy: For each essay, the highest score in the class will be entered as a 100%; all other scores will be entered as the percent of that top score. For example, if the highest essay is a 50 out of 100, it will be counted as a perfect paper, and essays with a score of 40 out of 100 will be entered as an 80%. The final grade for the course will be determined using these adjusted percentages, with 90% and above an A, 80% and above a B, 70% and above a C and below 70% not passing.
The students all get together and decide not to work hard on the next paper because if nobody does well, they will all do okay. This plan
results in a Nash Equilibrium.
A.) is a solid commitment device, and thus stable.
B.) will be unstable because there is an incentive to break the agreement.
C.) will be stable because there are no incentives to deviate.
D.) requires everyone to follow their dominant strategy.

- Last month Joe purchased some stock in Acme Software, Inc. Here are the details of thepurchase:• The number of shares that Joe purchased was 1,000.• When Joe purchased the stock, he paid $32.87 per share.• Joe paid his stockbroker a commission that amounted to 2% of the amount he paidfor the stock.Two weeks later Joe sold the stock. Here are the details of the sale:• The number of shares that Joe sold was 1,000.• He sold the stock for $33.92 per share.• He paid his stockbroker another commission that amounted to 2% of the amount hereceived for the stock.Write a program that displays the following information:• The amount of money Joe paid for the stock. • The amount of commission Joe paid his broker when he bought the stock. • The amount that Joe sold the stock for. • The amount of commission Joe paid his broker when he sold the stock. • Display the amount of profit that Joe made after selling his stock and paying the twocommissions to his broker.

Each candidate is assigned name and a specific symbol. A ballot paper is used to cast the vote. Each ballot paper contains symbols of the candidate. A person can vote a candidate by stamping on a specific symbol. The ballot paper should be considered as a spoilt ballot if a person does not stamp or stamp on more than one symbol. Finally ballot paper has to be dropped in a ballot box. Write a C++ program that reads the information from the user to enter the name of the candidate, the total number of received votes, and the spoilt votes in a local election. The total number of participants (candidates) are 5. If the user mistakenly enters any negative value, the program should consider that value as a positive integer. The program should output the name, total received votes, and the percentage of obtained votes by the winning candidate. The program should…arrow_forwardMary Jane would like to invest her money amounting 100,000 at the bank. Before investing her money, she would like to determine which type of account that she will chose. The amount of interest that her money earns depends on which type of account the money is in. The bank has 6 different types of accounts and they earm interest as follows: Account type personal financial personal homeowner Interest earned 1.5% 2.0% personal gold small business big business gold business 2.5% 3.0% 3.5% 4.0% Mary Jane as a programmer would like to make a program that computes automatically the interest earned of her money in each type of account.

- Process Scheduling: Select all statements below that are true The waiting time is included in the turnaround time. In interactive systems, short response times are unimportant. The time taken in an interactive program from the issuance of a command to the commencement of a response to that command is known as the response time. The response time is the time required for a particular process to complete, from submission time to completion. Throughput is the number of processes executed per time unit. The concept of virtual (run)time in the Completely Fair Scheduler is used to ensure fairness in the allocation of processor capacity.arrow_forwardCreate a Raptor Flow Chart for this problem (hand written or using a software) ; screen capture it or save it as a Picture. and attach it here A certain electrical company charges its customers for electricity as follows. Kilowatt-Hours (kWh) O to 500 501 to 1000 over 1000 Cost per kWh (in pesos) 10 10 + 0.05 for each kwh over 500 35 + 0.03 for each kwh above 1000 Enter the previous meter reading and the present meter reading, calculate the cost and print out how much is charged. Sample Input: Input the previous meter reading (in kWh): 1056 Input the present meter reading (in kWh): 1232 Expected Output: Electric bill (in pesos): 1,760.00 Sample Input: Input the previous meter reading (in kWh): 1056 Input the present meter reading (in kWh): 1560 Expected Output: Electric bill (in pesos): 5,040.20 Sample Input: Input the previous meter reading (in kWh): 1056 Input the present meter reading (in kWh): 2172 Expected Output: Electric bill (in pesos): 39,063.48arrow_forwardWhenever you mail a letter, you must decide how much postage to put on the envelope. You like to use this rule of thumb – use a stamp for every five sheets of paper or fraction thereof. For example, if you have 11 sheets of paper, then you use three stamps. Since you’re parsimonious, if an envelope requires more than three stamps, then you simply don’t mail the envelope. Show how the number of stamps per envelope would be calculated. Provide a solution in the form of pseudocode. Your pseudocode must read in appropriate data and print how many stamps to use.arrow_forward
- A hospital dietitian prepares breakfast menus every morning for the hospital patients. Part of the dietitian's responsibility is to make sure that minimum daily requirements for vitamins A and B are met. At the same time, the cost of the menus must be kept as low as possible. The main breakfast staples providing vitamins A and B are eggs, bacon, and cereal. The vitamin requirements and vitamin contributions for each staple follow: Vitamin Contributions Minimum Daily Requirements Vitamin mg/Egg mg/Bacon Strip mg/Cereal Cup А 2 4 1 16 В 3 2 1 12 An egg costs $0.04, a bacon strip costs $0.03, and a cup of cereal costs $0.02. The dietitian wants to know how much of each staple to serve per order to meet the minimum daily vitamin require- ments while minimizing total cost. a. Formulate a linear programming model for this problem. b. Solve the model by using the computer.arrow_forwardContext: Measuring Air Quality Levels of various air borne pollutants such as Nitrogen Monoxide (NO), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (also called particle pollution) are all major contributors to the measure of overall air quality. For instance, NO2 is measured using micrograms in each cubic metre of air (㎍/m3). A microgram (㎍) is one millionth of a gram. A concentration of 1 ㎍/m3 means that one cubic metre of air contains one microgram of pollutant. To protect our health, the UK Government sets two air quality objectives for NO2 in their Air Quality Strategy The hourly objective, which is the concentration of NO2 in the air, averaged over a period of one hour. The annual objective, which is the concentration of NO2 in the air, averaged over a period of a year. The following table shows the colour encoding and the levels for Objective 1 above, the mean hourly ratio, adopted in the UK.

When the program runs, it will randomly choose a number between 1 and 6. (Or whatever other integer you prefer — the number of sides on the die is up to you.) The program will print what that number is. It should then ask you if you’d like to roll again. For this project, you’ll need to set the min and max number that your dice can produce. For the average die, that means a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 6. You’ll also want a function that randomly grabs a number within that range and prints it.
