One evening Alexis visits the library of a private college a few miles from her family's apartment, and she finds plenty of unused PCs connected to the Internet. She surreptitiously looks over the shoulder of another student to learn a valid login/password combination. Alexis returns to the library several times a week, and by using its PCs and printers she efficiently completes the extra research projects, graduates from high school with straight A's, and gets a full- ride scholarship to attend a prestigious university. Questions 1. Did Alexis do anything wrong? 2. Who benefited from Alexis's course action? 3. Who was hurt by Alexis's course of action? 4. Did Alexis have an unfair advantage over her high school classmates? 5. Would any of your answers change if it turns out Alexis did not win a college scholarship after all and is now working at the Burger Barn? 6. Are there better ways Alexis could have accomplished her objective? 7. What additional information, if any, would help you answer the previous questions?

Penalty kicks in soccer. Let's consider a situation where a football player has to faceoff the goalkeeper in a penalty kickoff. Standing infront of the goalpost, the Kicker (player 1) has several angle which he could kick the ball to the goalpost. Let's say he could kick the ball in the Left corner of the goalpost, Right corner of the goalpost or shoot straight through the Center. And, same as the player, the goalkeeper (player 2) also has three options to predict which direction the player would kick the ball and try to stop it. This game can be represented using the following 3 x 3 matrix: Left Center Right 63 37 94 95 Left 100' 100 100' 100 100' 100 100. 6 100' 100 91 9 94 Center 100' 100 100' 100 94 6 93 7 60 40 Right 100' 100 100' 100 100' 100 In the above matrix, the payoff of the kicker is the probability that he scores and the payoff of the goalkeeper is the probability that the kicker doesn't score. We know that the total probability of an event is 1, therefore, all the…

Five schoolgirls sat for an examination. Their parents – so they thought – showed an undue degree of interest in the result. They therefore agreed that, in writing home about the examination, each girl should make one true statement and one untrue one. The following are the relevant passages from their letters: Betty Kitty was 2nd I was 3rd Ethel I was on top Joan was 2nd Joan I was 3rd Ethel was last Kitty I came out 2nd Mary was only 4th Mary I was 4th Betty was 1stWrite a prolog program to solve this puzzle. A completely working solution is required for extra points, i.e. all or nothing proposition.

Hepatitis B is an infection of your liver, where it spreads when people come in contact with the blood,open sores, or body fluids of someone who has the hepatitis B virus. Over the years, vaccines havegenerated some controversy over safety, but no convincing evidence of harm has been found. Despitethe fact that children can have a reaction to any vaccine, the important thing to know is that thebenefits of vaccinations far outweigh the possible side effects.Even though the Screening and Immunisation Team in South Africa operate a failsafe system toensure that children born to hepatitis B positive mothers are appropriately vaccinated in a timelyfashion to reduce the risk of them contracting chronic hepatitis B, there are occurrences when a motheris not informed of their child’s next scheduled vaccination.They have approached you as a project manager to develop a mobile app for this purpose. The teamnoted that the app must track routine immunisation, which would be useful for parents.…

Question 4 This question assesses Block 2 Part 4. Parts a and b of this question involve creating drawings or descriptions. You can make your drawings whichever way is easiest or fastest for you. For instance, you could simply make your drawings using pencil and paper then scan or photograph them. Alternatively, you can answer by providing descriptions of the drawings. In that case, keep close to the formulations used in the long figure descriptions of the examples given in Section 4.5 of Block 2 Part 4. a.Consider the following lines entered on the Python shell: >>> Q4_TMA02 = 'submitted' >>> id(Q4_TMA02) 1944127298928 >>> type(Q4_TMA02) >>> Q4_TMA02 'submitted' Draw (or describe) the object and its label that the Python interpreter creates in response to the assignment Q4_TMA02 = 'submitted' in the interactive shell above. Your drawing or description should include a String object with a similar level of detail as Figure 4.14 in…

Jin Mori is like any other student who loves sleeping. Jin Taejin, his grandfather, imposes a waking schedule that Jin Mori must follow to avoid tardiness at his school. The schedule stated that on weekdays, Mori must be awake at "7:00" and at "10:00" at weekends. Taejin added an exemption for their school vacation. If it is their school vacation, the schedule is "10:00" for weekdays and "off" for weekends. If Jin will not follow the schedule, he is not allowed to practice his favorite martial art, taekwondo.
