Depending on the cause of death, racial/ethnic and gender disparities exist on years of potential life lost in the United States. Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL) can be defined as the number of years lost when death occurs before one’s life expectancy. For this assignment, life expectancy will be set for everyone at 75. For YPLL, a death of a very young person is weighted more than a death of a very old person (McKenzie, Pinger, & Seabert, 2018). AS Instructions: Investigate one cause of death (infant mortality, homicide, suicide, unintentional injuries (such as car accidents, drowning, falling, etc.), pregnancy complications, COVID-19, etc.) in the United States and research the YPLL for racial/ethnic groups and genders. Summarize your findings in your paper and discuss how calculating YPLL can change the way we think about that particular cause of death differently.

Question 31 A survey on pollution has been conducted on four cities. The degree of pollution is classified as not polluted, moderately polluted, and heavily polluted. The results of the survey are illustrated in the table below: City city1 city2 city3 city4 Xi1: not polluted 0.3 0.2 0.1 0.7 X12: moderately polluted 0.4 0.2 0.2 0.4 Xi3: heavily polluted 0.3 0.6 0.5 0.1 Use the cosine amplitude method to develop the fuzzy relation R that relates the pollution degree to the city.

A warehouse is where the company stores its products and the storage bins in the warehouse are specified identified to their aisle, location in the aisle, and its shelf. There are a total of 40 aisles, 64 horizontal locations in each aisle, and 6 shelves. What is the least number of products the company can have so that at least two products must be stored in the same bin?
A circus is putting on a tower show in which individuals perch on top of each other's heads. Each individual must be both shorter and lighter than the person below him or her for functional and aesthetic purposes. Create a method to determine the greatest number of people who can fit in such a structure based on the heights and weights of each circus member.
Consider the following scenario A student has a name, which consists of a given name and a family name, and a student IID. Each student is uniquely identified by his/her student ID.A course has a subject and a course ID. For each course, we want to record the number of students taking that course and the type of equipment being used for the course. A course is uniquely identified by its course ID.A student can be enrolled in an arbitrary number of courses, and an arbitrary number of students can be enrolled in a course. For each course in which they are enrolled students receive a lab mark and an exam mark.A course cannot exist if there is no student enrolled in it.A school is distinguished by the honour's degree that it awards. We also want to record to which faculty a school belongs. A student is registered with at most one school, while a school can have an arbitrary number of students.

Alex and Josh opened Stories on CD Company, Inc., a family-owned business that sells audio CDs of classic and best-selling children's stories. The Company has a number of distributors from whom they purchase the CDs for resale. For selling purposes, the CDs are classified by appropriate age groups: 4–6; 7–10; and 11–14. Roughly 30% of total sales occur within their single retail store; the remaining 70% are through mail order. Sales are particularly strong during the summer vacation months and Christmas shopping season. When the business opened, Ted created a simple computerized database to handle customer orders and sales. A data form is filled out every time a customer places an order, and includes the following:
Medical records show a sample population of 1000 people, of those 1000 people, 98% do not have a terminal illness and 2% do have a terminal illness. A Health Insurance company would like try out a new cheaper test for terminal illness. Their results show that 98% of the people that do have a terminal illness test positive, while 1% of the people who do not have a terminal illness test positive for one. A corporation known as Ken’s Kids is concerned about patients that are slipping through the cracks with this new medical testing. If the new medical testing is adopted, what % of the people will be misdiagnosed as not having a terminal illness, but really have one? Assuming a population of 200 million people, how many people that have a terminal illness, given this new testing will never know that they do? (Please show all work , and have a legend for symbols).

A company sales manager requires a sales analysis of the two products on offer atthe end of the month. The company employs five salespeople. Input values for each salesperson are name, number, gender, and total units sold forthe month, for each product (one and two). The salary of each salesperson is strictly commission-based. Each salespersonearns a basic commission calculated as 12.5% of his/her total sales. If a salesperson sells more than R1 000 of product two, he or she receives anadditional 10% commission on product two. If not, commission for sales of producttwo is reduced to 5% (i.e. instead of receiving the basic 12.5% commission for salesof product two, a penalty is paid). If a saleswoman sells more than R500 of product one, she receives a bonus of R100. An added bonus of R750 is given to each salesperson whose total commission ismore than R6 000. Each employee receives a printed pay-slip showing all the employee details, grosspay, all the deductions and/or additions,…
Computer Science THIS MUST BE ANSWERED USING A UML STRATEGY DIAGRAM. This is a computer science based question. Please follow directions. Question: Draw the UML diagram using a strategy pattern for calculating different types of salaries. For example: - Employees that work by the hour have a different tax rate and salary is calculated based on hours reported - Employees under a contract have a set monthly salary but could still have a different withholding rate - Overhours (for contract and hourly employees) are calculated using a 1.5 multiplier for their salary scale and are paid by the hour - Employees might also receive compensation from a delivery regardless of hours worked
Using excel: A telecom company needs to build a set of cell towers to provide signal coverage for the inhabitants of a given city. A number of potential locations where the towers could be built have been identified. The towers have a fixed range, and due to budget constraints only a limited number of them can be built. Given these restrictions, the company wishes to provide coverage to the largest percentage of the population possible. To simplify the problem, the company has split the area it wishes to cover into a set of regions, each of which has a known population. The goal is then to choose which of the potential regions the company should build cell towers on in order to provide coverage to as many people as possible. The table below shows which of the regions are covered when a tower is build in that region. Note "-" means the tower build cannot serve the region. Region 0 Region 1 Region 2 Region 3 Region 4 Region 5 Region 0 1 1 - - - 1…
