A sample of students were asked to write down a "random" four-digit number. Responses from 150 students are stored in the file Digits. Those digits are stored in SSN8 and SSN9 in the same file. Does the government do a better job at assigning numbers at random? Pick either of the two columns (SSN8 or SSN9) and use technology to test whether there is evidence that the digits are not equally likely ( Some ).

1. package newton’s method for approximating square roots (case study 3.6) in a function named newton. this function expects the input number as an argument and returns the estimate of its square root. the script should also include a main function that allows the user to compute square roots of inputs until she presses the enter/return key. 2. convert newton’s method for approximating square roots in project 1 to a recursive function named newton. (hint: the estimate of the square root should be passed as a second argument to the function.) 3. elena complains that the recursive newton function in project 2 includes an extra argument for the estimate. the function’s users should not have to provide this value, which is always the same, when they call this function. modify the definition of the function so that it uses a keyword parameter with the appropriate default value for this argument, and call the function without a second argument to demonstrate that it solves this problem. 4. restructure newton’s method (case study 3.6) by decomposing it into three cooperating functions. the newton function can use either the recursive strategy of project 1 or the iterative strategy of case study 3.6. the task of testing for the limit is assigned to a function named limitreached, whereas the task of computing a new approximation is assigned to a function named improveestimate. each function expects the relevant arguments and returns an appropriate value. 5. a list is sorted in ascending order if it is empty or each item except the last one is less than or equal to its successor. define a predicate issorted that expects a list as an argument and returns true if the list is sorted, or returns false otherwise. (hint: for a list of length 2 or greater, loop through the list and compare pairs of items, from left to right, and return false if the first item in a pair is greater.)

Write a program which asks you to enter a name in the form of first middle initial last. so you might enter for example samuel p. clemens. use getline to read in the string because it contains spaces. also, apparently the shift key on your keyboard doesn’t work, because you enter it all lower case. pass the string to a function which uses .find to locate the letters which need to be upper case and use toupper to convert those characters to uppercase. the revised string should then be returned to main in the form last, first mi where it will be displayed.

You begin your first day of responsibilities by examining the recent is security breach at gearup to get ideas for safeguards you will take. at gearup, criminals accessed the company's improperly-secured wireless system and stole customers' credit card information as well as employee social security numbers. what kind of computer crime did gearup face?
