Chapter 10, Problem 4P
The Social Security Administration maintains an actuarial life table that contains the probability that a person in the United States will die (http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/STATS/table4c6.html). The death probabilities from this table for 2009 are stored in the file LifeDeathProbability.txt that is included with the book’s source code. There are three values for each row the age, death probability for a male, and death probability for a female. For example, the first five lines are:
0 0.006990 0.005728
1 0.000447 0.000373
2 0.000301 0.000241
3 0.000233 0.000186
4 0.000177 0.000150
This says that a 3-year-old female has a 0 000186 chance of dying that year

# Create Custom Transformer
Create a custom transformer, just as we did in the lecture video entitled "Custom Transformers", that performs two computations:
1. Adds an attribute to the end of the numerical data (i.e. new last column) that is equal to $\frac{x_1^3}{x_5}$ for each observation. In other words, for each instance, you will cube the $x_1$ column and then divide by the $x_5$ column.
2. Drops the entire $x_4$ feature column if the passed function argument `drop_x4` is `True` and doesn't drop the column if `drop_x4` is `False`. (See further instructions below.)
You must name your custom transformer class `Assignment4Transformer`. Your class should include an input parameter called `drop_x4` with a default value of `True` that deletes the $x_4$ feature column when its value is `True`, but preserves the $x_4$ feature column when you pass a value of `False`.
This transformer will be used in a pipeline. In that pipeline, an imputer will be run *before* this transformer. Keep…

Run a regression predicting whether or not wine was ordered from temperature, bill, and pizza.
Assign the coefficients of the summary of the model to Q1. The output should look something like this:

astfoodStats Assignment Description
For this assignment, name your R file fastfoodStats.R
For all questions you should load tidyverse, openintro, and lm.beta. You should not need to use any other libraries.

The actual data set is called fastfood.
Continue to use %>% for the pipe. CodeGrade does not support the new pipe.
Round all float/dbl values to two decimal places.
All statistics should be run with variables in the order I state
E.g., "Run a regression predicting mileage from mpg, make, and type" would be:
lm(mileage ~ mpg + make + type...)
To access the fastfood data, run the following:
fastfood <- openintro::fastfood

Each record has the following fields: NAME (30 bytes), SSN (9 bytes), ADRESS(40 bytes), PHONE(9 bytes), BIRTHDATE (8 bytes), SEX(1 byte), CLASSCODE( 4 bytes, integer) MAJORDEPTCODE(4 bytes), MINORDEPTCODE(4 bytes), and DEGREEPROGRAM( 3 bytes). An additional byte is used as a deletion marker. Block size B = 512 bytes. a) Calculate the blocking factor bfr (=floor(B/R), where R is the record size) and number of file blocks b, assuming unspanned organization (a record can’t be split across blocks). b) Suppose only 80% of the STUDENT records have a value for PHONE, 85% for MAJORDEPTCODE, 15% for MINORDEPTCODE, and 90% for DEGREEPROGRAM.

- Chirality def is_left_handed(pips): Even though this has no effect on fairness, pips from one to six are not painted on dice just any which way, but so that pips on the opposite faces always add up to seven. (This convention makes it easier to tell when someone tries to use crooked dice with certain undesirable pip values replaced with values that are more desirable for the cheater.) In each of the 23 = 8 corners of the cube, exactly one value from each pair of forbidden opposites 1-6, 2-5 and 3-4 meets two values chosen from the other two pairs of opposites. You can twist and turn any corner of the die to face you, and yet two opposite sides never spread into simultaneous view. This discipline still allows for two distinct ways to paint the pips. If the numbers in the corner shared by the faces 1, 2, and 3 read out clockwise as 1-2-3, that die is left-handed, whereas if they read out as 1-3-2, that die is right-handed. Analogous to a pair of shoes made separately for the left and…arrow_forwardCreate a datafile that contains the first name, last name, gender, age, height, smoking preference, eye color and phone number. Add a variety of records to the file. A sample file looks like:  Write a program that opens the file and reads the records one by one. The program will skip any records where the gender preference is not a match. Of those records that match the gender preference, check to see if the age and height are between the maximum and minum preferences. Then check to see if the smoking preference and eye color are also a match. If at least 3 of the remaining fields match, consider the record a partial match, and print it in the report. If all 4 of the remaining fields match, the record is a perfect match and print it in the report with an asterisk next to it. At the end of the program, close the file and report how many total records there were of the specified gender, how many were a partial match, and how many were a perfect match.arrow_forwardA file has r=20000 STUDENT records of fixed-length.
