Which of the following does NOT describe cultural relativism?

Write a function called f that takes a string fname argument with a fully-qualified file name and returns the contents of the file. Do not interpret/process/transform the contents–just return it as a string.

All of the following statements are criticisms of economic determinism EXCEPT ________.

How many text messages do twelfth grade students send on average on a typical day? You think it is around 20 texts a day, but your friend thinks it is more than that.  You decide to see if there is significant evidence that twelfth grade students send on average more than 20 texts a day.  A random sample of 21 twelfth grade students is taken.  The sample mean is 23.26 with a sample standard deviation of 12.68.  A boxplot of the data does not have strong skewness or outliers.  The hypotheses is as follows: H0: μ = 20 Ha: μ > 20   a. The test statistic is 1.18, what is the p-value? [1]   b. For this significance test, you fail to reject H0 and find no significant evidence that the true mean number of texts sent on a typical day by twelfth graders is greater than 20.  What type of error could you have made? [2]   c. If instead you performed a significance test to see if the true mean number of texts sent a day was different than 20, what level of significance would the 90% confidence interval on the same set of data agree with? [3]  

What is the output of the following program? x = 5def f(x):   y = x + 1    return yf(10)print(y)

Briefly state in English what the following function f computes (returns) if we assume argument A is a sorted list of integers and x is an integer.  My answer has 6 words.  Here’s an example to help you think about the problem: A = [-3, 2, 10, 43, 70, 89, 105]x = 89 def f(A,x):   left = 0    right = len(A)-1    while left A[mid]:            left = mid+1    return -1

Write a function called mid that processes its argument text string s containing three columns separated by commas (and no spaces). It should return the middle column of numbers as a list of integers. Here is a sample input string that contains three lines, and all lines except the last line are terminated with a \n newline character. Assume there is always at least one line. s = “””23,9,1000,28,4253,29,7813″”” # last line doesn’t have \n
