Nearsightedness Study Myopia, or nearsightedness, results from a number of genetic and environmental factors. In 1999, Quinn et al studied the relation between myopia and ambient lighting at night (for example, from nightlights or room lights) during childhood. Question 1: The data were gathered by the following procedure, reported in the study. "Between January and June 1998, parents of children aged 2-16 years [...] that were seen as outpatients in a university pediatric ophthalmology clinic completed a questionnaire on the child's light exposure both at present and before the age of 2 years." Was this study observational, or was it a controlled experiment? Explain. Write your answer in myopia_ql below. In [ ]: myopia_ql = Question 2: The study found that of the children who slept with a room light on before the age of 2, 55% were myopic. Of the children who slept with a night light on before the age of 2, 34% were myopic. Of the children who slept in the dark before the age of 2, 10% were myopic. The study concluded that, "The prevalence of myopia [...] during childhood was strongly associated with ambient light exposure during sleep at night in the first two years after birth." Do the data support this statement? You may interpret "strongly" in any reasonable qualitative way. Write your answer in myopia_g2 below. In (: myopia_q2 = Question 3: On May 13, 1999, CNN reported the results of this study under the headline, "Night light may lead to nearsightedness." Does the conclusion of the study claim that night light causes nearsightedness? Write your answer in myopia_93 below. In (): myopia_q3 = Question 4: The final paragraph of the CNN report said that "several eye specialists" had pointed out that the study should have accounted for heredity. Myopia is passed down from parents to children. Myopic parents are more likely to have myopic children, and may also be more likely to leave lights on habitually (since the parents have poor vision). In what way does the knowledge of this possible genetic link affect how we interpret the data from the study? Write your answer in myopia_q4 below. In [ ]: myopia_94 =

Assume the existence of a bankaccount class. define a derived class, savingsaccount that contains two instance variables: the first a double, named interestrate, and the second an integer named interesttype. the value of the interesttype variable can be 1 for simple interest and 2 for compound interest. there is also a constructor that accepts two parameters: a double that is used to initialize the interestrate variable, and a string that you may assume will contain either "simple", or "compound", and which should be used to initialize the interesttype variable appropriately. there should also be a pair of functions getinterestrate and getinteresttype that return the values of the corresponding data members (as double and int respectively).
