Rideshare companies like Uber or Lyft track the x, y coordinates of drivers and customers on a map. If a customer requests a ride, the company's app estimates the minutes until the nearest driver can arrive. Write a method that, given the x and y coordinates of a customer and the three nearest drivers, returns the estimated pickup time. Assume drivers can only drive in the x or y directions (not diagonal), and each mile takes 2 minutes to drive. All values are integers. Hints: Break the problem into three parts. In the first part, compute the three distances. In the second part, determine the minimum distance. In the third part, compute and return the time. Don't forget to use absolute value when computing the x distance, and again for the y distance, because direction doesn't matter. You may wish to just write a small absolute value method.

Which of the following methods could be considered a “best practice” in terms of informing respondents how their answers to an on-line survey about personal information will be protected? respondents are informed that investigators will try to keep their participation confidential; however, confidentiality cannot be assured. respondents are informed that a research assistant will transfer all the research data to a password-protected computer that is not connected to the internet, via a usb flashdrive. the computer is located in a research team member’s office. the investigator uses the informed consent process to explain her institution’s method for guaranteeing absolute confidentiality of research data. the investigator uses the informed consent process to explain how respondent data will be transmitted from the website to his encrypted database without ever recording respondents’ ip addresses, but explains that on the internet confidentiality cannot be absolutely guaranteed.
