we know that correlations never explain, it is our theories that provide explanation. re-examine table 5.4 and draft theories to explain why WIC has a larger contribution than organized family planning. why do the contributions differ between blacks and whites on WIC, abortion, and prenatal care?

Expert Solution

The WIC is a special supplement nutritional program for women, infants & children for healthcare & nutrition of low income population. It is a means tested program specifically directed to poor. Though organized family planning plays a major role in addressing issues of expecting mothers. But WIC addresses the monetary issue of providing nutrition which is essential for pregnant women & children as low income population lacks resources for this.

As in figure 5.4 we can see that contribution of organized family planning in reducing Neonatal mortality rate is 0.084 for whites & 0.526 for blacks. Whereas contribution of WIC in reducing Neonatal mortality rate for whites is 0.425 & for blacks it is significantly higher to 1.330. Thus from this information we come to know that WIC is more effective in reducing Neonatal mortality rate for both blacks & whites.

Contributions differ between blacks and whites on WIC, abortion, and prenatal care due to difference in benefits from healthcare on the margin.

In our rental shop case, we know that on the busiest day we can expect 150 rentals, which forms the number of independent events or trials. We also know that, historically, 60% of our customers rent skis and 40% rent snowboards, which provides our probability. If we decide that we only need to have 65 snowboards in stock, what is the probability that we will run out of snowboard rentals on any specific day?
