2-Name three factors that contribute to health disparities (inequalities) in the U.S. For each factor you list, write down one theoretical approach that might be useful in developing an intervention to address that factor, and briefly state why it might be useful.

Take a virtual tour of the Islamic art collection from either the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City or the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto. Select three pieces from these collections and write down your thoughts about these pieces. Why did you chose them? What do they add or contribute to your understanding of Islam? How to the pieces you chose compare with each other?

Two men, A and B, who usually commute to work together decide to conduct an experiment to see whether one route is faster than the other. The men feel that their driving habits are approximately the same, so each morning for two weeks one driver is assigned to route I and the other to route II. The times, recorded to the nearest minute, are shown in the following table. Using this data, find the 90% confidence interval for the true mean difference between the average travel time for route I and the average travel time for route II.

Let d=(route I travel time)−(route II travel time). Assume that the populations of travel times are normally distributed for both routes.

Step 1 of 4 : Find the mean of the paired differences, d‾. Round your answer to one decimal place.

Step 2 of 4 : Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.​

Step 3 of 4: Find the standard deviation of the paired differences to be used in constructing the confidence interval.

Step 4 of 4: Construct the 90% confidence interval.

Please create a Risk Mitigation Plan for this scenario.

Scenario: You are an information technology (IT) intern working for Health Network, Inc. (Health Network), a fictitious health services organization headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Health Network has over 600 employees throughout the organization and generates $500 million USD in annual revenue. The company has two additional locations in Portland, Oregon and Arlington, Virginia, which support a mix of corporate operations. Each corporate facility is located near a colocation data center, where production systems are located and managed by third-party data center hosting vendors.

Company Products Health Network has three main products: HNetExchange, HNetPay, and HNetConnect.

HNetExchange is the primary source of revenue for the company. The service handles secure electronic medical messages that originate from its customers, such as large hospitals, which are then routed to receiving customers such as clinics.

HNetPay is a Web portal used by many of the company’s HNetExchange customers to support the management of secure payments and billing. The HNetPay Web portal, hosted at Health Network production sites, accepts various forms of payments and interacts with credit-card processing organizations much like a Web commerce shopping cart.

HNetConnect is an online directory that lists doctors, clinics, and other medical facilities to allow Health Network customers to find the right type of care at the right locations. It contains doctors’ personal information, work addresses, medical certifications, and types of services that the doctors and clinics offer. Doctors are given credentials and are able to update the information in their profile. Health Network customers, which are the hospitals and clinics, connect to all three of the company’s products using HTTPS connections. Doctors and potential patients are able to make payments and update their profiles using Internet-accessible HTTPS Web sites.

Information Technology Infrastructure Overview

Health Network operates in three production data centers that provide high availability across the company’s products. The data centers host about 1,000 production servers, and Health Network maintains 650 corporate laptops and company-issued mobile devices for its employees. Threats Identified Upon review of the current risk management plan, the following threats were identified:

? Loss of company data due to hardware being removed from production systems ? Loss of company information on lost or stolen company-owned assets, such as mobile devices and laptops

? Loss of customers due to production outages caused by various events, such as natural disasters, change management, unstable software, and so on

? Internet threats due to company products being accessible on the Internet

? Insider threats

? Changes in regulatory landscape that may impact operations Management Request

Senior management at Health Network has determined that the existing risk management plan for the organization is out of date and a new risk management plan must be developed. Because of the importance of risk management to the organization, senior management is committed to and supportive of the project to develop a new plan. You have been assigned to develop this new plan.

Additional threats other than those described previously may be discovered when re-evaluating the current threat landscape during the risk assessment phase.

The budget for this project has not been defined due to senior management’s desire to react to any and all material risks that are identified within the new plan. Given the company’s annual revenue, reasonable expectations can be determined.

Please create a Risk Mitigation Plan

Senior management at Health Network allocated funds to support a risk mitigation plan, and have requested that the risk manager and team create a plan in response to the deliverables produced within the earlier phases of the project. The risk mitigation plan should address the identified threats described in the scenario for this project, as well as any new threats that may have been discovered during the risk assessment. You have been assigned to develop this new plan.

There are two ice cream shops, A and B, in a touristic town. Each shop needs to individually choose the price it charges for a scoop of ice cream, which can be either $2, $4 or $5. Each firm wants to maximize their total revenue from customers via an appropriate choice of price. It is expected that

− 8,000 scoops of ice cream are purchased by tourists, who are split evenly between the two shops regardless of the prices charged by these shops.

− Locals also purchase scoops of ice cream: Assume that locals purchase 800 scoops in total.

− Being more knowledgeable of market conditions, locals purchase their ice cream from the shop with the lowest price. If both shops charge the same price, then the locals are split evenly between the two shops.

(a) Now, write the normal form game between the two ice cream shops where payoffs in each cell of the table represents the total revenue of each shop. Make sure to write your calculated payoff pairs for each cell of the normal form game.

(b) Explain the underlying logic behind your calculated payoffs in the normal form game of part (a) by showing your full workings of payoffs for a sample case where both shops charge the same price. Do the same also for a sample case where firms charge different prices.

(c) Reproduce the normal form game from part (a) and use it to determine the outcome of this game by applying iterated elimination of strictly dominated strategies. Explain your workings.

a.Plot the data using Minitab. What kind of pattern do you observe?

b.Develop a trend line equation for this data (Use Minitab).

c.Decompose the above time series using a multiplicative model. Store the trend line, detrended data, seasonals, seasonally adjusted data. Then, calculate CI (Hint: CI = Deseasonalized data / Trend), C as a centered 3-moving average of CI values, and finally I (=CI/C).

d.Next, compute forecasts for the next 6 months using the trend line equation and the seasonal indices you have computed. (Hint: What should you assume for C and I components?)

It is generally accepted that the mean heart rate (beats per minute; bpm) of an adult human is between 65 bpm and 75 bpm, with a single average value of 72 bpm. In this case study you will test the hypothesis that the average heart rate of adults is 72 bpm (μ = 72 bpm) for all adults and then separately by gender. The distribution of heart rates is approximately normal.

1.Complete the hypothesis test for all adults(Males and Females) by performing the following steps. Use a 5% level of significance.You may assume that σ = 7.035bpm.

A.Determine if you should use a Z-Test or t-Test in conduct this hypothesis test.Explain your decision.

B.State the null and alternative hypothesis.Identify the claim.

C.Calculate the Standardized Test Statistic.

D.Calculate the p-value (or the Critical Value(s)).

E.State your decision. Explain how you made this decision.

F.State your conclusion in the context of the problem.

2.If you lowered the level of significance to 1%(in # 1), would your decision change? Explain your reasoning

For e-textbooks, B&N uses the agency model. How much revenue would it record for each sale? The full price of the textbook, or the commission earned on the sale? (Review the Revenue Recognition footnote below.)

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from sales of the Company’s products is recognized at the time of sale or shipment, other than those with multiple elements and Free On Board (FOB) destination point shipping terms. The Company accrues for estimated sales returns in the period in which the related revenue is recognized based on historical experience. ECommerce revenue from sales of products ordered through the Company’s websites is recognized upon estimated delivery and receipt of the shipment by its customers. Freight costs are included within the Company’s cost of sales and occupancy. Sales taxes collected from retail customers are excluded from reported revenues. All of the Company’s sales are recognized as revenue on a “net” basis, including sales in connection with any periodic promotions offered to customers. The Company does not treat any promotional offers as expenses In accordance with ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition, Multiple-Element Arrangements, and Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) 2009-13 and 2009-14, for multiple-element arrangements that involve tangible products that contain software that is essential to the tangible product’s functionality, undelivered software elements that relate to the tangible product’s essential software and other separable elements, the Company allocates revenue to all deliverables using the relative selling-price method. Under this method, revenue is allocated at the time of sale to all deliverables based on their relative selling price using a specific hierarchy. The hierarchy is as follows: vendor specific objective evidence, third-party evidence of selling price, or best estimate of selling price. NOOK® device revenue is recognized at the segment point of sale. The Company includes post-service customer support (PCS) in the form of software updates and potential increased functionality on a when-and-if-available basis with the purchase of a NOOK® from the Company. Using the relative selling-price method described above, the Company allocates revenue based on the best estimate of selling price for the deliverables as no vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence exists for any of the elements. Revenue allocated to NOOK® and the software essential to its functionality is recognized at the time of sale, provided all other conditions for revenue recognition are met. Revenue allocated to the PCS is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the 2-year estimated life of a NOOK® device. The average percentage of a NOOK®’s sales price that is deferred for undelivered items and recognized over its 2-year estimated life ranges between 0% and 5%, depending on the type of device sold. The amount of NOOK®-related deferred revenue as of April 29, 2017 and April 30, 2016 was $226 and $160, respectively. These amounts are classified on the Company’s balance sheet in accrued liabilities for the portion that is subject to deferral for one year or less and other long-term liabilities for the portion that is subject to deferral for more than one year. The Company also pays certain vendors who distributed NOOK® a commission on the content sales sold through that device. The Company accounted for these transactions as a reduction in the sales price of the NOOK® based on historical trends of content sales and a liability was established for the estimated commission expected to be paid over the life of the product. The Company recognizes revenue of the content at the point of sale of the content. The Company records revenue from sales of digital content, sales of third-party extended warranties, service contracts and other products, for which the Company is not obligated to perform, and for which the Company does not meet the criteria for gross revenue recognition under ASC 605-45-45, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, on a net basis. All other revenue is recognized on a gross basis. The Company rents physical textbooks. Revenue from the rental of physical textbooks is deferred and recognized over the rental period commencing at point of sale. The Company offers a buyout option to allow the purchase of a rented book at the end of the semester. The Company records the buyout purchase when the customer exercises and pays the buyout option price. In these instances, the Company would accelerate any remaining deferred rental revenue at the point of sale. NOOK acquires the rights to distribute digital content from publishers and distributes the content on www.barnesandnoble.com, NOOK® devices and other eBookstore platforms. Certain digital content is distributed under an agency pricing model, in which the publishers set prices for eBooks and NOOK receives a commission on content sold through the eBookstore. The majority of the Company’s eBooks are sold under the agency model. The Barnes & Noble Member Program offers members greater discounts and other benefits for products and services, as well as exclusive offers and promotions via e-mail or direct mail, for an annual fee of $25.00, which is nonrefundable after the first 30 days. Revenue is recognized over the 12-month period based upon historical spending patterns for Barnes & Noble Members.

High skilled immigrants use the H-1B visa to work in the United States. Prior to 2004, they allowed over 120000 visas to be issued each year. After 2004, they reduced the quota to 65000 immigrants per year. Discuss the implications that this change would have based on your knowledge of economic theory on a. native workers in the USA b. firm owners in the USA c. remaining workers in the destination countries d. firm owners on destination countries You may use graphical analysis if it helps illustrate your points.
