As COVID19 continues to spread in the United States and elsewhere, new restrictions on ordinary activities are important for preserving public health. However, enforcing rules on social distance makes many businesses untenable and many professions unworkable, reducing economic activity. Find a publicly available, online article from a major American news outlet describing a public policy made or being made in the United States to address the economic consequences of COVID19 infections and related restrictions on work and social activities. Describe the policy being adopted, and explain how it is intended to promote economic growth using the concepts from the posted political economy lectures. Include a link to the article you've found in your post."

Every 4 years, we come together as a nation to vote on who will represent us as a nation, who will lead the country in domestic and foreign affairs, who will hold the title of President of the United States of America. Research and read/view the election platform statements, winning nomination speech, and inaugural address of the current President of the United States. In this discussion board, compare these primary sources to the current domestic and foreign policy planning and decisions of the President. Are their correlations between plan and action to stated goals and promises? What challenges will the President face in accomplishing these goals and promises? What other situations arose throughout the election and beginning his term in office that led to possible changes to the original goals and promises.

Please walk me through SPSS setup for this and complete the following, NOT just answer it, but show me how you did it on SPSS
Consider the data below of inches of rainfall per month for three different regions in the Northwestern United States: Please use SPSS and complete the following:
Plains Mountains. Forest
April 25.2. 13.0 9.7
May 17.1 18.1 16.5
June 18.9. 15.7. 18.1
July 17.3 11.3 13.0
August 16.5 14.0 15.4
Using SPSS, perform an ANOVA test for the hypothesis that there is not the same amount of rainfall in every region in the Northwestern United States with a significance level of 0.02. What are the two degrees of freedom of your test statistic?

Assume that the population of Mexico is 128 million and that the population increases 1.01 percent annually. Assume that the population of the United States is 323 million and that the population is reduced 0.15 percent annually.
Write an application that displays the populations for the two countries every year until the population of Mexico exceeds that of the United States, and display The population of Mexico will exceed the U.S. population in X years
public class Population
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
double mexicoPop = 128;
double usPop = 323;
int year = 0;
// your code here
System.out.println("The population of Mexico will exceed
the U.S. population in " + year + " years");
System.out.println("The population of Mexico will be " + mexicoPop
+ " million");
System.out.println("and the population of the U.S. will be " +

GED corporation, located in the United States, has an account payable obligation of ¥800 million payable in one year to a bank in Tokyo. The current spot rate is ¥115/$1.00 and the one-year forward rate is ¥110/$1.00. The annual interest rate is 3 percent in Japan and 6 percent in the United States. GED can also buy a one-year call option on yen at the strike price of $0.0080 per yen for a premium of 0.010 cents per yen. At what one-year forward rate would GED be indifferent between money market hedging and forward market hedging?
a) ¥116/$1.00
b) ¥109/$1.00
c) ¥111.75/$1.00
d) ¥112.72/$1.00

A systematic random sample was taken from the set of all Presidents of the United States. The data file potus heights.csv random sample includes the height (in inches) of each sampled President. (a) From this data, estimate the average height of United States Presidents. Calculate two error bounds for your estimate, one using the usual SRS formula, and one using the successive difference variance estimator. (b) Which variance estimator is more appropriate for these data? Briefly explain
| president | hgt |
| Van Buren | 56 |
| McKinley | 57 |
| Harrison | 68 |
| Carter | 69 |
| Roosevelt | 70 |
| Cleveland | 71 |
| Buchanan | 72 |
| Kennedy | 72 |
| AJackson | 73 |
| GHWBush | 74 |
| Lincoln | 76 |

Assume that the population of Mexico is 128 million and that the population increases 1.01 percent annually. Assume that the population of the United States is 323 million and that the population is reduced 0.15 percent annually. Write an application that displays the populations for the two countries every year until the population of Mexico exceeds that of the United States, and display The population of Mexico will exceed the U.S. population in X years
The answer should look like this for Mexico:
322 321 320 319 318 312 311 310 300 299 298 297 296 295 288 287 286
This the answer for USA:
129 133 137 140 144 147 150 153 156 158 161 166 248 256 269 280

Do you want to own your own candy store? Wow! With some interest in running your own business and a decent credit rating, you can probably get a bank loan on startup costs for franchises such as Candy Express, The Fudge Company, Karmel Corn, and Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Startup costs (in thousands of dollars) for a random sample of candy stores are given below. Assume that the population of x values has an approximately normal distribution.
| 95 | 172 | 130 | 98 | 75 | 94 | 116 | 100 | 85 |
(a) Use a calculator with mean and sample standard deviation keys to find the sample mean startup cost x and sample standard deviation s. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)
| x = | thousand dollars |
| s = | thousand dollars |
(b) Find a 90% confidence interval for the population average
startup costs μ for candy store franchises. (Round your
answers to one decimal place.)
| lower limit | thousand dollars |
| upper limit | thousand dollars |
