Tobacco litigation has transformed the prospects for tobacco control, first in the United States and more recently worldwide. It has forced tobacco companies to sit at the bargaining table with tobacco control advocates, has produced settlements under which the industry is committed to paying about $10bn each year to reimburse American states for healthcare expenditure caused by tobacco, and it has generally put the industry on the political defensive.

Why, after years of looking inward, did the United States suddenly begin a “quest for empire” in the late 19thcentury? Hawaii is one of the 50 states. The U. S. governed the Philippines through World War II. The Panama Canal Zone was an official U. S. territory until recently. What do you think of how the U. S. acquired these and other colonial possessions during this era?

How do I create a choropleth map of the United States where there are two maps. One that shows the states and one that shows the counties, in PYTHON, from the beginning. When I hover a state or county the border should be highlighted and the name of the state/county displayed. I would like to use Plotly and the covid-19 dataset that I have. It contains latitude and longitude coordinates for each state or county.

Joe Brown, a 30-year veteran market researcher, is ready to
enter the coffee shop business. He has some key research
questions:
• What markets in the United States hold the most promise for a new
coffee shop?
• What type of location is best for a coffee shop?
• What is it that makes a coffee shop popular?
• What coffee do Americans prefer?
• How would consumers respond to coffee delivery?
The Internet offers considerable information from studies on taste
done by individual researchers, usually themselves as the only
sample respondent. Joe doesn’t find much on consumption patterns
and the number of coffee shops around the United States. Joe
wonders about the relevance of previous research and questions
whether he is capable of doing any primary research himself. He
considers hiring someone to do a feasibility study for him. Maybe
doing research is easier than using research.
PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS.
1) Try to do a quick search to explore the question: “Are
American consumer preferences the same all across the United
States?”
6) If a consultant comes in to do the job, what are three key
deliverables that would likely be important to Joe in making a
decision to launch the Cup of Joe coffee shop?

The mean height of women in the United States (ages 20-29) is 64.2 inches with a standard deviation of 2.9 inches. A random sample of 60 women in this age group is selected. Assume that the distribution of these heights is normally distributed.
Are you more likely to randomly select 1 woman with a height more than 70 inches or are you more likely to select a random sample of 20 women with a mean height more than 70 inches? Show work necessary to answer this question: sketch both distributions and calculate each probability.
A) Sketch the distribution of women’s heights in the United States (age 20-29). Label the mean, label at least two standard deviations in each direction and shade the area in question. Calculate the probability that a randomly selected woman will have a height more than 70 inches. Show your work.
B) Sketch the sampling distribution of sample mean heights for random samples of 20 women in the United States (age 20-29). Label the mean, label at least two standard deviations in each direction and shade the area in question. Calculate the probability that a random sample of 20 women will have a mean height more than 70 inches. Show your work.
C) Which is more likely? Explain. Provide your answer as a sentence.
