The article below provides some context for Questions 1-2 What might a trade war between America and China look like? Punitive American tariffs on China would leave everybody worse off Feb 5th 2017, The Economist DONALD TRUMP vilified the Chinese government on the campaign trail, accusing it of manipulating China’s currency, stealing America’s intellectual property and “taking our jobs”. This hostility was not just posturing for the election season. In 2012 he had falsely accused the Chinese of inventing the concept of global warming—to make American manufacturing uncompetitive, he said. Tensions are high: Xi Jinping, the Chinese president, reminded global elites assembled at Davos that “no one will emerge as a winner in a trade war”. If America targets Chinese trade, China will hit back. So what might a trade war between the two economic powers play out? There are two ways in which talk might translate to action. Mr Trump might try simply to enforce the rules of global trade in the court rooms of the World Trade Organisation (WTO). Since America has no bilateral trade deal with China, WTO rules define what is and is not allowed. Mr Trump might, with some justification, accuse China of boosting its economy with subsidies and flooding some American markets with cheap imports. He will find that the Obama administration had already initiated a number of legal cases against China at the WTO. His underlings have suggested that the Trump administration might go further, for example by launching cases against suspected Chinese dumpers, rather than leaving it to American industry. Crucially, however, while the Chinese would probably retaliate, perhaps suddenly finding health-and-safety problems with American food exports, this chain of events need not descend into a trade war. The rules of the WTO are designed specifically to handle this kind of dispute. If it finds that China is indeed not playing by the rules, then there are clear limits on how America can retaliate. If the system works as it should, any recriminations would be contained. … There would be some winners from a trade war: in the short run the American government might well see more tax revenue, and some American companies would enjoy being sheltered from foreign competition. The biggest casualty may not even be the American consumer. After the Second World War, rich countries coordinated to avoid a race towards higher tariffs, creating the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, which in 1995 grew into the WTO. By clubbing together they recognized the destruction of the 1930s, when countries erected trade barriers to protect their domestic economies but ended up harming themselves as a result. A trade war would mean abandoning an institution that recognizes that countries are stronger when they work together.
NOTE: A blanket tariff is a tariff that is applied on all goods originating from the same country.
End of the article (QUESTION 1) The author of the article writes: ‘Tensions are high: Xi Jinping, the Chinese president, reminded global elites assembled at Davos that “no one will emerge as a winner in a trade war”.’ Show how a trade war can be modelled as a prisoner’s dilemma, including how it relates to the quoted statement above. Ensure you differentiate between a single-period and repeated prisoner’s dilemma.
(QUESTION 2) If the USA applies a blanket import tariff on China, who are the winners and losers in the USA? Is it efficient? Ensure you pay attention to whether the USA is a large or small country according to the definition in neoclassical trade theory.

Suppose that the average number of equipment breakdowns at a factory per week is 5. Later we’ll show that the average is our best guess at the expected value of ? = ?ℎ? ?????? ?? ????????? ?????????? ?? ? ????? ???? (assuming that this distribution stays the same across multiple weeks.) It’s also known that, through some other sample statistic, that our best guess at the standard deviation of X given the data is 0.8. a. With the help of our boy Chebyshev, find an interval such that we can be at least 90% that the number of breakdowns next week will fall within that range. b. Suppose that the supervisor promises the board of directors that the number of breakdowns will rarely exceed 8 in a one- week period. Is the supervisor safe in making this claim? Why or why not? c. Google Chebyshev and just stare at this guy’s magnificent beard for a few seconds. You don’t need to write anything down. You’re welcome.

Miscellaneous protozoa case study
A 4-year-old boy from Talavera, Nueva Ecija complains of abdominal pain with low grade fever and vomiting. A routine ova and parasite examination were performed on stool specimen, but no intestinal parasite seen. Skeptical to the results, the doctor requested for another stool specimen for O&P. Second O&P shows an intestinal parasite measures 25μm in diameter with homogenously stained (trichrome stain) central body surrounded by a thin ring of cytoplasm containing several nuclei.
Questions to answer
1. Based on the case scenario, what parasite do you suspect and why?
2. What possible cause of none detection of the parasite at first examination?
3. What other diagnostic examination can be done for the identification of this parasite? Explain.

In a sample of families with 6 children each, the distribution of boys and girls is as shown in the following table:
| Number offamilies | 10 | 60 | 147 | 202 | 148 | 62 | 10 |
| Number of girls | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| Number of boys | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
Part A) Calculate the chi-square value to test the hypothesis of a boy-to-girl ratio of 1:1. (Express your answer using three decimal places)
Part B) Are the numbers of boys to girls in these families consistent with the expected 1:1 ratio? Yes or No
Part C) Calculate the chi-square value to test the hypothesis of binominal distribution in six-child families. (Express your answer using three decimal places)
Part D) Is the distribution of the numbers of boys and girls in the families consistent with the expectations of binomial probability? Yes or No

If someone is “fat,” that’s not so good. But if someone is “phat,” that’s good. “Cool” suggests hip. But the opposite of “cool” – “hot” – might also suggest the same thing, as in “Boy is she ‘cool.’ Yes, she is so ‘hot.’” Last semester, a student in my Principles of Marketing class told me, "Professor, this class is lit!" I didn't want to tell him that I wasn't sure if he was praising the class, or criticizing it! As Public Relations professionals, we understand the importance of clear communication. One might think we should never communicate with audiences using slang, as above. And I would agree this is a good rule to follow--but is it absolute? Is there ever a time or place for using slang, colloquial phrases, cliches, or even emojis in our communication to publics? Give that some careful thought, and then explain your position in the discussion thread.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) has become commonplace and fertility clinics in the US can nearly guarantee the child's gender. Gender selection is forbidden in many countries because politicians assume it will be used to produce boy babies. India and China have areas of the country where the gender imbalance is so skewed to men that they will have trouble finding spouses. In the Fertility Institutes of LA Dr. Steinberg asserts that there is roughly a 50/50 balance. What do you think of gender selection? Would you avail yourself of IVF if necessary?
An alternative assignment would be to discuss medical tourism where people go abroad to get a dental or medical procedure done, usually because of expense. Do you know someone who went abroad for medical tourism? What was the outcome? Would you go abroad if the cost savings were significant?

Case Scenario: A teenage baseball player gets hit in the head with a fast- hard ball. Paramedics rush him to the hospital. Upon arrival to the ED, you find he is disoriented, he has sporadic respiratory changes, and his pupils are dilated but respond to light. He can tell you his name but not what has happened. During the exam, he vacillates between being somnolent and hyper aroused. The doctor tells parents of the boy that their child has a focal brain injury. He has no prior health conditions.
