Steve is the primary suspect in a case involving the sale and distribution of methamphetamine. He is a 21-year-old Caucasian male who has never been in a committed relationship. He has no children and is the youngest of three brothers, all of whom live at home with their mother, who works two full-time jobs to support the family. He was born and raised in a rural community with close access to a larger city. His father and both uncles are incarcerated for sale and distribution of cocaine. He looks up to his father and has regular contact with him. His older brother is transient, often absent from the home for weeks at a time. His younger brother is in high school—they are close. He goes to Catholic Mass about once a month and is close with the parish priest, who has been a mentor for the past 10 years.

Steve does not use drugs, preferring to sell them. He is a heavy consumer of alcohol, which caused early-stage liver dysfunction. He maintains a social media account, open for public view, where he posts about being frequently angry. He has both a juvenile and adult arrest record for minor crimes such as shoplifting and possession of a controlled substance for personal use. He is suspected of sales with intent to distribute because he was photographed at a known drop house on 12 occasions, staying for several hours each time. His fingerprints were found on meth lab equipment after a search warrant was served at that house.

After reading the Module One Discussion Scenario, address the following: What influences a person’s motivation to commit a crime? Think about developmental, biological, and situational factors that contribute to the person’s behavior.

Variable Names: Year = year of manufacture, Cruise = best cruise speed (knots indicated air speed) at 65%-75% power, TotalHP = total horsepower (both engines if twin), NumBlades = number of propeller blades, Turbo = 1 if turbocharged, 0 otherwise

Using Cruise as the response variable and the other variables as predictor variables, use Minitab to perform the necessary regression calculations. Write a concise report answering the following questions. Insert tables and graphs in your report as appropriate.

1.      Use Minitab to perform multiple regression.   Use Cruise as the dependent variable, and the other variables, (Year, TotalHp, NumBlades, and Turbo) as predictor variables.

2.      Is multicollinearity a problem? Support your answer.

3.      Is the model significant? Support your answer. What does this tell you?

4.      Find the sample regression equation and interpret the coefficients in terms of the problem.

5.      Find and interpret the coefficient of determination.

6.      Test each regression coefficient for significance and interpret the results.

7. Which variable is the indicator (dummy) variable? Give and compare the sample regression equations for both levels of the dummy variable.

8.      Give a 95% confidence interval for average cruise speed for all airplanes manufactured in 1990, with 600 horsepower, 3 blades, and turbocharged. Interpret your interval. Give and interpret a 95% prediction interval using the same values.

9.      Examine the residual plots and discuss.

As the community health LPN, you have received a referral for a 39-year old Indonesian lady for staple removal, post-op emergency cholecystectomy. Upon arrival to the home, you observe broken glass around the entrance of the basement apartment and note it is in desperate need of repairs. One of the windows has been boarded up and the step has a board missing and the wood looks rotten. The client answers the door, carrying a 2-year child on her hip and 2 older siblings, ages 5 and 7 are standing behind her. The children are all noted to be dressed in several layers of clothing. Upon entering the home, you note the home feels quite cold and damp. The only furniture you can see is a small table, two chairs and a mattress on the floor of the only bedroom. There is no visible toys, books, or TV. In communicating with the client, you detect a thick accent and she speaks in broken English. She informs you that she is doing ok; however, the family is struggling financially since they arrived in NL from Indonesia 1 year ago. Her husband is working at the local gas bar part time. The client states "I try get groceries cheap but that hard". " I like NL but miss my home country. (I talk to my family every month". I get job but need more education. My son he needs medicine but we no money. My husband has bad cough, he always tired and no taste no more." I attend my church online and meet 2 ladies from my home country. One lady wants to teach me how make masks. She tells me I think take English course by our church.

Rosa was a 78-year-old woman who lived alone in a large city. She had been widowed for 10 years. Her children were grown, and all were successful. She was very proud of them because she and her husband had immigrated to the United States when the children were small and had worked very hard to establish and maintain a home. She had only a few years of primary education and still clung to many of her “old country” ways. She spoke a mixture of English and her native language, and her children were somewhat embarrassed by her. They thought she was somewhat of a hypochondriac because she constantly complained to them about various aches and pains, her knees that “gave out,” her “sugar” and “water” problems, and her heart palpitations. She had been diagnosed with mild diabetes and heart failure. She was a devout Catholic and attended mass each morning. Her treks to church events, to the senior center at church, and to her various physicians (internist; orthopedic, cardiac, and ophthalmic specialists) constituted her social life. One day the recreation director at the senior center noticed her pulling a paper bag of medication bottles from her purse. She sat down to talk with Rosa about them and soon realized that Rosa had only a vague idea of what most of them were for and tended to take them whenever she felt she needed them.

Problem 20-3(LO 4) Determining and minimizing estate tax. Spencer Cook died on July 18 of the...

Problem 20-3(LO 4) Determining and minimizing estate tax. Spencer Cook died on July 18 of the current year, leaving a gross estate of $8,600,000. Claims to be settled against that estate included funeral, administrative, and medical expenses of $180,000 and other debts of$210,000. Spencer’s wife Sara has a considerable estate of her own, and she and Spencer have each agreed to leave $500,000 of their personal estate to charity. One year after Spencer’s death,Sara passed away. Allowable expenses against Sara’s estate totaled $420,000 excluding charitable bequests.

Using the estate tax rates and unified credit in the text:

1. Determine the estate tax to be paid by both Spencer and Sara assuming that no credit shelter trusts are employed and that Sara’s gross estate is $13,300,000 including the assets inherited from Spencer.

2. Assume that prior to death Spencer and Sara both created a credit shelter trust calling for the surviving spouse to be the income beneficiary and their children to be the recipient of the principal. The principal of the trust is equal to the applicable exclusion amount. Deter-mine the estate tax to be paid by both Spencer and Sara assuming that Sara’s gross estate at the date of her death was $11,400,000 including the assets inherited from Spencer.
