Jay is a public health worker and is charged with developing an immunization tracking program for residents of his county aged birth to 21 years. Jay is primarily interested in measles vaccination rates. There has been a major increase in measles diag- noses in young children and adolescents from the years 2010 to 2015 (10 cases in the county in 2010 up to 20 cases in 2015). The current chance of county residents being diagnosed with measles before the age of 21 is 1 in 200,000. Jay is interested in understanding why this increase occurred over such a short period of time.
Explain how evidence-based practice would have a role in Jay’s work.

Of 540 Packers fans surveyed, 215 fans were satisfied with the team's draft picks since 2010. Let p represent the proportion of fans that are satisfied with the Packers draft picks.
Create a 99% confidence interval for satisfied Packer fans and give its lower bound as your answer.
Nationwide, football fans since 2010 on average have been satisfied with their team's draft performance 45% of the time. Matt LaFleur wants to know if Packers fans really are less satisfied than the league average. Using the 540 Packers fans sampled in the previous question, LaFleur tests the hypothesis H0 : p = 0.45, Ha : p < 0.45.

Fargus Corporation owned 51% of the voting common stock of Sanatee, Inc. The parent's interest was acquired several years ago on the date that the subsidiary was formed. Consequently, no goodwill or other allocation was recorded in connection with the acquisition price.
On January 1, 2010, Sanatee sold $1,400,000 in ten-year bonds to the public at 108. The bonds pay a 10% interest rate every December 31. Fargus acquired 40% of these bonds on April 1, 2012, for 95% of the face value. Both companies utilized the straight-line method of amortization.
a.) Prepare amortization tables for Fargus (4/1/2012 to 12/31/2013) and (1/1/2010 to 12/31/2013)

Cost allocation downward demand spiral Deli One operates a chain of 10 hospitals in the Los Angeles area. Its central food-catering facility, Deliman, prepares and delivers meals to the hospitals. It has the capacity to deliver up to 1,460,000 meals a year. In 2009, based on estimates from each hospital controller, Deliman budgeted for 1,022,000 meals a year. Budgeted fixed costs in 2009 were $1,533,000. Each hospital was charged $6.00 per meal—$4.50 variable costs plus $1 .50 allocated budgeted fixed cost. Recently, the hospitals have been complaining about the quality of Deliman’s meals and their rising costs. In mid-2009, Deli One’s president announces that all Deli One hospitals and support facilities will be run as profit centers. Hospitals will be free to purchase quality-certified services from outside the system. Ron Smith, Deliman’s controller, is preparing the 2010 budget. He hears that three hospitals have decided to use outside suppliers for their meals; this will reduce the 2010 estimated demand to 876,000 meals. No change in variable cost per meal or total fixed costs is expected in 2010.
1. How did Smith calculate the budgeted fixed cost per meal of$1.50 in 2009?
2. Using the same approach to calculating budgeted fixed cost per meal and pricing as in 2009, how much would hospitals be charged for each Deliman meal in 2010? What would their reaction be?
3. Suggest an alternative cost-based price per meal that Smith might propose and that might be more acceptable to the hospitals. What can Deliman and Smith do to make this price profitable in the long run?

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Length | 10 | |||
| Technology | ||||
| Length × Technology | 154 | |||
| Error | 570 | 114 | ||
| Total | 864 |
(a) Complete the F-table and make a decision to retain or reject the null hypothesis for each hypothesis test. (Assume experimentwise alpha equal to 0.05.)
