Dahl (2000) explained that the United States was and never has been a democracy due to the way the US treats its citizens. What did he mean by that thesis?

According to a geographic report, in the United States, 20% of all families renting condos will move
during a given year. A random sample of 200 families renting condos in the Seattle Mero region
illustrated the fact that 56 families moved during the past year. Does this evidence suggest that a larger
proportion of condo owners moved in the Seattle area, at the .01 significance level? State the null and
alternate hypotheses. Make the decision rule.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, in the United States, the employment rate measures the number of people who have a job as a percentage of the working age population. In January 2020 the rate was 61.2%.
A) Recognizing that this is a binomial situation, give the meaning S and F in this context. That is, define what you will classify as a "success" S and what you will classify as a "failure" F as it refers to being employed.
B) Next, give the values of n, p, and q.
C) Construct the complete binomial probability distribution for this situation in a table.
D) Using your table, find the probability that exactly six working aged persons are employed.
E) Find the probability that at least 5 working aged persons are employed.
F) Find the probability that fewer than 6 working aged persons are employed.
G) Find the mean and standard deviation of this binomial probability distribution.
H) By writing a sentence, interpret the meaning of the mean value found in (G) as tied to the context of the percentage of working aged persons in the US.
I) Is it unusual to have 8 working aged persons in a group of 10 who are employed? Briefly explain your answer.

In your introduction, briefly describe your issue or topic. Also, provide epidemiological information on the following: morbidity and mortality among the specific group, community, or country. Next section will be your methods, in which you describe keywords and how you conducted your literature review. Then, in your discussion section, discuss at least three interventions published in the scholarly literature to address the crisis in a country of your choice. Evaluate the progress and outcomes of such prevention programs. Describe the intervention (e.g. target audience, experimental/control group, intervention methods and materials, intervention outcomes) Assess the methods used in the intervention (e.g. level of the intervention, strengths and weaknesses of the intervention, potential impact/generalizability of the intervention). Conclusion offers a good wrap-up of everything discussed wherein!
E.g. Access to water in Kenya. Approximately 11% of the world’s population does not have access to safe or affordable drinking water; unfortunately, 46% of the population continues to have inadequate access to quality water in Kenya. Some interventions addressing this issue include: water kiosks, household water pumps, rock catchments, and boreholes. One program was implemented in Nairobi, Kenya …. It was successful because… Another program was implemented in Kitui, Kenya… It was unsuccessful because…

A sample of n = 1,033 adults in the United States was asked, "Do you think the police should or should not be allowed to collect DNA information from suspected criminals, similar to how they take fingerprints?" Of those sampled, 68% answered "should". (Round your answers to the nearest tenth.)
(a) Calculate the conservative margin of error for the survey, as a percentage.
(b) Compute an approximate 95% confidence interval for the percentage of all American adults who think police should be allowed to collect DNA information from suspected criminals.

The latest political survey in the United States indicates that,
of randomly chosen citizens, the probability that they are liberal
is 0.22, the probability that they are conservative is 0.55, and
the probability that they are neither one nor another is 0.24.
Assuming these probabilities are accurate, answer the following
questions regarding the group of 10 randomly chosen Americans. (16
point)
What is the probability that four are liberal?
What is the probability that neither is conservative?
What is the probability that two are neither?
What is the probability that at least eight are liberals?

Assume that the United States invests heavily in government and corporate securities of Country K. In addition, residents of Country K invest heavily in the United States. Approxi-mately $10 billion worth of investment transactions occur between these two countries each year. The total dollar value of trade transactions per year is about $8 million. This information is expected to also hold in the future.
Because your firm exports goods to Country K, your job as international cash manager requires you to forecast the value of Country K's currency (the “krank”) with respect to the dollar. Explain how each of the following conditions will affect the value of the krank, holding other things equal. Then, aggregate all of these impacts to develop an overall forecast of the krank's movement against the dollar.
a. U.S. inflation has suddenly increased substantially, while Country K's inflation remains low.
b. Country K's interest rates have increased substantially, while U.S. interest rates remain low. Investors of both countries are attracted to high interest rates.
c. The U.S. income level decreased substantially, while Country K's income level has remained unchanged.
d. Country K is expected to impose a small tariff on goods imported from The U.S..
e. Combine all expected impacts to develop an overall forecast.
