The mean cost of domestic airfares in the United States rose to an all-time high of $390 per ticket. Airfares were based on the total ticket value, which consisted of the price charged by the airlines plus any additional taxes and fees. Assume domestic airfares are normally distributed with a standard deviation of $105. Use Table 1 in Appendix B. a. What is the probability that a domestic airfare is $540 or more (to 4 decimals)? b. What is the probability that a domestic airfare is $265 or less (to 4 decimals)? c. What if the probability that a domestic airfare is between $300 and $490 (to 4 decimals)? d. What is the cost for the 5% highest domestic airfares? (rounded to nearest dollar)

Several arboviruses are on the doorstep of the United States including Dengue, Zika, and Chikungunya. How does the presence or absence of aegypti and Ae. albopictus serve as an indicator for areas of potential transmission? For a state like Iowa that may have mosquitoes that can transmit these diseases, what other environmental components may influence disease transmission? How would this differ from a state like Florida?

From a Utilitarian perspective do you think it is morally right for the United States to establish truly universal healthcare?
You must use Act Utilitarianism or Rule Utilitarianism in your answer. It can be in support of your argument, in support of an objection to your argument that you consider, or both. Include a brief explanation of what utilitarianism is. How would you define act utilitarianism or how would you define rule utilitarianism?
Your response should include:
A. A brief summary of the main problem and relevant background facts and a clear statement of your position on the case. (see item number 1 in Guidelines for a Case Study Analysis in Burnor & Raley, pp. xxiii)
B. An argument in support of your position on the case, which includes a moral principle. (see items 3 & 4 in Guidelines for a Case Study Analysis in Burnor & Raley, pp. xxiii-xxiv)

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.
