a) Price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is -0.5 in the short-run. Currently, the price per pack of cigarettes is $5.50 in Louisiana. $0.86 of this price is state tax and about $1 of the price is federal tax. Each year 350 million packs of cigarettes are sold in Louisiana. If the state government increases the state tax to $1.08 per pack, what would be the new state tax receipts from cigarettes after this tax increase? b) How would your answer to (a) change if you entertain the possibility of cross-border consumption? (people moving across state borders to buy cigarettes) DO NOT ASSERT! ANALYZE LIKE AN ECONOMIST! c) What will happen to tax revenues in the long-run? Why?

Your research should also include answers to the following questions:
Analyze the purpose of Article 25 of the 1948 UDHR and the Constitution of the WHO.
In your opinion, do these two positive laws contradict the no-duty principle in the United States? Why or why not?
The term "the right to make informed health care decisions" is an important health care right of patients that have the right to make informed decisions about the direction of their care, including refusing treatment. Give your views on this statement and support your answer using relevant references.
Compare and contrast the terms "the right to make informed health care decisions" and "the right to health."
In your opinion on life or death situations, do you think individuals should be allowed to refuse treatment? Why or why not?
After answering the above questions, read the following statement:
The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) protects the rights of the poor and uninsured by stating that a hospital cannot refuse emergency treatment because of the patient's inability to pay (patient dumping). Based on this statement, answer the following questions:
Explain and analyze two key duties of hospitals under EMTALA.
What do you think would happen if a hospital administrator directed an ambulance to take a patient to another hospital because the individual is uninsured?
Explain what impact this act might have on private hospitals. How does this act impact other publicly funded programs in the state?
Use in text citations with refrences.

3. A 98.0 kg hockey player skating at 2.12 m/s 32° S of W is body checked by an 87.0 kg opponent who is skating at 1.40 m/s 42° N of E. They collide inelastically and stick together. a. What is the velocity of the pair immediately after the collision? Solve using both methods. .
Trig. Method (include a vector diagram)
Component Method (show all work)
b. Determine the impulse imparted to the 98.0 kg player. Show a complete vector diagram and label your answer.
c. From what you know about Impulse, what would the Impulse for the 87.0 kg player be? Provide both magnitude and direction. (you need not calculate if you understand the concepts)
d. State what you found out for questions b and c above and justify your results using I = Favg t. State any of the appropriate Newton’s Laws to help explain. No calculations are necessary. Simply justify what you found out from (b) and (c) by using the other equation for Impulse, I = Favg t.

Assignment Steps Resources: Microsoft Excel®, Signature Assignment Databases, Signature Assignment Options, Part 3: Inferential Statistics Scenario: Upon successful completion of the MBA program, say you work in the analytics department for a consulting company. Your assignment is to analyze one of the following databases: Manufacturing Hospital Consumer Food Financial Select one of the databases based on the information in the Signature Assignment Options. Provide a 1,600-word detailed, statistical report including the following: Explain the context of the case Provide a research foundation for the topic Present graphs Explain outliers Prepare calculations Conduct hypotheses tests Discuss inferences you have made from the results This assignment is broken down into four parts: Part 1 - Preliminary Analysis Part 2 - Examination of Descriptive Statistics Part 3 - Examination of Inferential Statistics Part 4 - Conclusion/Recommendations Part 1 - Preliminary Analysis (3-4 paragraphs) Generally, as a statistics consultant, you will be given a problem and data. At times, you may have to gather additional data. For this assignment, assume all the data is already gathered for you. State the objective: What are the questions you are trying to address? Describe the population in the study clearly and in sufficient detail: What is the sample? Discuss the types of data and variables: Are the data quantitative or qualitative? What are levels of measurement for the data? Part 2 - Descriptive Statistics (3-4 paragraphs) Examine the given data. Present the descriptive statistics (mean, median, mode, range, standard deviation, variance, CV, and five-number summary). Identify any outliers in the data. Present any graphs or charts you think are appropriate for the data. Note: Ideally, we want to assess the conditions of normality too. However, for the purpose of this exercise, assume data is drawn from normal populations. Part 3 - Inferential Statistics (2-3 paragraphs) Use the Part 3: Inferential Statistics document. Create (formulate) hypotheses Run formal hypothesis tests Make decisions. Your decisions should be stated in non-technical terms. Hint: A final conclusion saying "reject the null hypothesis" by itself without explanation is basically worthless to those who hired you. Similarly, stating the conclusion is false or rejected is not sufficient. Part 4 - Conclusion and Recommendations (1-2 paragraphs) Include the following: What are your conclusions? What do you infer from the statistical analysis? State the interpretations in non-technical terms. What information might lead to a different conclusion? Are there any variables missing? What additional information would be valuable to help draw a more certain conclusion?

Explain the importance of motion to the study of physics. First, need to describe and define the properties of a moving particle, including position, velocity, and acceleration. Describe how these properties can be measured. Then provide detailed examples of how specific motion affects the world around you. Describe what is moving and provide detail about the velocity and acceleration of the object. Where applicable, mention any force involved in the motion. Make sure to discuss at least one example of the motion of a macroscopic object, and two examples of the motion of a microscopic object (molecule, atom, particle).
There was no diagram included - just need to answer in essay format of an answer.
