1) In preliminary tests of a vaccine that may help smokers quit by reducing the “rush” from tobacco, 180 subjects who wanted to quit smoking were either given a placebo or the vaccine. Of the 90 in the placebo group, only 10 quit smoking compared with 25 of the vaccine group. (15 points)

a) At the .10 level of significance, determine if the vaccine is effective in reducing smoking. Follow and show the 7 steps for hypothesis testing. (8 points)

b) Is the criterion for normality met? (4 points)

c) Verify with Minitab, by attaching or including the output. (3 points)

Question 1 (Word Limit = 300 words)

David wants to buy a new business suit from a boutique designer in the city. A salesman helps him find the perfect suit but the jacket is a little loose around his waist. The salesman takes some measurements and explains that the suit can be altered and ready for collection by the end of the week. David pays for the suit and gives the salesman his contact details.

Before the suit is altered, a fire breaks out in the storeroom and the suit is destroyed. The boutique designer claims that David owned the suit at the time of the fire and therefore must bear the loss.

Use the IRAC method to advise David whether or not he will bear the loss of the destroyed suit based on the Sale of Goods Act

Complete and correctly sequence the steps for drawing Lewis Structures

WORD CHOICES: eight, one, valence, four, subtract, central, single, surrounding, higher, add, bonding, core, six, lower, more, multiple, less, two, pairs, Ione, octet, singles

A. Draw a ___ bond from each surrounding atom to the central atom, and ___ two valence electrons for each bond.

B. Determine the total number of ___ electrons available. For polyatomic ions, ___ one electron for each negative charge, or ___ one electron for each positive charge.

C. Place the atoms realtive to each other. Place the atom with ___ group number in the center because it has the ___ electronegativity. If atoms have the same group number, place the atom with the ___ period number in the center.

D. If the ___ atom still does not have a(n) ___, make a ___ bond by changing a ___ pait from on of the ___ atoms into a ___ pair to the ___ atom.

E. Distribute the remaining electrons as ___ so that each atom ends up with ___ electrons (or___for H). First place ___ pairs on ___ (___ electronegative) atoms to give each an ___. If any electrons remain, place them on the ___ atom. Then check that each atom has ___ electrons.

Stressed Out

In a 400-600 word answer, properly cited with an APA-formatted reference list and in-text citations, please answer the following questions. In addition to the researched facts you present as your answer, you may provide opinions and real-world experiences where appropriate.

The physical result of infectious disease is often more apparent than the impact it has on the mental health of the patient, family members, healthcare personnel, or even members of the general public. Whether the disease infects one person or becomes a full-fledged outbreak, the mental burden of possible illness or even death can take its toll.

Scenario: You are the attending physician in the psychiatric department of a community hospital. For the last few weeks there has been an increase in new patients complaining of stress and anxiety. You have examined their medical records to try to find a common source and determined that a recent international disease outbreak of hemorrhagic fever may be to blame.

Reflect on your personal response to disease outbreaks in the news or media. Is there a specific illness that has caused you any level of stress or worry? How did that stress manifest itself? How was it finally resolved?

What physical or mental suggestions would you give to the patients under your care? Summarize the basis of your recommendations and what you expect the outcome to be.

If that long-distance threat suddenly became a reality in your community, how would those recommendations change? What would be your new strategy to aid the residents in your area?
