LP8 Assignment: CMS Director This assignment will assess the competency 8. Evaluate trends that will affect the long-term care system in the future as well as challenges facing managers in the long-term care system of the future. Prepare a 3-4 page, double-spaced paper (cite 3-4 reliable sources) that addresses the following scenario: You are the newly appointed director of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). With health care costs continuing to soar, the Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) rollout and Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement Plan in place, and the rollout of the Affordable Care Act in progress, you are confronted with potential increases in payments for Medicare and Medicaid programs. Meanwhile, the Director for the Administration on Aging continues to send you data about the portending rise in the number of older people and those with disabilities and the needs of such persons for comprehensive care, not just acute care. • Detail the impact the changing consumer demographics will have on long-term care. • Based on the statistics from the Director of Administration on Aging, detail how the CMS can expect facilities to focus on quality and outcomes relating to long-term care. How will this focus impact providers operationally? • Detail how these changes will impact the delivery of long-term care. • Detail what policies and regulatory measures you would take as the Director of CMS. • Detail what additional long-term strategies you would pursue to make national resources meet the nation’s need for chronic care. Submit this assignment to your instructor via the dropbox "LP8 Assignment: CMS Director." This assignment is worth 60 points and will be graded according to the scoring guide below.

Suppose the probability mass function of a random variable X is given by

??x−1?pr(1−p)x−r, ifx=r,r+1,r+2,... f(x) = r−1

0, otherwise

If this is the case then we say X is distributed as a Negative Binomial Random Variable with parameters r and p and we write X ∼ NegBin(r, p) (a) If we set r = 1, what distribution do we get? (b) Explain what this random variable models and justify the formula. (Hint: See Section 4.8.2 in Ross.) Math 241 Quiz 3 - Page 2 of 2 August 2019 (c) For this random variable, what is E[X] and Var[X]? There is no need to prove your answer or show any work for this part. (Hint: See Section 4.8.2 in Ross.) (d) In tossing a fair die repeatedly (and independently on successive tosses), find the proba- bility of getting the third “1” on the xth toss. (Hint: Let X denote the number of tosses required until we get our third “1”, or equivalently our third success. Then X is what kind of random variable?) (e) In tossing a fair die repeatedly (and independently on successive tosses), find the proba- bility of getting the third “1” on the fifth toss. (f) What is the average number of trials it will take to get our third “1”? (Hint: Use the results of part (c) for your solution).

Say as much as possible about each of the following system’s solution set (recall that there are 3 possible solution set sizes to linear systems. Can you use process of elimination to rule some out?) State the theorems you use to reach your conclusions.

(a) A consistent system of 5 equations in 8 variables.

(b) A system with 11 equations in 12 variables.

(c) A system with 16 equations and 13 variables. The reduced row-echelon form of the augmented matrix of the system has 14 pivot columns

Detail, with very specific examples of each item, the meaning of the following concepts related to statistical data gathering: Be sure that the concept is first defined, IN YOUR OWN WORDS, and that you use a concrete example (including visual examples) to illustrate your understanding of the statistical concept: Population and Sample

Please answer for college physics discussion post. Please only type out the response as when writing it and uploading it is difficult to read. Thanks!

Respond to the following in detail:

• In your own words, explain angular momentum, moment of inertia, and torque. Also give examples.

The Impact of Government Policy on Competitive Market

1. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Malay government temporarily eliminated import tariffs on disposable (single use) surgical masks. As a result, the domestic demand for disposable surgical masks were fulfilled by domestic production and imports. By July 2020, 99 million surgical masks valued at Rp400 billion were imported to Indonesia That same month, industry representatives asked the government to restore the import tariff on surgical masks. Assume that if the tariff is restored, there will still be import of surgical masks.

a. Explain the possible welfare impact of restoring the import tariff for surgical masks. Should the government impose an import quota instead? Explain your answer and use a graph to support your arguments.

Assume that the domestic demand for surgical mask in Malaysia (in million units) is Qd = 210 − 2P; the domestic supply in Malaysia (in million units) is Qs' = −100 + 600p; the world price is $0.40, and there are no barriers to trade. Calculate:
b. The quantity of domestic consumption, production, and import of masks!
c. The welfare impact of an import tariff of $0.05 per unit of surgical mask – explain in detail who gains, who loses, and by how much!

1) How does capital investment affect the marginal physical product of labor? Does more college education have the same kind of effect? Which is a better investment? Please explain your answers in detail.

(2) While explaining your answer in detail, if you wish, you can also include an example. According to the rule for optimal input usage, a firm should hire a person as long as her marginal revenue product is greater than her marginal cost to the company. It is well known that many companies have management training programs in which new trainees are paid relatively high starting salaries and are not expected to make substantial contributions to the company until after the program is over (programs may run between 6 to 18 months). In offering such training programs, is a company violating the optimality rule? Explain.

1) A group of software developers are geographically dispersed in three different continents of America, Asia and Europe. They use different types of communication and collaboration tools to facilitate working as team members. Explain with detail three primary challenges in terms of communication/collaboration that these software developers may face. Once explained the challenges, how do you think such teams can overcome these challenges?

2)Using an example (a job title), explain the “managerial level” of decision making, and describe the major characteristics of jobs at this level? How the use of Business intelligence (BI) helps employees at this level?
