After years of rapid growth, illegal immigration into the United States has declined, perhaps owing to the recession and increased border enforcement by the United States (Los Angeles Times, September 1, 2010). While its share has declined, California still accounts for 35% of the nation’s estimated 11.3 million undocumented immigrants.
a. In a sample of 60 illegal immigrants, what
is the probability that more than 21% live in California?
(Round “z” value to 2 decimal places, and final
answer to 4 decimal places.)
b. In a sample of 120 illegal immigrants, what is
the probability that more than 21% live in California?
(Round “z” value to 2 decimal places, and final
answer to 4 decimal places.)
c. Comment on the reason for the difference
between the computed probabilities in parts a and b.
As the sample number increases, the probability of more than 21% also increases, due to the lower z value and decreased standard error.
As the sample number increases, the probability of more than 21% also increases, due to the lower z value and increased standard error.

A. As a health policy expert, you are interested in knowing whether men and women in the United States differ in the frequency they visit doctors when sick. So you conduct a survey of 134 people and ask them how often they visit a doctor when they are sick. The results from this sample are as follows:

Perform the appropriate hypothesis test, at alpha = .01, to determine whether there is a relationship between sex and the frequency with which individuals in the United States visit doctors. You must show your hand calculations for this problem. Describe your hypotheses, results, and conclusion in a brief paragraph. If it is appropriate, you should also discuss the strength of the relationship based upon a suitable measure.
B . Show in a table or explain in words what the crosstabulation for your two variables from
Question above would look like if there were absolutely no association between the independent variable and the dependent variable.

Immigration In April 2010, the state of Arizona passed one of the most stringent immigration laws in the nation. The law requires all immigrants to carry their immigration documents with them at all times, and it authorizes law enforcement officials to question and apprehend anyone they suspect of being an illegal immigrant. Individuals who are not carrying the appropriate papers will be at least detained, and local governments and police departments that do not comply with the order can be reprimanded. This law has drawn fire from critics including President Obama, who believes it undermines the basic idea of fairness that we hold as standard in the United States. The Obama administration challenged the law in court, but in 2012, the Supreme Court ruled that the law’s central provision, the requirement that law enforcement check the legal status of anyone suspected of being an illegal immigrant, was constitutional. It can be said that the United States is a nation of immigrants, based on our history. What are some reasons why people are so resistant to immigration despite this history? Elaborate on your peers’ posts with a well-thought-out, substantive comment that contributes new knowledge to the conversation.

You work for a company that makes vehicle safety systems, such as radar, on-board cameras, and the ever-present back-up beeper. To reduce costs on your most mature product, the back-up beeper, you are considering moving production out of the United States. You are considering Mexico, Philippines, and Singapore. You are interested in road infrastructure, port infrastructure, technological readiness, and wages. 1. Compare the four countries on these dimensions. Include the United States in your analysis as well as a baseline. For wages, use the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Foreign Labor Statistics. In particular, use the Index of Hourly Compensation. For the other data, use the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report. The bar chart comparison feature is an efficient way to get the information you need.
2. You are also interested in the overall business climate, which you consider to consist of factors like corruption, accounting standards, and a solid legal system. compare the overall level of opacity of each of each of the four countries.
3. What other factors should be considered?
4. What is your recommendation?

Between 1962 (79 percent) and 2011 (61.4 percent) Voter turnout fell dramatically. According to a portion of its comparable Australia, New Zeland, and the United States, the Gallagher Index of Disproportionality for Canadian government races in that period ran from 6.26 to 20.91, yet altogether higher than many others such as Belgium, Germany, Ireland, the United States, and the Scandinavian nations.Consider the following situation: Julie and Mark are brother and sister. They are traveling together in France on summer vacation from college. One night they are staying alone in a cabin near the beach. They decide that it would be interesting and fun if they tried making love. Julie was already taking birth control pills, but Mark uses a condom too, just to be safe. They both enjoy making love, but they decide not to do it again.
(a) Briefly explain, in 100 words or less, why Julie and Mark’s actions would be morally wrong, according to Natural Law Theory. (10%)
(b) How would liberal ethics view Julie and Mark’s actions? Briefly explain, in 100 words or less. (5%)

International Machinery Company (IMC) is a Swedish multinational manufacturing company. Currently, IMC's financial planners are considering undertaking a 1-year project in the United States. The project's expected dollar-denominated cash flows consist of an initial investment of $2,650 and a cash inflow the following year of $3,350. IMC estimates that its risk-adjusted cost of capital is 14%. Currently, 1 U.S. dollar will buy 7.1 Swedish kronas. In addition, 1-year risk-free securities in the United States are yielding 6%, while similar securities in Sweden are yielding 5%.
a. If the interest parity holds, what is the forward exchange rate of Swedish krona per U.S. dollar? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Swedish krona per U.S. dollar
b. If IMC undertakes the project, what is the net present value and rate of return of the project for IMC in home currency? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.
NPV: Swedish kronas
Rate of return: %
