A visiting American executive finds that a foreign subsidiary in a poor nation has hired a 12-year-old girl to work on a factory floor, in violation of the company's prohibition on child labor. He tells the local manager to replace the child and tell her to go back to school. The local manager tells the American executive that the child is an orphan with no other means of support. If denied work, she will probably become a street child along with her 6-year-old brother whom she supports. What should the American executive do? (in 250 words)

Question 2: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published the results of a study of the dietary intake of sugar by children.

In the trial a sample of 657 randomly selected American children between the ages of 5 and 12 was chosen, and for each child a seven day food diary was filled in. An analysis of the data showed a sample mean of 134.3 g of sugar per day with a standard deviation of 48.1 g. Using the results from this sample, estimate the 68%, 95%, and 99% confidence intervals for the mean daily sugar intake of all American children (i.e., the population mean).

Solve for the call option premium given the following information:
Current Stock Price: $63 (non-dividend paying stock)

Strike Price: $65

Risk Free-rate: 5.00%

Time to expiration: 9 months

Put premium: $5.50

If the above call option is an American-style call option, would it make sense for the holder of the option to exercise the option before expiration? Why or why not? Based on what you know about the relationship between American and European options, what is the call option premium of an American-style option given the above data?

This assignment is for a Culturally Alert Counseling class. The first culture, within this assignment:

Discuss the Native American culture, specifically males, and what issues a counselor must be culturally sensitive to and what obstacles may be present.

My initial thoughts are you also have to be mindful that the Native American culture is very spiritual, uses sweat lodges to connect with their spirits when they feel "broken" and I believe they rely on their tribal elders for guidance? Also, men face a stigma in mental health seeking patterns, is this the same for Native American males?

Thank you

ccording to a survey conducted by the Association for Dressings and Sauces (Links to an external site.), 30% of American adults eat salad once each week. A nutritionist suspects that this percentage is not accurate. She conducts a survey of 121 American adults and finds that 30 of them eat salad once per week. Use a 0.1 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of American adults who eat salad once per week is different from 30%.

The test statistic is:                             [ Select ]                       ["-4.17", "-1.69", "-4.22", "-1.25", "-2.88", "-3.45"]      

The p-value is:                            [ Select ]                       ["0.2112", "0.4224", "0.2995", "0.1056", "0.3321"]      

Based on this we:                            [ Select ]                       ["Fail to reject the null hypothesis", "Reject the null hypothesis"]      

Conclusion There                              [ Select ]                       ["does", "does not"]         appear to be enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of American adults who eat salad once per week is different from 30%.

Raising wages and strengthening economic progress for American workers

Jared Bernstein, Jay Shambaugh, and Adrianna PitaWednesday, March 14, 2018

The Brookings Institution has released a half-hour podcast interviewing two economists about strategies to raise wages and strengthen the economy for American workers.

In this episode, Jay Shambaugh, director of The Hamilton Project and senior fellow in Economic Studies at Brookings, and Jared Bernstein, senior fellow at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, discuss the decades-long trend of real wage stagnation and policy solutions for increasing productivity, strengthening wage growth, and ensuring that national economic growth is reflected in the living standards of all American workers.

2. Brief explanation of the underlying pathophysiology (IN YOUR OWN WORDS-Do not cut and paste a textbook description)
3. Identify the 3 most critical clinical manifestations (changes in vital signs, lab values, pain, etc.) caused by this disease process.
4. List 2 Pharmacological (medication) interventions
5. List 2 Non-Pharmacological interventions
6. Explain the outcomes for these interventions; how would the hospital staff know an intervention worked? Which lab values, assessments would indicate improvement?
7. Identify at least one clinical practice guideline from a professional medical association (American Academy of Pediatrics, American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation, American Academy of Family Physicians, American Thoracic Society, Centers for Disease Control, etc.).
   1. Explain how a healthcare administrator would use these practice guidelines to ensure the highest quality of healthcare in his or her facility.

1.) Suppose the scores on the Braver Pure Intelligence Test (BPIT) are normally distributed with a mean of 200, and a standard deviation of 20. If we pick someone from the population at random and give him or her the test, the probability that this person’s BPIT score will be over 225 is approximately…

A schoolteacher is concerned that her students watch more TV than the average American child. She reads that according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the average American child watches 4 hours of TV per day (μ = 4.0 hours). She records the number of hours of TV each of her six students watch per day. The times (in hours) are 4.1, 2.4, 4.8, 5.4, 2.9, and 4.4.

1. Test the hypothesis that her students watch more TV than the average American child using a 0.05 level of significance and a one-independent sample t-test. State the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

2. State the decision to retain or reject the null hypothesis.

3. Compute effect size using estimated Cohen's d. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
