Is there a relation between police protection and fire protection? A random sample of large population areas gave the following information about the number of local police and the number of local fire-fighters (units in thousands). (Reference: Statistical Abstract of the United States.)

Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that there is a monotone relationship (either way) between the ranks of number of police and number of firefighters.

(a) Rank-order police using 1 as the largest data value. Also rank-order firefighters using 1 as the largest data value. Then construct a table of ranks to be used for a Spearman rank correlation test.

(b) What is the level of significance?

State the null and alternate hypotheses.

H_o: ρ_s < 0;  H₁: ρ_s = 0H_o: ρ_s = 0; H₁: ρ_s > 0     H_o: ρ_s = 0;  H₁: ρ_s ≠ 0H_o: ρ_s = 0; H₁: ρ_s < 0

(c) Compute the sample test statistic. (Use 3 decimal places.)


(d) Find the P-value interval of the sample test statistic.
P-value <  ---Select--- 0.001 0.002 0.01 0.05

(e) Conclude the test.

At the α = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.At the α = 0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.     At the α = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.At the α = 0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.

(f) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.

Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that a monotonic relationship exists between number of fire fighters and police.Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that a monotonic relationship exists between number of fire fighters and police.     Reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that a monotonic relationship exists between number of fire fighters and police.Reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that a monotonic relationship exists between number of fire fighters and police.

You will design and create your own GUI application for the Bank project. This project should be designed and written by Java programming.

The requirements of the program:

1. The program will be best implemented as a multi-file program for each class.

2. The parameters and return types of each function and class member should be decided in advance. You may need to add more member variables and functions to the classes than those listed below. Also, you can throws any user-defined exceptions or any possible exceptions.

3. You will create the following class:

A. Design a generic class to hold the information about a Bank. Bank has customers

B. Design a class to hold the information about a Customer. A Customer has an account number and at least one/ or more banking account(s), and all the information about the customer.

C. Design an abstract class to hold the information about a BankingAccount. Balance, number of deposits this month, number of withdrawals, annual interest rate, monthly service charges, etc…

The class should have the following member functions: Constructor, deposit, withdraw, monthly process, etc…

D. Design a SavingsAccount class, derived from the generic BankingAccount class. If the balance of a savings account falls below $25, it becomes inactive. No more withdrawals may be made until the balance is raised above $25, at which time the account becomes active again.

The savings account class should have the following members functions for withdrawing, deposit, status, etc…

E. Next, design a CheckingAccount class, also derived from the generic BankingAccount class. Implement the base class’s withdraw function, this function will determine if a withdrawal (a check written) will cause the balance to go below $0. If the balance does below $0, a service charge of $15 will be taken from the account. If there isn’t enough in the account to pay the service charge, the balance will become negative and the customer will own the negative amount to the bank. service charge for the check written over 5 will add the monthly fee of $5 plus $0.10 per withdrawal (check written). if the check written is below and equal to 5 checks, it will be no charge.

F. Design and create a GUI BankGUIFrame class that allows the user to enter the customer’s information as well as the amounts of withdrawals and deposits for a saving account and checking account. The program should display statistics for the month, including beginning balance, the total amount of deposits, total amount of withdrawals, service charges, and ending balance. Use GUI components. Event handlings for some GUI components.

G. Write a driver BankGUITest class that demonstrates how each of conditions work.

H. The program also need to prevent any exceptions to occur.

Ethical issues related to caring for low birth weight infants

Abstract

Background:

Currently preterm births are the leading causes of newborn deaths and newborn mortality in developed countries. Infants born prematurely remain vulnerable to many acute complications and long-term disabilities. There is a growing concern surrounding the moral and ethical implications of the complex and technological care being provided to extremely low birth weight infants in neonatal intensive care units in the developed nations.

Research purpose:

The purpose of this study was to describe the ethical and moral issues that neonatal intensive care nurses experience when caring for low birth weight preterm infants and their families.

Research design:

A phenomenological method design was used to describe the lived experiences of nurses with ethical and moral issues encountered in the neonatal intensive care unit. One-on-one, semi-structured interviews using open-ended questions were used to gather data from the participants.

Research participants:

The setting for this study was a 97-bed neonatal intensive care. A total of 16 female nurses were interviewed.

Ethical considerations:

Approval to conduct the research study was obtained from the institutional review board of the hospital where the study was conducted. Formal signed consent was obtained from each participant. To ensure confidentiality, each participant was asked to choose a confederate name to be used in the interview and the transcriptions.

Findings:

The thematic analysis identified five recurring themes: (a) at the edge of viability, (b) infant pain and discomfort, (c) crucial decisions, (d) communicating with parents, and (e) letting go.

Conclusion:

Neonatal intensive care unit nurses indicated that they often had challenges to their own sense of morality as they struggled to protect the infant from pain and unnecessary discomfort, provide care to an infant and their family whom they thought was faced with a lifetime of challenges and poor health, accepting decisions made by parents, and feeling as if parents were not adequately informed about outcomes.
