ACT and SAT scores are both known to be normally distributed. In 2017, the mean and standard deviation for the ACT were μ=20 and σ=6, respectively. The mean and standard deviation for the SAT were μ=1060 and σ=200, respectively. a. What ACT score would place a student in the same percentile as a student who scored 1310 on the SAT in 2010? (In other words, what ACT score is "equivalent" to an SAT score of 1310?) Round your answer to the nearest integer. b. What SAT score would place a student in the same percentile as a student who scored 14.6 on the ACT in 2010? (In other words, what SAT score is "equivalent" to an ACT score of 14.6?) Round your answer to the nearest integer.

The null, Ho, indicates that there is either no relationship or a positive relationship between Amazon’s growth over the past ten years and number of Best Buy brick and mortar locations.  The alternative, H1, seeks to prove that there is a negative relationship between the variables, Amazon and Best Buy brick and mortar locations. In other words, Amazon’s growth is negatively impacting Best Buy by forcing store location closures. Using a 95% confidence interval, construct a test of hypothesis using the following data:

Neuroinvasive West Nile virus refers to a severe disease that affects a person’s nervous system. It is spread by the Culex species of mosquito. In the United States in 2010 there were 629 reported cases of neuroinvasive West Nile virus out of a total of 1021 reported cases, and there were 486 neuroinvasive reported cases out of a total of 712 cases reported in 2011. Can we conclude that the 2011 proportion of neuroinvasive West Nile virus cases is significantly more than the 2010 proportion of neuroinvasive West Nile virus cases? If you conduct hypothesis testing, you have to consider:

Group of answer choices

a test of two proportions

a test of two independent means

a test of a single mean

a test of a single proportion.

The United States’ health-related views and laws are shaped by social, political, and historical factors that are often part of the larger debate over individual rights versus the collective good. Based on this idea please discuss your thoughts on the 3 following public health topics.

• Should childhood immunizations be mandatory or optional?

• Should higher insurance rates or taxes be used to punish poor health choices (e.g., cigarettes, “junk” food)? Would this be unfair to individuals, or is this fair since all Americans pay a portion of the healthcare costs to care for people who make these choices?

• Should, in light of the current Covid-19 situation, should we be required to social distance, wear masks when we are in public, and be on lockdown when community numbers are higher?
