1.A pharmaceutical company is testing their new nicotine patch. They randomly assign 100 volunteers to use the patch and finding that 37 had quit smoking after 8 weeks. Compute the 96% confidence interval. You DO need to check CLT here.

2.For # 32 .In the United States, the population mean height for 3-year-old boys is 38 inches. Suppose a random sample of 30 non-U.S. 3-year-old boys showed a sample mean of 37.2 inches with a standard deviation of 3 inches. The boys were independently sampled. Assume that heights are Normally distributed in the population. Determine whether the population mean for non-U.S. boys is significantly different from the U.S. population mean. Use a significance level of 1%. assume that CLT applies.

The pharmaceutical company in #32 repeats their test, this time randomly assigning 125 volunteers to use the patch and finding that 49 had quit smoking after 8 weeks. Compute the 98% confidence interval, and use it to determine if you can support the company’s claim that over half of people on the patch quit smoking after 8 weeks. You do NOT need to check CLT here.

Twins Silvia and Lynette are now 6 years old. Time has flown for parents Brett and Brenna. Raising twins is an adventure for sure. While identical in appearance at birth, the twins have always had unique personalities, and now they're developing into their own little people. Silvia, who seemed to grow on air for a good chunk of her toddler years, is now the taller of the two, while Lynette is the one with the smaller appetite at the moment. Both girls have thinned out in the last few years, which Brenna and Brett attribute to their nonstop playing.

1. Silvia begins to put on a little more weight and, about a month later, Lynette follows the same trend. Their bodies are increasing in body fat percentage. It is not drastic, neither parent is alarmed, and they feel it is normal and want to support a healthy body image for both girls. The increase in body fat that occurs around 6 years of age and prepares the body for the changes of adolescence is known as ____________.

a. BMI rebound

b. weight rebound

c. structural maturation

d. adipose restructuring

e. developmental stores

2. Brenna and Brett are amazed at how fast the girls have grown. Since both parents work full time, they feel like sometimes they are not doing enough to provide proper nutrition for the girls. Brenna has the girls drink a cup of milk with dinner to ensure they are at least getting some calcium. However, a cup of milk has only about 300 mg of calcium, which Brenna feels is below the recommendation. What is the recommendation of dietary calcium per day?

a. 100 mg/day

b. 1000 mg/day

c. 1300 mg/day

d. 10 mg/day

3. Brenna comes home after a long shift at work. Not only did she have an employee quit unexpectedly, she also had to deal with stressors from her boss wanting her to get ahead of another project. At home, she walks in the front door to yet another unforeseen stressor: the girls run up to her asking to go out to lunch. Brett informs Brenna that the girls have seen multiple commercials for pizza and now are dying to go out and eat pizza.

True or False: Advertisements to children can have an impact on food preference.

a. True

b. False

4. At first, Brenna and Brett were happy to see that the girls had gained weight to be within a healthy weight range. Over the past year, however, they have noticed that the girls have been especially picky in foods that they will eat, mostly gravitating towards fast foods and processed foods.

True or False: Based on their recent weight gain, Sylvia and Lynette are exceeding total calories, which is common for children ages 6 to 11.

a. True

b. False

5. Oh no! Lynette has proven the statistic that one in two children ages 6 to 9 will develop dental decay in their primary or permanent teeth. She has a cavity at their latest dental appointment that requires a filling. Fortunately, it's not in a permanent tooth. What can Brett and Brenna do to help ensure that neither of the girls get any more cavities?

a. Brush teeth immediately after having gummy or sticky foods.

b. Choose snacks that are a combination of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.

c. Have regular meal and snacks times instead of continual snacking throughout the day.

d. Rinse or brush teeth after eating.

e. All of these are correct.

6. While neither parent is worried about the girls' recent weight gains, they are being mindful to watch for any signs that the girls are gaining too much weight. While healthy food is the norm in their household, the girls are in control of their own intake while eating out, such as at school events and at their grandparents' house.

True or False: Beyond consumption of healthy and unhealthy foods, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children have no more than 2 hours of screen time daily to reduce their amount of sedentary time.

a. True b. False

Pick the best choice

A researcher examined if a new prep-course has an effect on the final exammm scores among BCX students. He selected 20 BCX students and ask them to complete the prep-course for three weeks before the final exammm. After analyzing the sample data, the one-sample t-statistics was 2.08. With α = .05, the two-tailed test, what can he conclude?

*Failed to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the new-prep course has no effect.
*Reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the prep-course had an effect.
*Reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the new-prep course has no effect.
*Failed to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the new-prep course has an effect.

A researcher compared a sample of XDS students (n = 8) and a sample of XDS students (n = 10) on the GPA. After computing the difference between the two groups, he found t= 1.75.

-Reject the null hypothesis, and there is no difference between two groups on the GPA.
-Failed to reject the null hypothesis, and there is no difference between two groups on the GPA.
-Reject the null hypothesis, and there is a difference between two groups on the GPA.
-Failed to reject the null hypothesis, and there is a difference between two groups on the GPA.

Which of the following research situations would be most likely to use an independent-measures design?
*Examine the long-term effectiveness of a stop-smoking treatment by interviewing subjects 2 months and 6 months after the treatment ends.
*Compare the blood-pressure readings before medication and after medication for a group a patients with high blood pressure.
*Compare the mathematics skills for 9th-grade boys versus 9th-grade girls.
*Examine the development of vocabulary as a group of children mature from age 2 to age 3.

Which of the following research situations is most likely to use an independent design?
*Evaluate the effectiveness of a pain reliever by measuring how much pain is reduced after taking the medication.
*Evaluate the difference in self-esteem between student athletes and non-athletes
*Evaluate the developmental change of verbal skills as a sample of 30 girls matures from age 2 to age    3.
*Evaluate the effectiveness of a cholesterol medication by comparing cholesterol levels before and after the medication.

When n is small (less than 30), how does the shape of the t distribution compare to the normal distribution?

-It is perfectly normal.

Marge is a single parent who dropped out of high school to marry Andrew when she...

Marge is a single parent who dropped out of high school to marry Andrew when she was 17 years old and pregnant. After 6 years of marriage and two children (Stacy, age 5 years, and Monica, age 2 years), Marge divorced Andrew because of his drinking, affairs, and lack of support of her and the children.

Andrew has a job delivering newspapers and spends free time drinking beer with friends. He only sporadically provides monetary support. Marge and the girls live in a small apartment. Because she has only a minimum wage job, Marge relies on food stamps and other types of assistance. Babysitters and rent are major expenses, and Marge continually worries about being able to pay rent. She would like to earn her GED to get a better job, but she lacks the time and resources to make that happen. Andrew sees the girls only occasionally—usually when Marge asks him to keep the girls so she can work extra shifts. He dislikes spending his time babysitting the girls and openly verbalizes his frustration with the “whiny girls.”

Marge’s parents live close by but believe that Marge deserves her situation. They were very against her leaving school to get married, and they consider Andrew a “deadbeat.” They have declined to help Marge financially, citing concerns for their own retirement. They also do not help with babysitting, and they accuse Marge of “spoiling the girls.” Marge has always believed that her parents liked her older brother, Dominic, better. He is married and has three children, who spend a great deal of time with Marge’s and Dominic’s parents. Dominic rarely interacts with Marge because they “don’t have anything in common.”

Recently, after the girls spent time with their father, Marge noticed bruises on the arms and the buttocks of Monica. When she asked the girls what happened, Stacey said, “Daddy got mad when Monica wet her pants and spanked her.” A week later, while at a health clinic getting Stacy immunized for school, Marge shared with the nurse practitioner details of her life and situation: lack of money, lack of support, working too many hours, fear of losing her apartment, and now Andrew hurting Monica. She said she does not know what to do and began crying.


Case Analysis

Marge and Andrew, while married, were in the stage of “families with young children” in the “family life cycle,” whereas their parents are in the stage of “families in later life.” However, since the divorce, Marge and the children form the family unit. Both Marge and Andrew are in the developmental stage of young adults.

The interactions among all the family members are dysfunctional. Marge’s parents appear to favor her brother and his children while giving little support or encouragement to Marge. Exploration of the origins of this situation is necessary before any practical suggestions for resolution of differences can be offered. Family therapy involving Marge, Dominic, and their parents would be ideal but is unlikely to occur.

The nurse practitioner must be cognizant of the laws of the state where he or she practices and must report the alleged abuse. Marge may need to consult with legal aid to change visitation rights for Andrew so that she can keep the children safe. Referral of Marge to a counseling center where she could obtain assistance with planning to obtain a GED, prepare for a higher paying job, and obtain financial assistance would be a short-term solution. Marge must also plan for child care; she might be able to find a day-care center for low-income families for Monica.

This is a family with serious problems with interrelationships. There are many long-term problems with few or no short-term solutions. Counseling individually and as a family is necessary to attain more healthy interactions but may be unlikely to occur. It will take great resolve and work on Marge’s part to achieve her goal of a healthy relationship with her parents and brother.

Question 1:
Bases on the case study what theory of Family Dynamics would best fit this family? Provide rationale and examples from the case study.

Question 2:
What is the law regarding mandatory reporting of suspected child abuse in your state? Are nurses mandated reporters? Members of what other professions are mandated reporters? What constitutes “suspected child abuse?” How would you feel about reporting alleged child abuse in this case?

question is very clear. please if you cant answer then let someone else donit.

could you discribe two audit risks that are applicable to Afterpay. (materiality risk and detection risk)
if you could explain these risks with giving an example (hypothetical) with afterpay highly apprriciete.
Afterpay was founded in 2015 by Nick Molnar and Anthony Eisen to provide a platform for allowing retailers to offer online layby. With the introduction of the Afterpay mobile app in 2017, Afterpay expanded its offerings to also be available for use at in-store retail locations.[3]
In 2017, Afterpay merged with one of its technology suppliers, Touchcorp. Subsequent to the merger, Afterpay's business operations consist of "buy now" and "pay later" business segments. Its pay later business enables retailers to offer their customers the facility to buy now and pay later without requiring traditional credit, upfront fees or interest, allowing customers to have the ability to make purchases now and pay for them in four equal payments made every fortnight without any interest. There is no interest charged to customers for using this service. However, failure to make their payments will result in a late fee. Customers are required to be over eighteen years of age to use the service.
