What are some of your current concerns about inflation? What actions should be taken to minimize your concerns?

The term inflation has been loosely thrown around for years. Economists clarify what kind of inflation they are talking about - at least the accomplished economists do this. So for us here in class, let's use these terms to make sure we are all talking about the same thing:

Price Inflation - the general increases in overall prices in the economy. This is usually measured by use of the GDP Deflator or the Consumer Price Index.

Monetary Inflation - the increase in the money supply. This is done through the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee, or through bank lending (fractional reserve lending).

When talking about "inflation" for this question, please use these terms.

1. Please explain in detail what is internal marketing (2 sentences 2 point). Think of four strategies that can enhance a company’s internal marketing (4 sentences 6 points).

2. Please list five different approaches to innovate service (5 sentences 5 points) and give an example (try not to repeat the same examples in the slides) for each approach (5 sentences 5 points).

3. Service providers often use instrumental controls and normative controls to influence customer behavior. For example, car rental companies may want to use these control methods to make their customers follow the non-smoking policy. In this case, please provide an instrumental control method and a normative control method (2 sentences 4 points). Please discuss the conditions under which the normative control method will be more effective? (2 sentences 2 points)

Given the following students' test scores (95, 92, 90, 90, 83, 83, 83, 74, 60, and 50), identify the mean, median, mode, range, variance, and standard deviation for the sample.

Write a 500-750-word summary and analysis discussing the results of your calculations. State your results for the sample: the mean, median, mode, range, variance, and standard deviation Explain which method is best for this data set. Why?

Conduct a one sample T-test and interpret the results (use a population mean of 70).

Prompt: In your analysis, you will describe the pathophysiology for your selected disease or illness, propose historical explanations for variations in findings (when applicable), and demonstrate use of nursing conceptual models to frame your discussion of adaptation and stressors collectively for system analysis.

Your plan of care should utilize the PIE (planning, intervention, and evaluation) format. The planning (P) section should include at least two short-term and two long-term goals that are most appropriate for your chosen case, and each goal should have measurable criteria and have a hypothetical target date or time. The intervention (I) section should include interventions or nursing actions that directly relate to the selected case’s goals and that are specific in action and frequency. The number of interventions should be appropriate for helping to meet individual goals. Finally, the evaluation (E) section of the plan of care should include proposed measures for determining success of the plan and an evaluation of the potential success of the plan, based on those measures. You may write the plan of care in either narrative format or as a table with appropriate in-text citation used to support the plan of care. for patient with acromegaly

KIA (Kligler Iron Agar) Slant KIA is the most complex media described in this exercise, and it is essential that you use the lab manual and the relevant videos for support when interpreting KIA results. KIA medium contains both the carbohydrates glucose and lactose, in a 1:10 ratio. I addition to the carbohydrates, the media also includes peptones, as an alternative energy source. This media results reveals use of both carbohydrates independently, plus the use of protein (peptones). The KIA medium also contains the pH indicator phenol red.

If an organism can utilize both glucose and lactose, which will be used first? Why?

When an organism used to inoculate a KIA slant can utilize glucose, a limited amount of acid will be produced. This is due to the limited amount of glucose in the media.

If KIA includes the pH indicator phenol red, what color will it turn when an organism breaks down glucose in the media?

1. A transect is an archaeological study area that is 1/5 mile wide and 1 mile long. A site in a transect is the location of a significant archaeological find. Let x represent the number of sites per transect. In a section of Chaco Canyon, a large number of transects showed that x has a population variance σ2 = 42.3. In a different section of Chaco Canyon, a random sample of 28 transects gave a sample variance s2 = 46.1 for the number of sites per transect. Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the variance in the new section is greater than 42.3. Find a 95% confidence interval for the population variance.

(f) Find the requested confidence interval for the population variance. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

There is a box of 20 marbles. Of these marbles, 6 are red, 8 are green and 6 are blue. 6 marbles are randomly selected from the box without replacement. Let X be the number of marbles that are red or blue, and let Y be the number of marbles that are blue.

1. What is the probability the first and second marbles are red, the third and fourth are blue and the fifth and sixth are green?

2. What is the probability we obtain 2 red, 2 blue and 2 green?

3. Find E (X).

4. Find Var(Y).

5. Find P (X = Y )

George was a participant in a visual priming experiment. He thinks that according to the study, subliminal perception can greatly influence behavior. He asks your opinion about purchasing subliminal message CDs to help him quit smoking. Research and describe some of the history of subliminal messages, their origins, and use in pop-culture. Research the online library for scholarly articles on subliminal messages and explain what you found regarding their validity. Based on what you found compare and contrast the validity of use on individuals and groups. Based on what you leaned thus far regarding learning and cognitive processes, what advice would you give George regarding quitting smoking?
