27. Call me: A sociologist wants to construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of children aged 8–10 living in New York who own a cell phone.

a. A survey by the National Consumers League estimated the nationwide proportion to be 0.32. Using this estimate, what sample size is needed so that the confidence interval will have a margin of error of 0.02?

b. Estimate the sample size needed if no estimate of p is available.

c. If the sociologist wanted to estimate the proportion in the entire United States rather than in New York, would the necessary sample size be larger, smaller, or about the same? Explain.

Recently there has been discussion in the news about taxing junk food (soft drinks, for example) in an effort to reduce the incidence of obesity in the U.S. Do you think the demand for junk food is elastic or inelastic with respect to price.

Based on your knowledge of the price elasticity of demand, do you think the dead weight loss of a soda/junk-food tax would be relatively large or relatively small? Why? Do you think taxing junk food would be a good idea? Based on your analysis, would it really help reduce the number of obese people in the United States? Explain.

A pollster claims that the mean amount spent on Christmas gifts by an American family is
$930 with a standard deviation of $180. What is the probability that the mean amount spent on
Christmas gifts for a sample of 500 families is between $910 and $970?

The distribution of the durations of human pregnancies in the United States is approximately
normal with mean 268 days and standard deviation 14 days.
a) What is the probability that a randomly selected US woman has a pregnancy which
lasts longer than 276 days?

b) What is the probability that an SRS of 20 US pregnancies show a sample mean that is
greater than 276 days?

imagine that the Fed decides to take action to restore GDP to the original level from before the increase in saving by American families. What policy would the Fed undertake? Consider the impact of the increased saving behavior and the Fed’s response in a short-run framework with the United States as a closed economy. That is, consider the combined short-run impact of these two developments – increased saving by American families and the Fed response to the increased saving. What would be the combined impact on U.S. GDP, consumption, interest rates, and investment compared to the original equilibrium before either the increase in saving or the response of the Fed? Explain.

Is the value of providing universal health coverage great enough to incur the cost of care to the uninsured? Or, are the uninsured of less value to society than the insured? What are society's obligations, if any, if someone decides not to purchase health insurance, but then falls seriously ill or is involved in a catastrophic accident? What are the obligations if their uninsured child needs care, if any?

This is for a discussion post. Please provide 125 words in your response. Thanks in advance.

The last idiot stated United States has a Universal Health Care system! We don't! And we have several people uninsured still! Please answer the question correctly!

The 2010 Supreme Court ruling in United States v. Comstock made it permissible to use civil commitment to further detain sexually dangerous offenders beyond their date of scheduled release. This means that a person can be convicted, sentenced, serve their entire sentence and be scheduled for release but still detained.

In your post, discuss what is supposed to be accomplished by this further detainment and how this detainment may be terminated. What are some of the requirements of this detainment, and are these requirements justifiable?
