Using the American Medical Association's list of 1989 graduates of American medical schools, separate random samples of 1250 female residents and 750 male residents were taken. Those selected into the sample received mail questionnaires regarding their residency program, home life and, in particular, parenting during residency. What type of sampling design was used ( I said stratified sampling)
One of the main goals of the survey was to estimate the proportion of all 3rd year residents parenting children during residency. Among the female respondents, 12% had children, and among the male respondents 22% had children. Estimate the overall proportion of 3rd year residents parenting children during residency.

American and Japanese workers can each produce 4 cars a year. An American worker can produce 10 tons of grain a year, whereas a Japanese worker can produce 5 tons of grain a year. To keep things simple, assume that each country has 100 million workers.
Construct a world production possibilities frontier, assuming our world consists of only the U.S. and Japan.
5.1 What is the maximum amount of grain our world could consume if the world wished to consume 200 million cars? _____million tons of grain
5.2 What is the maximum amount of grain our world could consume if the world wished to consume 400 million cars? _____million tons of grain
5.3 What is the maximum amount of grain our world could consume if the world wished to consume 600 million cars? _____million tons of grain
5.4 If 200 million cars are consumed, describe the mix of world production:
a. The US produces only cars, while Japan produces both cars and grain
b. The US produces both cars and grain, while Japan produces only cars
c. The US produces only grain, while Japan produces both cars and grain
d. The US produces only grain, while Japan produces only cars.
5.5 If 400 million cars are consumed, describe the mix of world production:
a. The US produces only cars, while Japan produces both cars and grain
b. The US produces both cars and grain, while Japan produces only cars
c. The US produces only grain, while Japan produces both cars and grain
d. The US produces only grain, while Japan produces only cars.
5.6 If 600 million cars are consumed, describe the mix of world production:
a. The US produces only cars, while Japan produces both cars and grain
b. The US produces both cars and grain, while Japan produces only cars
c. The US produces only grain, while Japan produces both cars and grain
d. The US produces only grain, while Japan produces only cars.
5.7 Specify a price at which both countries are willing to trade:
a. 3 tons of grain to 1 car
b. 1 ton of grain to 3 cars
c. 2 tons of grain to 1 car
d. 1 ton of grain to 2 cars

Cultural and technological advances began during the early civilizations, resulting in developments as fundamental and various as agriculture and writing systems, as well as fundamental understandings in different disciplines. Each of these developments contribute to what we are today, and without such developments, our current world would look quite different.
Building on your reading of the art of early civilizations, compare and contrast a cuneiform tablet with a smartphone or digital tablet using a Venn Diagram. Then answer the question that follows:
How can you measure the impact of an invention or other accomplishment?

The essay question concerns judicial interpretation of the Sherman Act, section 2 from the early days through the Grinnell case. How is the problem of “market definition” relevant in section 2 cases? Is monopolization illegal per se? Be prepared to explain the change in approach in the Alcoa case from the early days or “era of leniency” with respect to the types of evidence necessary to establish “evident purpose” or “intent to monopolize.” Also, according to the standards set in the Grinnell decision, when is the structural condition of monopoly “safe” from section 2 prosecution?

Researchers tracked 2,071 people from early childhood through adulthood and found that 13-year-olds who are frequent targets of bullies were three times more likely than their nonvictimized peers to be depressed later as adults.
What variables do the researchers measure? (Select all that apply.)
the level of bullying experienced as a 13-year-old
the number of nonvictimized peers
the level of depression as an adult
the number of 13-year-olds bullied
the ability to track people from early childhood through adulthood
