A researcher wants to test the efficacy of a drug called Ozempic for curbing hunger and thus promoting weight loss. The researcher believes that feelings of hunger will decrease after taking Ozempic. The researcher recruits 5 people to participate. They rate their hunger before taking a dose of Ozempic and then rate it again after taking Ozempic. The data are provided below. Test their hypothesis using the 5-step hypothesis testing procedure. Report your answers for each step by filling in the blanks below. Use a=0.05. Please post the answers to all 5 steps:
| Before | After |
| 9 | 5 |
| 8 | 5 |
| 7 | 1 |
| 10 | 2 |
| 6 | 6 |
Step 1: The researcher's hypothesis is (type your answer as: 1-tailed or 2-tailed):
Step 2: t obtained= (type your answer with 2 decimal places)
Step 3: t critical= (type your answer with 3 decimal places; report 2 critical values if necessary)
Step 4: Make your comparison. No need to write anything here.
Step 5: Type your final numerical answer in APA format:
and then type your conclusion:

Jesse Brimhall is single. In 2019, his itemized deductions were $9,000 before considering any real property taxes he paid during the year. Jesse’s adjusted gross income was $70,000 (also before considering any property tax deductions). In 2019, he paid real property taxes of $3,000 on property 1 and $1,200 of real property taxes on property 2. He did not pay any other deductible taxes during the year.
a. If property 1 is Jesse’s primary residence and property 2 is his vacation home (he does not rent it out at all), what is his taxable income after taking property taxes into account?
b.If property 1 is Jesse’s business building (he owns the property) and property 2 is his primary residence, what is his taxable income after taking property taxes into account (ignore the deduction for qualified business income)?
c. If property 1 is Jesse’s primary residence and property 2 is a parcel of land he holds for investment, what is his taxable income after taking property taxes into account?

Climate change is a great environmental threat that requires attention. It exacerbates extreme weather patterns and changes in temperature, which in turn affect the livelihoods and lifestyles of people around the world. The biggest cause of climate change is the emission of CO2. One solution to climate change is the use of current renewable energy. Renewable energy is an adequate form of energy that does not require fuel. Its advantage is that it is virtually inexhaustible in duration; they are constantly replenished. However, they are limited in flow; solar energy and wind power are not always available. Another solution is nuclear power, which is a less appealing solution compared to renewable energy. Advancing technology nuclear power can increase the risk that the nuclear power will be used for malevolent purposes, such as creating weapons. Nuclear power is also dangerous in that errors in operation can lead to a disaster similar to that of Chernobyl, where a nuclear reactor explosion caused numerous deaths resulting from radiation exposure.
Bill Gates’ proposed solution for the climate change problem is TerraPower. TerraPower “breeds [the 99%, the 238] uranium as it goes along, so it's kind of like a candle” (Gates, 2010). The 238 uranium is thus essentially a “miracle battery,” storing enough fuel for the entire lifetime on the planet (Gates, 2010). I think if we depend on nuclear power for energy, there is always the risk of equipment malfunction and radiation exposure, which is extremely detrimental. Nonetheless, Gates understands the value of discovering innovative ideas through research and technology in order to benefit the public. Essentially, his wish for efficient, low cost energy is an idea worth spreading.
