1.state and local government face three fundamental fiscal choices. please list these choices, and using an example in a specified government program, explain how these choices interact with each other, if at all.

2."if school expenditures are selected by a majority vote, then most of the voters in the district will be perfectly happy with the selected amount of spending." evaluate this statement.

3.Richard Musgrave has provided us with a 3-part defining state of the "role" of government. please describe each, and provide an example for each role.

4.state's constitutions provide guidance regarding fiscal policy and provide the operating parameters under which a budget is developed. describe the stages of the budget process in New York State, including the relevant time period for specific activities. include a discussion of the players (executive/legislature) and their role in the process.

5. what are "public goods"? define the characteristics using examples. the existence of externalities creates an efficiency problem in the provision of these goods and services. unlike the private sector, State and Local Government are able to intervene. using the example of an externality that will impact its provision, and detail how a government could intervene.

The reading speed of second grade students in a large city is approximately​ normal, with a mean of 90

words per minute​ (wpm) and a standard deviation of 10 wpm. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (e).

(a) What is the probability a randomly selected student in the city will read more than 94 words per minute? (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

(b) What is the probability that a random sample of 12 second grade students from the city results in a mean reading rate of more than 94 words per minute? (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

(c) What is the probability that a random sample of 24 second grade students from the city results in a mean reading rate of more than 94 words per​ minute? (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

(d) What effect does increasing the sample size have on the​ probability? Provide an explanation for this result.

(e) A teacher instituted a new reading program at school. After 10 weeks in the​ program, it was found that the mean reading speed of a random sample of 19 second grade students was 92.3 wpm. What might you conclude based on this​ result?

Please show work, write legibly!

1. The researcher from the Annenberg School of Communications is interested in studying the factors that influence how much time people spend talking on their smartphones. She believes that gender might be one factor that influences phone conversation time. She specifically hypothesizes that women and men spend different amounts of time talking on their phones. The researcher conducts a new study and obtains data from a random sample of adults from two groups identified as women and men. She finds that the average daily phone talking time among 15 women in her sample is 42 minutes (with a standard deviation of 6). The average daily minutes spent talking on the phone among 17 men in her sample is 38 (with a standard deviation of 5). She selects a 95% confidence level as appropriate to test the null hypothesis.

a) Please identify the independent variable for the researcher's hypothesis in the text box below.

b) What is the unit of analysis?

c) What is the alpha?

d) State the research and null hypothesis in symbols. Make sure to be as complete as possible (Using H1: and H0:).

I have a team project for strategic management ,where we have to develop an intregated brand promotion campaing for a new product that will build the brand equity of the chosen familiy brand.

Support Statements/Reasons Why

What supporting facts do we have to make this effective? These are reasons the Key Promise is true. It’s important that your audience buys into the key promise, or your efforts are not likely to be effective

Openings

When or where are the ”teachable moments”? When is your audience in a mindset that would make them more open to your message? ie: is it seasonal- summer, fall? Back to school? Holiday?

As you have been witnessing, historically science has been an elite road traveled by the rich, religious leaders, and the privately educated. Today, we are seeing a movement in STEM and STEAM to promote scientific endeavors in the public school system and in the community. In fact, you have just finished a community based science project. Your job is to compare and contrast the ways in which science was disseminated throughout the culture in the renaissance to today. Your ultimate question to answer is...

Is our education system serving scientific thought and the creation of new scientists and scientific discovery?

Hint: You may wish to look at what STEM and STEAM programs are and what the NGSS standards are for public education.

Requirements:

Four different sources using APA citation

The NASW Code of Ethics makes a number of statements about social workers’ responsibility to study, use, and engage in research and evaluation. In the past, many social workers had difficulty thinking of themselves as knowledgeable and capable in research, despite completing the required research course in school. Think of yourself as a part of a new breed of social workers. You are completing your education at a point in time that places great emphasis on both research and evaluation. You also have greater access to published research than ever before. Research knowledge and skills are like muscles—if you do not use them, they will atrophy. You have an ethical obligation as a social worker to exercise and flex your research muscle. Consider how the NASW Code of Ethics guides your professional research.

Post an analysis of how you would present the results of the evaluation to a group of social work colleagues. Identify the background information that you think they would need and the key message of your presentation. Explain the strategies that you might use to meet your colleagues’ interests and goals. Identify questions that your colleagues might have and what their reactions might be.
