5. Explain how some parents’ decision to not immunize their children, hoping that all other children have been vaccinated, could be an example of a free riding.

How and why is this parents’ behavior dangerous to the public? Be as specific as possible.

Define what free riding is, what types of goods/services are likely to suffer from it, use the idea of MSC and MPC and clearly state what has to happen such that this behavior of the parents was classified as a free riding and created a negative externality.

Heather Anderson is a vegetarian who follows a holistic lifestyle She credits her adoption of a healthy lifestyle with saving her life. Now she wants to share this healthful living with others through her new company called "BC Edible Health" Her firm would initially start with the over 60 wild edible plants found in BC and the Pacific Northwest. These plants form part of the BC 100 mile local diet. Heather would sell these plants (products ) to customers. Details Collect the plants from BC forests clean them and sell them as is (live plants )their seeds only or dried format ready to ship anywhere in the world to individual customers, restaurants, grocers, etc. Grow some of these plants in her own two large greenhouses on her property contract greenhouses in BC to grow many of the high-volume selling plants for her open a store on Commercial Drive to showcase these plants (do cooking demonstrations ) and offer them for sale in any of the above formats conform to all BC and Federal Government health regulations Participate in wellness events, conventions, trade shows people become increasingly concerned about processed foods Heather sees a real need for her business Her main motivation is peoples health, but she does realize this operation needs to be carefully planned out in order to be at least self-sustainingWhile she realizes your consulting group may not be familiar with her products, she does respect your group's reputation for creating comprehensive operations plans what we required

Centron, a pharmaceutical company, produces an allergy relief medication called Breezia. The company claims that the population standard deviation of the duration of Breezia's allergy relief is 2.50 hours. A scientist with the FDA suspects, however, that the standard deviation of the duration of Breezia's allergy relief is greater than (less consistent than) what the company claims.

The scientist obtains a random sample of 24 adults with allergy sensitivities, measures the duration of Breezia's allergy relief for each person, and calculates the sample standard deviation to be 3.25 hours.

Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the standard deviation of the duration of Breezia's allergy relief is greater than (less consistent than) what the company claims? Use an α = 0.01 level of significance. Note: A normal probability plot and box plot indicate that the duration of allergy relief is normally distributed.

Question 1

State the null and alternative hypotheses (using symbols).

Question 2

Explain what it would mean for the scientist's study to make a Type I Error.

Question 3

Verify the requirements for this hypothesis test. Briefly show that each requirement is satisfied.

Question 4

Test the hypothesis using either the classical (test statistic) approach or the P-value approach. Show all steps to your approach. Then state whether you reject H 0 or do not reject H 0.

Question 5

Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the standard deviation of the duration of Breezia's allergy relief is greater than (less consistent than) what the company claims? State your conclusion in one or two sentences.

Please use the skills you learned in section 9.2 for this assignment. For this activity, you will be creating a confidence interval for the average number of hours of TV watched. Last semester, my MAT 152 online students asked the question, “How many hours of screen time do you have in a typical week?” Please use the data they collected to answer the following questions. Data: 21, 2, 28, 30, 18, 21, 25, 20, 25, 14, 21, 25, 50, 39, 46, 20, 35, 45, 37, 46

What is the margin of error?

Here is the full question:

lease use the skills you learned in section 9.2 for this assignment.

For this activity, you will be creating a confidence interval for the average number of hours of TV watched. Last semester, my MAT 152 online students asked the question, “How many hours of screen time do you have in a typical week?” Please use the data they collected to answer the following questions.

Data: 21, 2, 28, 30, 18, 21, 25, 20, 25, 14, 21, 25, 50, 39, 46, 20, 35, 45, 37, 46

1. Are there any outliers in this data set?
2. What calculator test (1-PropZInt, Z-Interval, or T-Interval), Excel, or StatCrunch function will you use to find the confidence interval?
3. Why do you use this test (and not one of the other 2 tests)?
4. Using a 95% confidence level, what is the confidence interval?
5. What is the point estimate for the population mean?
6. What is the margin of error?
7. Suppose you knew the standard deviation for all Americans' screen time was 4 hours. If you wanted your results to be within a margin of error of 0.25 hours, how many people would you have to survey (use a 95% confidence level)?
8. Name at least 2 ways this data could be biased and hence the confidence interval would not be a good estimate of the population mean.

Your final write-up should number (1-8) your answers to each question as well as an explanation of how you arrived at the answers. For example, please include what calculator functions or computations you are using to arrive at the confidence interval.

Please answer all questions please

1.Starting with normal and cancer intact cells as well as the preparation of the DNA microarray chip, explain in detail how the typical DNA microarray experiment will be performed in order to identify differentially expressed genes. What are the types of probes that can be used for this experiment, and how are they different? Explain how the data will be interpreted.

2.In a nutshell, describe the major advantages and disadvantages of each DNA sequencing platform

Please explain the following questions in detail:

1. The introduction of gall flies to control invasive knapweed in montana permitted an increase in the numbers of deer mice. Apart from an increase in hantavirus in the area, what other effects might this have on the local community.

2. Explain how you might set a field experiment to determine whether insect pests are affecting crop yields. Be careful to include appropriate treatments and controls.

For the following four data sets, your objective is to come up with an appropriate ARIMA model (seasonal or non-seasonal).

Sulfer dioxide series so2

Crude oil prices oil

Global temperature data gtemp

Johnson and Johnson earnings jj

Your answers should include the following components.

Plot of the data.

Box-Cox transformation if necessary, and the plot of the transformed data. Note that if a transformation is necessary, the transformed data must be used throughout.

Use appropriate techniques (if necessary) to remove trend and seasonal variations. Explain clearly what method(s) was used. Also submit the plot.

Plot of ACF and PACF. Explain clearly how you use them to determine a range of ARIMA model. Make sure to use differencing if necessary.

Using certain criterion, determine an optimal ARMA(p, q) model.

Using hypothesis testing methods, check if certain parameters of the ARMA model can be removed.

Performed diagnostic check for the model you obtained. Submit the appropriate plots. Make sure to use Box-Ljung statistics to test for white noise. If diagnostic check failed, adjust your model and start all over. Compare all possible models you considered with AIC values and p-values of the Box-Ljung statistics. Determine the final model.

Write the equation of the final model with clearly indicating the AR and MA coefficients. What is the estimate of the white noise variance? What does it tell you?

Forecast the next 20 values, and submit the plot showing the data with forecast values together with their prediction intervals. State the forecasting values with their standard errors.

1.   The CEO of the firm you work for is reading some research about the market you firm is in. He keeps coming across this concept of p-value and is perplexed by what it means. He asks you to explain it to him in a way he can understand it.. Write up an explanation of p-value and use an example that will clearly explain this concept to him.
