  1. The researcher changes the exam, slightly, every few years. Therefore, the researcher prefers to measure exam performance in an ordered fashion. He notes the highest score as 1st, the second highest score as 2nd, and so on for all 50 students.

    Is exam performance in this study a continuous or discrete measurement?
    Is exam performance a nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio measurement? Why?

You get a phone call that changes your life: your child or a relative's child has in a car accident. He has been taken to the hospital, but is unable to move his legs. Many times, having as much knowledge as possible on a medical topic better prepared you to talk to medical professionals. This is we will dig deeper into learning about our body systems. this discussion i will explore spinal cord injuries and their prognoses. You will need to conduct research and document evidence.

1. Describe the process of nerve healing in peripheral nerves and the difference between central and peripheral nerves.
2. Explain how the nervous system grows with us and how that supports it's function.
3. Suggest a reason why most neurons are amitotic.
4. Explain why neurons very rarely become cancerous.
5. Express how the symptoms mentioned in the letter demonstrate the connection between anatomy and physiology, based on injury location.
6. Provide insight into new research, perhaps with stem cells, and describe why specific new research may , or may not , be the answer to cure these injuries.
7. Discuss why medical professional should never guarantee an outcome with a nervous tissue injury.

1. The standard recommendation for automobile oil changes is once every 5000 miles. A local mechanic is interested in determining whether people who drive more expensive cars are more likely to follow the recommendation. Independent random samples of 45 customers who drive luxury cars and 40 customers who drive compact lower-price cars were selected. The average distance driven between oil changes was 5187 miles for the luxury car owners and 5389 miles for the compact lower-price car owners. The sample standard deviations were 424 and 507 miles for the luxury and compact groups, respectively. Assume that the two population distributions of the distances between oil changes have the same standard deviation. You would like to test if the mean distance between oil changes is less for all luxury cars than that for all compact lower-price cars.

Let μ1 denote the mean distance between oil changes for luxury cars, and μ2 denote the mean distance between oil changes for compact lower-price cars. Calculate the appropriate statistic for this test. Round your intermediate calculations (all standard deviations) as well as your final answer to the nearest hundredth.

2. A local college cafeteria has a self-service soft ice cream machine. The cafeteria provides bowls that can hold up to 16 ounces of ice cream. The food service manager is interested in comparing the average amount of ice cream dispensed by male students to the average amount dispensed by female students. A measurement device was placed on the ice cream machine to determine the amounts dispensed. Random samples of 85 male and 78 female students who got ice cream were selected. The sample averages were 7.23 and 6.49 ounces for the male and female students, respectively. Assume that the population standard deviations are 1.22 and 1.17 ounces, respectively. You would like to test whether the average amount of ice cream dispensed by all make college students is different from the average amount dispensed by all female college students.

a. Let μ1 denote the average amount of ice cream dispensed by all male college students, and μ2 denote the average amount of ice cream dispensed by all female college students. Calculate an appropriate test statistic for this case. Round your intermediate calculations to the nearest ten thousandth and round your final answer to the nearest hundredth.

b. Let μ1 denote the average amount of ice cream dispensed by all male college students, and μ2 denote the average amount of ice cream dispensed by all female college students. Suppose the test statistic associated to this test is 3.95. Calculate the p-value. Round your answer to the nearest ten thousandth (e.g., 0.1234).

How can prices change constantly in an efficient market?

A. New information changes expected and/or required returns requiring traders to buy or sell

B. Traders receive information at different times so their trades cause prices to fluctuate

C. In an efficient market there are enough traders that everyone has a different idea of what the correct price is, so the price is always moving

D. Prices can't change constantly if a market is efficient

Q1-Recognize how changes in supply and demand affect market outcomes and explain the effect of government regulation on prices?

- Use your own words and be sure to support your statements with logic and arguments. Post your comments.


Q2- Also, there are two answers for a student that requires a response:

1- Changes in the supply and demand can affect market outcomes because the supply and demand forces determined the market equilibrium price and quantity. For a particular product or a service the demand function is downward sloping and the supply function is upward sloping. Their interaction determine the equilibrium in the market at which the quantity supplied is equal to the quantity demanded. Changes in supply and demand basically indicate a shift in the supply curve and / or the demand curve. Suppose that the supply curve is unchanged but the demand curve shifts. If the demand is increased and the demand curve is a shifted out both the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity will increase. In contrast if it is decreased then both equilibrium price and quantity will decrease. As against if the demand is fixed but the supply is shifted to the right, price level decreases and the quantity increases. In contrast if the supply curve is shifted to the left then the price level increases and the quantity decreases. In this manner changes in the supply and demand can affect the market equilibrium price and quantity
Government regulation on price comes in the form of price floor in which a minimum limit is imposed on the market price and price ceiling in which a maximum limit is imposed on the market price. In case of a price floor the market experiences a surplus of production while in case of a price ceiling in the market experiences a shortage.

2- There is a relationship between supply and demand

The increase in the offered commodity with constant price leads to a decrease in the equilibrium price and an increase in the quantity

As for the decrease in the commodity offered with the stability of demand, it leads to an increase in the equilibrium price and a decrease in the quantity. The increase in demand with the stability of the commodity offered leads to an increase in the equilibrium price

As for government regulation of prices, it is useful and returns to seeing the interest of the consumer without neglecting the interest of the owner of the product, but in order for some to not exploit the consumer and make him pay a large amount that the offered commodity is not worth.

In order for some not to drop the price of the product madly in order to attract the buyer, which harms other merchants who offer the same product
