Did you drive to work or school today? When you are driving at a constant speed, the amount of gas left in the tank can typically be modeled by a linear equation. The equation y = -2x + 15 would represent a car that has a full 15-gallon tank and burns 2 gallons of gas an hour when x is the number of hours driven and y is the amount of gas in the tank. Find a linear relationship (equation) that you would use or rely on in your field when you receive your degree, and explain what it is and how it is used. Identify the initial condition, such as the full tank of gas above, and the rate of change. For a linear equation, the rate of change (slope) needs to be constant. If you can’t find one in your field, broaden your research to include any real-world application.

For the past two years, Minsu, a Korean American, worked as a high school physical education teacher. He was also a body-builder and a part-time graduate student in educational technology at State University. As part of preparing a masters thesis, Minsu decided to participate in Arnold’s World Body-building training program and analyze advanced technology used to help students absorb physical education. Arnold’s training program had a regular faculty, curriculum, an enrolled body of students, and advanced technology in its gym equipment. Minsu earned $4,000 during the fall 20X5 as a body-builder; he came in second in the state contest. Minsu paid $5,000 in spring 20X5 for tuition related to his masters degree at State University for one class on advanced computer technology and another $3,000 to participate in the gym. How much can Minsu deduct? Minsu knows about relevant educational tax credits and wants you to focus just on the deductions.

1. The science class was studying genetics at school and Arya came home in tears. She told her older sister, “We were doing our family tree and when I filled in our traits, I discovered that Mom and Dad can’t be my real parents ’cause the traits don’t match!” It turns out that Mom and Dad can roll their tongues but Arya can’t. Could Mom and Dad still be Arya’s parents?
2. Tyrion has smoked cigarettes for years and is having breathing difficulties. He has been diagnosed with emphysema. Describe specific kinds of structural changes you would expect to observe in Tyrion’s respiratory system. How are air flow and gas exchange affected by these structural changes?
3. Sansa was diagnosed with exercise-induced asthma after she reported trouble catching her breath during a swim meet. Exercise-induced asthma is a particularly annoying condition for an athlete because the body’s response to exercise is the exact opposite of the body’s need. Explain this statement.

The weekly time spent​ (in hours) on homework for 18 randomly selected high school students is given below. Use technology to construct​ 90%, 95%, and​ 99% confidence intervals for the population mean. Interpret the results and compare the widths of the confidence intervals. Assume the weekly time spent on homework is normally distributed. 13.113.1 12.112.1 14.714.7 15.215.2 8.68.6 10.710.7 11.811.8 8.58.5 9.99.9 9.69.6 11.111.1 11.911.9 15.915.9 11.911.9 12.212.2 11.511.5 13.513.5 12.212.2 The lower limit of the​ 90% confidence interval is 11.0611.06​, and the upper limit is 12.7612.76. ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)

You have just been accepted to nursing school. As a requirement, you have to have a tuberculosis (TB) test as well as a hepatitis B recombinant vaccine. The nurse who administers the TB skin test explains that if significant swelling occurs around the injection site, you will need to have chest x-rays to determine if you are infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. On the morning of the second day after the skin test, you awake to find your arm red and swollen in an area about the size of a quarter around the site of the test. It is also tender to the touch. Now you are really worried. Could you have TB?

1. Why does the reaction to the skin test take 36-48 hours to show up? Explain.

2. If you have a tuberculosis infection, why doesn’t the whole body, or at least the respiratory tract, react when the antigen is injected during this diagnostic test? After doing a chest x-ray, your doctor says the results are inconclusive. So, you are put on a six-month course of isoniazid to be safe. About six months later, while sitting in your medical microbiology class during a lecture on tuberculosis, you suddenly realize why you had that positive reaction to the skin test six months earlier. It had nothing to do with being infected, but was because you were born in Norway and your family moved to the United States when you were four years old.

3. What is going on here? Discuss in detail.

4. A while later, you told a friend of yours who is HIV-positive about your TB scare. She said that her doctor doesn't typically use the TB skin test on her, even though people with HIV are more susceptible to TB. Why is the skin test not always a reliable TB test for those with HIV?

Richard is a retired solicitor. His wife Tracy is a retired school teacher. Both wish to remain active and they invest in a gift shop that is to be managed by their daughter Alice, who is aged 35. They form a partnership of three called “Alice's Gift Shop”. Richard and Tracy contributed $40,000 each to fund the purchase of the shop. The partnership agreement provides: • Both Richard and Tracy are to receive interest at the rate of 10% p.a. on their capital contribution of $40,000. • Alice will receive a salary of $25,000 for the management of the shop, as well as superannuation contributions of $6,000. • A car will be leased by the business and provided to Alice. • All profits and losses are to be shared equally between the three partners. The accounts for this income year show the following: Income ($) Sales (excluding GST) 240,000 Expenses ($) Cost of goods sold 130,000 Interest on capital paid to Richard and Tracy 8,000 Salary to Alice 25,000 Superannuation to Alice 6,000 Lease payments on car (excluding GST) 7,000 Other deductible operating expenses (excluding GST) 14,000 The leased car was used 80% of the time for business and 20% of the time for private purposes.

Balancing School and Life - My Quality of Life Self-Care Plan. The purpose of developing this Plan is to set a framework and a plan to maintain wellness and to stay motivated and engaged throughout your Program. Doing this will help you achieve success during your coursework and as a professional nurse.

The goal of the Project is to help you become self-aware and reflective as a means of identifying personal self-care strategies that will increase your energy and help you manage your stress. The Project will give you a chance to learn how this is accomplished as you will be doing similar work with clients during the Program and as a professional nurse to assist them in the same way.

Use the Quality of Life Self-Care Wheel to assess your current state. After you determine your scores, in a 2-3 page paper complete the following:

• Discuss those areas that are strengths (higher scores) and those areas that need further development (lower scores).
• Identify two strategies you can use to maintain or maximize each identified strength.
• Identify two strategies you can use to strengthen each area needing development. Explain how you will put these strategies into action. Be specific. For example, instead of stating, "I need to exercise," your action should state "I will begin to walk 20 minutes a day, 3 days a week." The action should be SMART- Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timeframe
• Also attach your completed form
• Minimum length 2-3 pages not including cover or referencing. APA formatting

1. You are in charge of optimizing cell phone service for T-mobile at school because it drops calls all the time. You need to add the capacity for 10,000 more calls and 100,000 more text messages per day. You can buy Megacells that can handle 800 calls and 2000 texts a day for $1000 each, and super cells that can handle 200 calls and 30,000 texts for $ 650 each, and basic cells that can handle 100 calls and 100 texts for $125. how many of each should you buy to minimize the cost of this upgrade?

Many high school students take the AP tests in different subject areas. In 2007, of the 144,796 students who took the biology test 84,199 of them were female. In that same year, of the 211,693 students who took the calculus AB test 102,598 of them were female. Is there enough evidence to show that the proportion of female students taking the biology test is higher than the proportion of female students taking the calculus AB test? Test at the 5% level.
