Create a PowerPoint with presenter’s notes describing your research project. A minimum of 10 slides is required, including a title and References slide. The presentation should address the following:

Describe the techniques and procedures that will be used.

State the hypothesis.

State general equipment that will be necessary and their intended use.

Describe type of data that will be collected and measurements that will be made.

Define and describe experimental units and be specific.

Define the population for generalization.

Define sampling technique and randomization, and include rationale.

Here is my topic: Any help would be great. Im not sure how to lay this out. Thank You

“Does the Cause of Death Contribute to Racial Difference in Life Expectancy between African Americans and Caucasians”.

Here are my numbers: life expectancy for white female 79.9,black female 74.7,white male 74.6,black male 67.8

Heres the link for where i got my information.

(1.)                Railroads no longer dominate the freight transportation market, but they still lead the market in terms of freight ton-miles. What factors contribute to their leadership in this area? Why is their share of the total expenditures for freight movement so small if they lead in freight ton-miles?

(3.) Explain the difference between intramodal and intermodal competition in the railroad industry. Which form of competition is most beneficial to shippers? Why?

(5.) What factors have contributed to the decline in the volume of higher- value freight by the railroads? What changes, if any, could the railroads make to attract back more higher value freight from motor carriers?

(7.) The railroad industry has developed a number of new types of equipment to replace the standard boxcar. What is the rationale supporting the diversification of equipment?

(9.) Discuss the major current issues facing the railroad industry. Select one of these major issues and present appropriate recommendations for resolving the issue.

Vertical Analysis of Income Statement

The following comparative income statement (in thousands of dollars) for the two recent fiscal years was adapted from the annual report of Motor Speedways Inc., owner and operator of several major motor speedways.

a. Prepare a comparative income statement for these two years in vertical form, stating each item as a percent of revenues. Enter all amounts as positive numbers. (Note: Due to rounding, amounts may not total 100%).

Round your percentages to one decimal place. Due to rounding differences, you will need to:

1. Calculate total expenses and other percentage by adding the expense percentages
2. Calculate the income from continuing operations percentage by deducting total expenses and other percentage from total revenue percentage.

b. While overall revenue   some between the two years, the overall mix of revenue sources did change somewhat. The NASCAR broadcasting revenue   as a percent of total revenue by 3 percentage points, while the percent of admissions revenue to total revenue   by 2 percentage points. Overall, it appears that income from continuing operations has significantly improved because of  .

The post anesthesia care area (recovery room) at St. Luke’s Hospital in Maumee, Ohio, was recently enlarged. The hope was that the change would increase the mean number of patients served per day to more than 25. A random sample of 15 days revealed the following numbers of patients.

1)   Describe the three most important classical theories within the field of International Political Economy (IPE): mercantilism, economic liberalism, and neo-Marxism.

2) Describe the relationship between politics and economics, and between states and markets.

3) What is the relationship between the haves and the have-nots on a global scale?

During the period 1990–1998 there were 46 Atlantic hurricanes, of which 20 struck the United States. During the period 1999–2006 there were 70 hurricanes, of which 46 struck the United States.

1. At α = 0.10, do the data support the hypothesis that the percentage of hurricanes that strike the United States is increasing? Follow and show the 7 steps for hypothesis testing

2. What assumption is required for this test? Show if the assumption is valid.

3. Verify with Minitab, by attaching or including the output.

Suppose you are given the following end of year stock price data for Random Inc. stock. Assume the returns are normally distributed, calculate the probability that an investor will lose more than -3% in a year, Prob(Ret<-3%). (Enter percentages as decimals and round to 4 decimals). Year Price 2005 43.65 2006 44.01 2007 45.77 2008 53.04 2009 45.67 2010 59.05 2011 46.88 2012 49.24 2013 43.99 2014 42.67 2015 48.14
