Expansionary Fiscal Policy relies on changes in tax collections and government spending to achieve a non-inflationary level of employment. Given this definition what actions and projected consequences did President Obama enact to realize this goal. Include in your discussion economic conditions that existed prior to the 2008 election, i.e. the mortgage/real estate crisis, employment & unemployment, provisions President Obama used to offset the economic conditions, projected benefits vs projected detriments to the economy. Be sure to include your conclusion on whether you believe that President Obama was correct or not. Can you please answer this question specifically? Thank you

Discuss at least 3 symptoms caused by physiologic changes and consequences of hypertension. Discuss how pharmaceutical treatments are designed to alleviate those symptoms. What are the risks and benefits of these treatments? What are the potential drug interactions with these medications? What added therapy would you consider if the patient's hypertension were complicated by heart failure? What therapies would you avoid? What patient education is needed in terms of compliance and expectations of medications prescribed

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 found that changes in an index fund occur within weeks of specific macroeconomic announcements (i.e. good news are followed by a slow increase in the fund’s price, while bad news are followed by slow decreases in price). Is this market efficient? What forms of market efficiency are violated?

| The following changes took place last year in Pavolik Company’s balance sheet accounts: |
| Asset and Contra-Asset Accounts | Liabilities and Equity Accounts | ||||||
| Cash | $ | 30 | D | Accounts payable | $ | 92 | I |
| Accounts receivable | $ | 34 | I | Accrued liabilities | $ | 34 | D |
| Inventory | $ | 78 | D | Income taxes payable | $ | 39 | I |
| Prepaid expenses | $ | 29 | I | Bonds payable | $ | 284 | I |
| Long-term investments | $ | 31 | D | Common stock | $ | 136 | D |
| Property, plant, and equipment | $ | 545 | I | Retained earnings | $ | 112 | I |
| Accumulated depreciation | $ | 112 | I | ||||
| D = Decrease; I = Increase. |
|
Long-term investments that had cost the company $31 were sold during the year for $66, and land that had cost $65 was sold for $34. In addition, the company declared and paid $28 in cash dividends during the year. Besides the sale of land, no other sales or retirements of plant and equipment took place during the year. Pavolik did not retire any bonds during the year or issue any new common stock. |
| The company’s income statement for the year follows: |
| Sales | $ | 1,320 | ||
| Cost of goods sold | 586 | |||
| Gross margin | 734 | |||
| Selling and administrative expenses | 520 | |||
| Net operating income | 214 | |||
| Nonoperating items: | ||||
| Loss on sale of land | $ | (31) | ||
| Gain on sale of investment | 35 | 4 | ||
| Income before taxes | 218 | |||
| Income taxes | 78 | |||
| Net income | $ | 140 | ||
| The company’s beginning cash balance was $148 and its ending balance was $118. |
| Required: |
| 1. |
Using the indirect method, determine the net cash provided by / used in operating activities for the year. (List any deduction in cash and cash outflows as negative amounts.) |
| 2. |
Prepare a statement of cash flows for the year. (List any deduction in cash and cash outflows as negative amounts.) |

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).
