COVID-19 could be one of the largest public health incidents in human history. The last time was the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, the deadliest in human history, infected an estimated 500 million people worldwide—about one-third of the planet’s population—and killed an estimated 20 million to 50 million victims, including some 675,000 Americans. As of October 5, 2020, more than 35.3 million COVID-19 cases have been reported across 188 countries with more than 1.03 million deaths. In the U.S. more than 7 million people have been infected and more than 200,000 have died. As we go into the winter, tens of thousands of new cases are reported everyday nationwide. The head of emergencies at the World Health Organization just said the agency’s “best estimates” indicate roughly 10% of population worldwide may have already been infected by the coronavirus — more than 20 times the number of confirmed cases — and warned of a difficult period ahead.

Several years ago, Billionaire Bill Gates predicted coronavirus-like outbreak. He warned that it takes years to find a cure for a new form of virus outbreak. He gave a warning that the world wasn’t prepared for pandemics, which should “concern us all.” Speaking in 2018, Gates said he believed “the world needs to prepare for pandemics in the same serious way it prepares for war.”

Watch the 2015 Ted Talk by Bill Gates “The next outbreak? We’re not ready”. Do a small research, and discuss the following real global health questions in this forum, Gates said “history has taught us there will be another deadly global pandemic” but why we are still so ill-prepared for a pandemic like COVID-19? How do we exactly "flatten the curve" in the coming cold season? How should we prepare for a possible pandemic in the future?

2. What percent of the employees cost Anderson between $1,500 and $2,000 per year for dental insurance?
3. What percent of the employees did Anderson have to pay more than $1,000 for dental insurance?

As a Human Resources manager for a mid-sized company in your area, you have been tasked with purchasing the best group health insurance for your organization. Analyze at least two (2) lifestyle choices relative to the effect(s) that these choices could have on the organization’s premiums. Support your rationale with two (2) health economic examples. Debate It: Take a position that the full implementation of the Affordable Care Act in 2014 will or will not create a market failure for insurance companies. Provide evidence to support your position.

The human body maintains its internal temperature through thermoregulation, and a healthy adult has a mean body temperature of 98.6 °F. The processes of thermoregulation begin to deteriorate in older age, making it difficult to diagnose elderly patients who might have an illness. To understand the body temperature of elderly patients, researchers randomly sampled the body temperatures of elderly patients from a large database of medical records where the body temperatures were normally distributed.

Conduct a two‑tailed, one‑sample ?t‑test to determine whether the mean body temperature of the elderly patients is different from that of a healthy adult using the sample data below (in degrees Farenheit). Use a significance level of ?=0.05α=0.05. If the requirements for a ?t‑test have not been met, only answer the first question. Otherwise, answer all eight questions.

96.6,96.7,96.8,97.4,97.4,97.8,97.8,98.2,98.4,98.996.6,96.7,96.8,97.4,97.4,97.8,97.8,98.2,98.4,98.9

Are the requirements for the one-sample ?t‑test met? Why or why not?

If the requirements have not been met, do not continue. Otherwise, select the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.

Calculate the one‑sample ?t‑statistic to two decimal places and the resulting ?p‑value of the test to three decimal places. You may calculate ?t by hand if you wish, but you will need software to compute the ?p‑value. Click on this link to load the given data set into the statistical software CrunchIt.

Problem Set 1: A human resources manager at a company knows that the employee population is 30% female/70% male. He wants to know if this same proportion holds for the number of disciplinary “write-ups” in employee files. His company’s data for disciplinary write-ups of all 75 employees are provided in the table below. Hint: Review Week 4.

1. Paste appropriate SPSS output. (2 pts)

2. Paste appropriate SPSS graph. (2 pts)

3. Write an APA-style Results section based on your analysis. All homework “Results sections” should follow the examples provided in the presentations and textbooks. They should include the statistical statement within a complete sentence that mentions the type of test conducted, whether the test was significant, and if relevant, effect size and/or post hoc analyses. Don’t forget to include a decision about the null hypothesis. (4 pts)

MRI Magnetic Resonance Imaging takes exquisite images of the brain and other parts of human body. The magnetic field B is generated by a solenoid of length 3 feet and diameter of 3 feet. The B field generated is one (1) T. The largest current the wire can carry is 100 A.

a) How many turns of solenoid is needed? Eq. (29.17)

b) Find the total length of solenoid wire in miles. A proton (hydrogen nucleus) has nuclear magnetic moment μ = 8.8e-8 eV/T. It has two energy states ± μ∙B. Transitions between the two energy states give radiation detected by radiofrequency detector. For a 1-T magnetic field, find the:

c) energy difference in neV (e-9 eV) between the two states.

d) frequency of this signal. (This is well known in MRI.) Eq. (38.4)

Many human diseases are genetically transmitted (for example, hemophilia or Tay-Sachs disease). Here is a simple model for such a disease. The genotype aa is diseased and dies before it mates. The genotype Aa is a carrier but is not diseased. The genotype AA is not a carrier and is not diseased.

a. If two carriers mate, what are the probabilities that their offspring are of each of the three genotypes?

b. If the male offspring of two carriers is not diseased, what is the probability that he is a carrier?

c. Suppose that the non-diseased off spring of part (b) mates with a member of the population for whom no family history is available and who is thus assumed to have probability p of being a carrier ( p is a very small number). What are the probabilities that their first offspring has the genotypes AA, Aa, and aa?

d. Suppose that the first offspring of part (c) is not diseased. What is the probability that the father is a carrier in light of this evidence?
