Analyze the heath status of a specific minority group. Select a minority group that is represented in the United States (examples include American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian American, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander).
In an essay of 750-1,000 words, compare and contrast the health status of the minority group you have selected to the national average. Consider the cultural, socioeconomic, and sociopolitical barriers to health. How do race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and education influence health for the minority group you have selected? Address the following in your essay:
1. What is the current health status of this minority group?
2. How is health prmotion defined by this group?
3. What health disparities exist for this group?
4. Describe at least one approach using the three levels of health promotion prevention (primary, secondary, and tertiary) that is likely to be the most effective given the unique needs of the minority group you have selected. Provide an explanation of why it might be the most effective choice.
Cite a minimum of three references in the paper. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA style guide.

In the North American population, the average IQ is 100. A team of scientists wants to test a new medication to see if it has either a positive or negative effect on intelligence or no effect at all. A sample of 39 participants who have taken the medication has been investigated and their IQ after treatment is noted as following:
95 90 100 110 108 105 98 105 120 115 99 100 90 118 112 110 120 120 95 100 90 110 100 105 100 90 105 103 108 112
114 100 88 95 105 103 105 107 98
1-Does the medication influence the North American population IQ? Explain and justify your answer.
The same medication is used on Scandinavian population. 20 participants have been treated and their IQs are noted.
112 114 100 88 95 105 108 105 98 105 120 115 99
100 90 112 110 120 120 90
2-Does the medication have the same effect on both samples (North American and Scandinavian) IQ? Explain and justify your answer.

| Cause | Deaths |
| Passenger car occupant (driver or rider) | 13,100 |
| Motorcycle (driver or rider) |
4,500 |
| Tornado | 553 |
| Skydiving | 56 |
Population of United States is 312 million people
a) What is the probability that an American chosen at random died as a passenger car occupant last year?
b) What is the probability that you died as a passenger car occupant last year? Make sure your answer is accurate to at least 2 significant figures (values after leading zeros)
c) Estimate the probability that you will die as a passenger car occupant next year?
d) What is the probability that an American chosen at random will die as the result of a tornado next year?
e) Estimate the probability that you will die as the result of a tornado next year?
f) Why is this answer different than the probability for an American chosen at random?
g) People sometimes claim skydiving is less dangerous than driving or riding in a car. Does the data support this claim? Explain.
h) People sometimes claim motorcycle riding is less dangerous than traveling by car. Does the data support this claim? What additional information and/or calculations would be useful to evaluate this claim?

Airbus sold an A400 aircraft to Delta Airlines, a U.S. company, and billed $30 million payable in six months. Airbus is concerned about the euro proceeds from international sales and would like to control exchange risk. The current spot exchange rate is $1.05/€ and the six-month forward exchange rate is $1.10/€. Airbus can buy a six-month put option on U.S. dollars with a strike price of €0.95/$ for a premium of €0.02 per U.S. dollar. Currently, six-month interest rate is 2.5 percent in the euro zone and 3.0 percent in the United States.
a. Compute the guaranteed euro proceeds from the American sale if Airbus decides to hedge using a forward contract.
b. If Airbus decides to hedge using money market instruments, what action does Airbus need to take? What would be the guaranteed euro proceeds from the American sale in this case?
c. If Airbus decides to hedge using put options on U.S. dollars, what would be the expected” euro proceeds from the American sale? Assume that Airbus regards the current forward exchange rate as an unbiased predictor of the future spot exchange rate.

Elderly drivers. A polling agency interviews 754 American adults and finds that 467 think licensed drivers should be required to retake their road test once they reach 65 years of age. Round all answers to 4 decimal places.
1. Calculate the point estimate for the proportion of American adults that think licensed drivers should be required to retake their road test once they reach 65 years of age.
2. Calculate the standard error for the point estimate you calculated in part 1.
3. Calculate the margin of error for a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of American adults that think licensed drivers should be required to retake their road test once they reach 65 years of age.
4. What are the lower and upper limits for the 99% confidence interval? ( , )
5. Use the information from the polling agency to determine the sample size needed to construct a 99% confidence interval with a margin of error of no more than 5%. For consistency, use the reported sample proportion for the planning value of p* (rounded to 4 decimal places) and round your Z* value to 3 decimal places. Your answer should be an integer.
