1. In Monopoly, your token is allowed to leave the “jail” cell if you roll doubles: you roll two 6-sided dice and each shows the same face. Zach hates being in jail, because it reminds him of watching “The Wire” on TV. So he invents a couple of weighted dice that are not independent. In particular, if you roll either die on its own it’s a fair die: each outcome has probability 1/6. But if you roll one die and then the other, the red die will take the same outcome as the blue die exactly half the time: all other outcomes are equally likely.

   (a) Suppose you roll a 3 on the blue die. What is the probability distribution of the red die given this outcome on the blue die?

(b) Find the full probability distribution for the value of the sum of the two faces of the dice. (c) What is the probability you roll doubles?

(c) What is the probability you roll doubles?

(d) What is the probability that you roll a 7 as the sum of the two dice?

Which conflict does Wilson use most to drive (bring forth, move forward) all the other elements of the story? Choose ONE that you feel is more apparent and easier to defend than the others. o Troy vs Society o Troy vs Himself o Troy vs Family o Troy vs Death Instructions (how to get it done): • You have completed research on August Wilson, his life, and his plays. • You have completed reading/viewing Fences by August Wilson. • You have read the resources on Conflict in this unit. • Choose the conflict area that you think will have the strongest text support. • Create a thesis statement that clearly states your stance on why this conflict is the driving force of the play and how you’re going to prove it (see “Helpful Hints” section below). • Research needed sources so that you have at least 3 outside sources that are valid and reliable. • Be sure also to include text examples from the Fences, the play. • Defend your thesis in an introduction, at least three supporting sections, and a conclusion.

Chapter 10 Real-World Case Assignment

The patient-centered medical home (PCMH) is a model of VBP and P4P systems. As stated in the textbook, PCMH initiatives are often organized by health plans, states, payers, providers, or multi-stakeholder groups. PCMHs are being widely implemented with a four-fold increase in the number of PCMH initiatives between 2009 and 2013 (Edwards et al. 2014, 1829). This trend is expected to continue because the PCMH model of care is endorsed by federal and state health agencies.

This Real-World Case focuses on the organization of PCMHs by states. Many states have adopted policies and programs to advance PCMHs. Go to the website of the National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) to learn about PCMHs in the states:

Questions and Application Activity

1. Click on the Medical Home tab, then click on “About medical homes”, look over the map. How many states have Multi-Payer programs?

2. Click on the link in the above paragraph titled “Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative”, change from State View to List View, enter Oregon in the State field and choose Multi-Payer in the Payer Type field, click “Apply”. Multi-payer medical homes, PCMH initiatives may involve patients that have multiple, different insurance companies and public payers; such as federal Blue Cross Blue Shield, TRICARE, Medicaid, and other payers; and multiple providers. These multi-stakeholder groups may develop payment methods through collaborative processes. Click on “Oregon Comprehensive Primary Care Initiative” and give the Number of Practices, a list of payers and what is the payment model?

3. Click on the “About health homes” on the home page, then click on the CMS website link and click on the link “Map of State Health Home Activity” . Section 2703 of the Affordable Care Act gives state Medicaid programs the option of establishing health homes. Health homes provide a comprehensive system of care coordination for Medicaid beneficiaries with chronic conditions. In health homes, providers treat the “whole-person” across the lifespan by integrating and coordinating all primary care, acute inpatient care, behavioral health, and long-term services and supports. Review the map on the CMS website and answer the following; How many states have approved Medicaid Health Home plans and Does Oregon have any Medicaid Health Home plans?

4. Now go to the following website - http://www.oregon.gov/oha/HPA/CSI-PCPCH/Pages/Standards.aspx, find the article titled; National Committee for Quality Assurance and Oregon PCPCH Recognition. As an example of national standards, the National Commission for Quality Assurance (NCQA) has standards for PCMHs (2014). The standards are in the areas of patient-centered access, team-based care, population health management, care management and support, care coordination and care transitions, and performance measurement and quality improvement. Is the NCQA model identical to the Oregon model and will Oregon accept the NCQA recognition?

5. On the Oregon Health Authority site click on the tab for Payment Incentives. Read “Primary Care Payment Reform Collaborative”, What is the objective of the Collaborative?

Click on the Recognized Clinics tab and name 2 Patient Centered Primary Care Homes (PCPCH) practices in Eugene or Springfield.

Effects, Politics, and Regulatory Control of Tobacco Use Tobacco use is the primary cause of mortality in the United States today. Tobacco use is responsible for cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and heart disease and has caused the deaths of nearly half a million people per year. Tobacco control, prevention, and treatment are compelling and urgent public health issues.

The development of tobacco control laws have been passed by a number of states. Write a comprehensive overview of the health effects, politics, and regulatory control of tobacco use control efforts. Your paper should be based on the following points:

What are the factors (biological, environmental, economic, and political) that contribute to tobacco addiction?

What are the medical consequences (morbidity and mortality) for tobacco users?

What is the public health impact (epidemiological and economic) of tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure?

How do tobacco control regulations relate to positive and normative economics?

How do tobacco control regulations impact individual health care What is the public health policy regarding tobacco control?

What is the role of the state and Federal Government in policy making? What is the history of regulatory tobacco control?

What is the current state of tobacco control in the United States (states that have passed tobacco control regulations)?

What is the evidence that tobacco control is effective?

Based on your understanding, create a 6- to 7-page Microsoft Word document that includes the answers to the above questions. You need a minimum of five scholarly sources that should be in APA format for both in-text citations and citations on the reference page. This assignment requires a title page, an abstract, an introduction, a body, a conclusion, and a reference page.

1. Environmentalists who were worried about the presence of barnacles along the Pacific Coast wanted to see whether Oregon had more barnacles than California. They randomly selected 7 locations in California and 6 locations in Oregon. Working at the edge of the water in each location, they put down frames that covered 0.25 square meters and counted the barnacles inside the frame. Their results are summarized in the table below.

a. (2 points) What degrees of freedom would you use in the two-sample hypothesis test to compare Oregon and California? Why?

b. What is the test statistic for comparing the mean densities of barnacles in Oregon and California? Show your work.

c. The environmental scientists who conducted this study published a report which concluded that “the average number of barnacles per 0.25 m2 was statistically significantly higher in Oregon than in California, with α = 0.001.” Do your results agree with their published report?
