§ How do these characteristics compare with popular child characteristics you read about in your text?

o    Describe the unpopular child. Make sure you consider the characteristics that contributed to this child's unpopular status.

§ How do this child's characteristics compare with unpopular child characteristics you read about in your text?

Choose the most appropriate type of hypothesis testing for each of the followings.

(a) You want to compare annual salary means of employees from five different companies and see whether they are equal.

(b) You want to examine 20 families data and compare daughter's height and mother's height. You want to check whether they are different.

choose from one sample z test, one sample t test, pooled t test, paired t-test, anova

(c) A sample of 18 senior marketing majors, which is one of the business majors, shows a mean cumulative GPA of 3.4 with a standard deviation of 0.25. You want to check whether the cumulative GPA of marketing majored seniors is significantly different from 3.25, which is the mean GPA for all business school seniors.

Review the following scenario and address questions:

For years, Victoria has been torn between the desire to practice nursing in the vibrant, metropolitan city, or in her peaceful, mountainous hometown in the country with her family. She wonders how the two experiences differ. How do the demands differ? How does the technology differ? To learn more about these differences, she explores a variety of education scenarios, including computer-based virtual reality, simulations, and real-life scenarios in both urban and rural settings.

How do you think the demands and technologies differ?

How can virtual reality, simulations, and real-life scenarios be designed to provide optimal education for nursing students?

How might they be integrated into the nursing school curriculum to increase patient, practitioner, and hospital safety?

For this discussion you will be divided into two discussion groups. Group A will review the Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital Study. Group B will review the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. There are many high quality resources on the web that address both of these topics - please make sure that you are reviewing high-quality, scholarly sources, such as your textbook, sources from the school library, .gov, or .edu sources. If you have a question regarding what a scholarly source is, please refer to the resources located on our Nursing Library and Learning website For your initial post, you will review the assigned study and answer the following questions: Give an overview of the study. Discuss how at least 3 of the 6 rights/guidelines listed in the ANA Guidelines for Protecting the Rights of Human Subjects were either upheld or not upheld.

4. To illustrate the effects of driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol, a police officer brought a DUI simulator to a local high school. Student reaction time in an emergency was measured with unimpaired vision and also while wearing a pair of special goggles to simulate the effects of alcohol on vision. For a random sample of nine teenagers, the time (in seconds) required to bring the vehicle to a stop from a speed of 60 miles per hour was recorded.

Test the claim that there is a no difference in braking time with impaired vision and normal vision at the 0.05 level of significance

(a) Farmer Sherry can grow wheat and barley. She can grow 75 bushels of wheat
or 125 bushels of barley on a hectare of her land for the same cost. The price of wheat is $2 per bushel
and the price of barley is $0.80 per kilogram. Show the benefits to Sherry of specialization. What should
she specialize in? Why ? (2)
(b) You work at your school, making $15 per hour. Yesterday, you decided to cancel your two-
hour tutoring appointment in order to meet friends for a coffee. The coffee cost you $3.50. What was the
opportunity cost of this decision in dollars? Explain your solution! (2)
(c) Give two examples of each of the following: (4)
(i) Positive economic statement, (ii) Normative statement (iii) Micro Economics (iv) Macro Economics

Indicate whether the following research sampling methods are convenience samples or random samples: I select 150 students from my local university for a study on stress among college students. I randomly assign 25 persons from my place of work to a control group and 25 to an experimental group for a study on workplace satisfaction. Using a random number generator, I select a minimum sample size study population of male U.S. citizens with a passport from a passport database obtained from the U.S. State Department. I survey all certified public high school teachers in the city of Chicago, Illinois. I administer a rapid HIV antibody test to the first 50 consenting adults older than age 18 who stop by my booth at the health fair.

Rebecca has built a very profitable business, and she credits the entrepreneurship program at her alma mater for a lot of her success. She would like to donate money to her old school to help one worthy graduate each year establish his or her own business. She will donate the money today, with the understanding that the first award will go to a graduate of this yearʹs junior class. (That is, the first award will be made two years from now.) Her alma mater is able to invest the funds at a constant, annual, tax -free rate of 5%. How much must her donation need be if she would like for the annual award to be $150000 a year and wants the program to continue forever, even after she is no longer around? Round up your answer to the nearest thousand dollar.

The table below gives the pretest and posttest scores on the listening test in Spanish for 20 high school Spanish teachers who attended an intensive summer course in Spanish

Pretest 30 28 31 26 20 30 34 15 28 20 30 29 31 29 34 20 26 25 31 29

Posttest 29 30 32 30 16 25 31 18 33 25 32 28 34 32 32 27 28 29 32 32

a. At 5% significance level, test the hypothesis that attending an intensive summer course improves listening skills in Spanish.

b. Find a 90% confidence interval for the mean increase in listening score due to attending an intensive summer course in Spanish.
