Private businesses have a great interest in quality primary and secondary education because today’s students are tomorrow’s employees. However, private businesses make limited financial contributions to this sector of education (excluding the taxes they pay to public school systems), even to market-oriented programs like vouchers and charter schools.

(1) What do you suppose explains this low contribution level?

(2) The limited contribution from the private sector may not be the only reason for governmental provision of primary and secondary education; what are the other reasons?

(3) The federal government plays a limited role in this area while the local (and increasingly the state) governments are the primary funders of these services. What are the justifications for this division of responsibilities?

EXERCISE 13.4

An 18-year-old student donated for the first time at a blood drive at his high school.

  1. Concerned that he may have contracted HIV before the donation, what instructions should he follow to prevent his unit from being transfused?
  2. Why are questions regarding HIV important even when tests are performed to detect the virus?

EXERCISE 14.5

Previous testing on a donor’s computer record indicates CMV antibody–negative. The most recent donation demonstrates that antibodies are currently present.

1. Can the donor still donate?

2. Why has the CMV antibody test result changed?

3. What patients require the transfusion of CMV-reduced-risk blood products?

4. What alternatives exist in the provision of CMV antibody–negative blood?

Barb and Barney are married and file a joint return. They have two children, Lulu and Zoe, that live at home and whom they fully support. Lulu is 9 and Zoe is 13 years old. In order for Barb and Barney to both work, they pay care providers to take care of Lulu and Zoe after school. The total care cost for the year were: Lulu $4,800, and Zoe $3,800. During the year Barb earned salary of $24,500 and Barney earned salary of $25,000 and they each made a deductible $5,000 contribution to a traditional spousal IRA. Neither Barb nor Barney are covered by qualified plans at work. Calculate the dollar amount of Barb and Barney’s tax credit for child and dependent care expenses. Show your work including all calculations.

Hand volume can be determined by measuring the amount of water displaced in a beaker after the hand is dipped in it. A student read a report that the median hand-volume of college-age males is 400ml. To test whether this is true at her school, she convinced 12 of her male friends to dip their hands in a beaker of water. Her measurements (in ml) are below:

400 360 420 520 460   350 500 420 450 430 395 400

  1. Report the null and alternate hypotheses for a sign test
  2. Report the number of positive and negative signs (remember this is based on a hypothesized median volume of 400 ml)
  3. Report the P value and test statistic, do you accept or reject the null hypothesis?
  4. Use a signed-rank test to re-run the analysis above.

Choose one answer.

a. 0.333
b. 0.5714
c. 0.667
