In addition, in 2015 the hospital's electronic medical record vendor informed the hospital that it would not be able to satisfy the Stage 3 interoperability and technology standards by January 2018.
2. Describe the timeline of the program and its potential financial impact on the individual healthcare providers who are involved in MU.

Step 1: State your null and alternative hypothesis
Step 2: State your critical value. What is your alpha level? Is this one-tailed or two-tailed? How many degrees of freedom?
Step 3: Compute the appropriate statistic for an obtained score
Step 4: Make your decision, should you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? What can you conclude? (3 points) Should you compute effect size? If so, do it! What do you conclude from this statistic? - Of course, you should also report the appropriate proportion of variability
Write a formal paragraph to interpret your scores.(5 points)

A car insurance company advertises that customers switching to their insurance save, on average, $435 on their yearly premiums. A market researcher at a competing insurance discounter is interested in showing that this value is an overestimate so he can provide evidence to government regulators that the company is falsely advertising their prices. He randomly samples 83 customers who recently switched to this insurance and finds an average savings of $399, with a standard deviation of $103.
(a) Are conditions for inference used in the lectures satisfied?
(b) What is your null hypothesis?
(c) What is your alternative hypothesis?
(d) Calculate the p-value for a one-sided hypothesis test.
(e) What is your conclusion if the test was conducted at the 95% level?
(f) Do you agree with the market researcher that the amount of savings advertised is an overestimate? Make sure you can explain your reasoning.
(g) Calculate a 90% confidence interval for the average amount of savings of all customers who switch their insurance.
(h) Do your results from the hypothesis test and the confidence interval agree? Make sure you can explain your reasoning.

Did Europe created the problem that sit faces today? Has European racism and xenophobia led to the ongoing terror crisis on the continent? And how should the US respond? Particularly since many experts believe that our danger from terrorism is NOT from refugees (not immigrants but refugees. Please don't forget there's a difference.) from the region though there certainly is debate (the current vetting process is extraordinarily detailed and thorough).

6. Income inequality and the poverty rate The following table summarizes the income distribution for the town of Perkopia, which has a population of 10,000 people. Every individual within an income group earns the same income, and the total annual income in the economy is $500,000,000. Suppose that in 2012, the poverty income threshold, or poverty line, is set at an annual income of $28,000 for an individual.
The data in the table suggest that there was _______(an increase/no evidence/no change in/decrease in)____ income inequality from 1994 to 2012. Complete the following table to help you determine the poverty rate in Perkopia in 2012. To do this, begin by determining the total income of all individuals in each quintile, using the fact that total annual income in the economy is $500,000,000. Next, determine the income of an individual in each quintile by dividing the total income of that quintile by the number of people in that quintile. (Hint: Recall that Perkopia has a population of 10,000 people.) Finally, determine whether the individual income for each quintile falls below the poverty income threshold, or poverty line, of $28,000.
Using the information in the previous table, the poverty rate in Perkopia in 2012 is (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 %) . Suppose that the government introduces a welfare program in which any individual with an income of less than $28,000 per year receives a lump-sum transfer payment of $4,000 from the government. Assume that, in the short run, there is no change in labor-supply behavior among the people in Perkopia. In the year 2012, the poverty rate after the introduction of the welfare program in Perkopia is (10, 20,40, 50, 60 %) Which of the following statements are correct? Check all that apply. -Frances may accept the overtime if she feels that taking it will increase the chances of her receiving a significant promotion. -Frances would gain more income by turning down the overtime than she would if she accepted the overtime. -The $4,000 in aid presents a disincentive for Frances to make more than $28,000 per year. |
