What were your feelings about Amazon (HQ2) coming to New York? How do you feel about the current withdrawal of this offer? Could anything have been done differently that might have saved this deal? Explain fully.

The Nurse-Client Relationship

In this discussion, we'll talk about the nurse-client relationship and the use of therapeutic communication as an important part of that relationship. Please answer the following questions:

What are your concerns or fears about mental health nursing in general? Are you interested in mental health nursing, or do you approach the topic with some anxiety?

What do you feel are essential aspects of a good nurse-client relationship?

Please include an example of how you established good rapport and a good professional relationship with a patient in the work or clinical setting. What nonverbal and verbal techniques did you use in this relationship?

Enzyme A is required to produce red pigment on the abdomen of a bird. A biochemist evaluated birds with red and pale (not red) abdomens and determined that a minimum of 50 units of Enzyme A is necessary to obtain red pigmentation. A new mutation in the gene that produces Enzyme A, results in only 10 units of Enzyme A in birds homozygous for the mutation. The mutation would be best considered as"

A: suppressor

B: null

C: co-dominant

D: gain of function

E: leaky

Experiment 3: Quantitatively Determine the Food Dyes in an Orange Drink Mix

Prepare an standard 8 ounce serving of orange drink as follows: Placed a 250 mL beaker on the workbench & added 235mL water to it.

Added 5.0g of orange drink powder to the beaker.

Placed a cuvette on the workbench & added 1mL of the orange drink from the beaker to it; then added 9mL of water to it.

Set the spectrophotometer to Vis and the wavelength to the lambda max value for Yellow 5 dye. Placed in spectrophotometer, readings were:

Lambda max - Wavelength = 440     absorbance = 0.37

Set the spectrophotometer to Vis and the wavelength to the lambda max value for Red 40 dye. Placed in spectrophotometer, readings were:

Lambda max - Wavelength = 500     absorbance = 0.25

Given that the molar mass of the Yellow 5 dye is equal to 534.36 g/mol, how many grams of Yellow 5 food dye were in the 0.235 L solution of drink mix? Remember that you diluted your original solution tenfold before measuring its absorbance. Choose the closest answer.

A.0.018 g

B.0.0050 g

C.0.0075 g

D.0.0018 g

Given that the molar mass of the Red 40 dye is equal to 496.42 g/mol, how many grams of Red 40 food dye were in the 0.235 L solution of drink mix? Remember that you diluted your original solution tenfold before measuring its absorbance. Choose the closest answer.

A.0.085 g

B.0.0045 g

C.0.0011 g

D.0.011 g

What is the mass percent of the Yellow 5 food dye in the orange powder? % mass = (mass of dye / mass of powder) x 100

A.0.36%

B.0.036%

C.12%

D.2.2%

What is the mass percent of the Red 40 food dye in the orange powder? % mass = (mass of dye / mass of powder) x 100  

A.1.8%

B.0.061%

C.0.022%

D.0.22%

Spongebob Squarepants is making plans to buy a new home, and since he doesn't have enough money saved he has to take out a mortgage. For things in life, he ends up visiting the bank where you work and asking about mortgage loans.

a. What suits him best, asking for a 15-year or 30-year loan? Explain an advantage and a disadvantage of taking out a 30-year loan.

b. Does Spongebob have a suitable profile to obtain a mortgage loan? (If you don't know anything about him, what information do you need to answer that question?). Justify your answer.

c. Which suits him best, a fixed-rate loan, or a balloon-adjustable or adjustable-rate loan? Justify your answer.

d. What is mortgage-backed security?

e. If we give Spongebob a home loan, could that loan be used in a mortgage-backed securities issue? Does it have to be FHA insured or is it not required? Explain your answer

For PART B USE A TI 84 AND LIST THE STEPS THAT YOU DID! THANK YOU

Researchers want to determine whether all bags of Skittles® have the same proportion of colors regardless of the flavor of Skittles®. To test this, they randomly sampled king-size bags of each flavor and recorded their findings in the table.

Part A: What are the correct degrees of freedom for this table? (2 points)

Part B: Calculate the expected count for the number of blue tropical Skittles®. Show your work. (3 points)

Part C: Is there sufficient evidence that there is a difference in the proportion of colors for the different flavors of Skittles®? Provide a statistical justification for your conclusion. (5 points)

Biology 2.3.2

Question 2: Speciation

A booby is a type of seabird that lives in warm coastal environments. Boobies hunt ocean fish and make nests on shore. The booby has the unusual characteristic that its feet are bright blue, while the rest of its body is gray and black.

Suppose a population of boobies becomes separated after a flood creates a major water barrier across the island. One group is very large (N = 1000) while the other group is very small (N = 25). The conditions on the two islands are quite different including the presence of many more predators on the island with the larger population. Neither predators nor boobies can move between the islands.

a) Describe the necessary factors for speciation to occur within the booby population. Explain how the researchers would know that speciation did occur.

b) Describe the mechanism that would drive speciation in the big population. Explain how the mechanism would function differently in the small population.

c) Compare the gene frequencies of the two groups of boobies just after the flood. Explain any differences that will occur in the 20 years following the flood.

d) Fifty years after the flood, a biologist visits the islands and observes that the two groups of boobies are about the same size in population (about 1000), but one group has blue feet while the other group has red feet. Compare the gene frequencies of the two groups of boobies fifty years after the flood. Explain any differences.

e) Describe two tests that the biologist could run to determine whether the two groups are still the same species or not.

Modeling with Functions

In this course you have learned the characteristics of different types of functions and have practiced solving application problems involving modeling with these functions. For each scenario below, decide what type of function would best model the situation. Explain why you chose that type of function. Show your work in writing the function to model the situation. Be sure to state what the independent variable represents. Then use your model to answer the questions for that scenario.

1. Susan decides to take a job as a transcriptionist so that she can work part-time from home. To get started, she has to buy a computer, headphones, and some special software. The equipment and software together cost her $1000. The company pays her $0.004 per word, and Susan can type 90 words per minute.

   1. What type of function would be best to model this scenario? Choose one of the following: linear, quadratic, polynomial of degree 3 or higher, rational, exponential, or logarithmic. Explain why you chose this answer.

   2. Write a formula for the function you chose to model this scenario. What does the independent variable in your function represent?

   3. How many hours must Susan work to break even, that is, to make enough to cover her $1000 start-up cost? Show how you found the answer.

   4. If Susan works 4 hours a day, 3 days a week, how much will she earn in a month? Show how you found the answer.
