Please post a 2 to 3 page reflection paper here on EITHER the topic of "Crime" or the topic of "Gender", with a social problems focus. You may not restate what you wrote about in the discussion forums. It must be 2-3 FULL pages (from the top of the first page to at least the very bottom of the second page). Formatting: 12 pt. Times New Roman, double-spaced evenly throughout. Please just put your heading, name, and date in the title. No research is required for this assignment. It is for your initial thoughts. All words written must be your own- no copying and pasting from other sources!

Page 1- your thoughts on the topic (Feel free to be honest here. Your classmates won't have access to these.)

Page 2- application of theory. For this section, please apply each of the 3 main sociological theories to your chosen social problem. You are answering the question: How would a theorist from each perspective (structural functionalist, conflict, symbolic interactionist) view this social problem? Devote a paragraph (6-8 sentences) to each theory.

1. Write two examples of media or types of communication in each section. Note that each section is described by the column header AND the row title. Leave a section blank if, by definition, no example is possible.

2. What specifically distinguishes mass communication from earlier means of communication?

Section 179. (Obj. 2) Sand Corporation buys one asset in 2018---machinery costing $32,300,000. The machine was placed in service on June 2, 2018. Sand wants to elect the maximum Section 179 possible, even if some must be carried over to 2019. Sand's 2018 business income limitation (taxable income before Section 179 expense, but after all other expenses, including depreciation) is $167,000. A) Compute the maximum Section 179 Sand can elect to expense in 2018, the actual allowed 2018 expense deduction, and the Section 179 carryover to 2019. B) What is the regular depreciation deduction on the machine (7-year property; half-year convention) after taking into account the maximum section 179 deduction and assuming no bonus depreciation is clamied?

Write a Python graphics program that draws the following shapes:

• window size: 250 x 250 pixels with window title with your name

• big circle, 50 pixels radius with center at (125, 125)

• two green circles, 10 pixels radius; first one centered at (113, 113) and second centered at (137, 113)

• one red line, from (100, 150) to (150, 150)

Then answer this, what do you see? (make this a comment in your code)

A game is to be played by first flipping a fair coin, and then drawing balls without replacement from a bin. If you flip heads you get to draw one ball, and if you flip tails you get two draw two balls. The bin contains 7 red balls, and 4 white balls. Let W = 4^x - 2 be your win amount, where X represents the number of white balls drawn. What is your expected win amount on any given play?

Suppose you purchase one share of the stock of Red Devil Corporation at the beginning of year 1 for $44.75. At the end of year 1, you receive a dividend of $2 and buy one more share for $48.75. At the end of year 2, you receive total dividends of $4 (i.e., $2 for each share), and sell the shares for $56.75 each. What is the time-weighted return on your investment? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.)

School boards in Nova Scotia, on average receive a budget of $623.00 per student from the provincial government. A random sample of 45 rural schools report that they received on average $605 per student with a standard deviation of $74. Is there a significant difference in the budgets between rural schools and the whole province? (20%)

This question is an example of statistical research using hypothesis testing. You will need to use the 5 step model of hypothesis testing to test for significance at a=.05.

• State assumptions

• State the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis
• State the appropriate hypothesis test for each question and determine your critical scores for testing significance at .05
• Calculate your test statistic making sure you show your formulas
• Interpret your results using complete sentences indicating is significance was determined

A motivational speaker claims that wearing red on the day of an exam “energizes” the brain and improves performance. Your psychology professor doubts that this is true. Design an experiment that would test whether the speaker is correct.

total income for the year of assessment 2013 is RM43,000. Explain to Robert the tax advantages he would enjoy as a tax resident.

(c) If in a particular basis year (e.g. basis year 2013), an individual was never in Malaysia for even a single day, is there a possibility for that individual to be a resident for that particular basis year (i.e. basis year 2013)? Support your answers with reference to any relevant provision of the Income Tax Act.

p/s : please provide full answer .

example answer will be like this .

Chapter 6: Normal Probability (These problems are like the problems in Section 6.2). Using a Normal Distribution to find probabilities: Use the table E.2 in your text. Draw a sketch and indicate what probabilities (E.g. P (X<3 and X>10) for what is required for each part of the problem. To make sketches copy and paste into Word for the areas under the bell-curve you have the NormalSketch.ppt powerpoint slide in the Resources  Handout area on Laulima, The main point of providing a sketch is to give you a visual idea of what your solution will be. 2. Do problem (6 points) Remember, you need the sketches to get credit. You order and manage the medications in the Pharamacy for Queens hospital. The CEO is concerned because the hospital is ordering and stocking medicine with short shelf lives and its not being used and thrown away. There is a medicine called Harvoni that is used for Hepatitis the cost of a treatment is $95,000 and the shelf life for the medicine is 12 weeks. Last year s significant amount of this medicine was disposed because of the short shelf life: How many treatments should you order? For this question the mean (μ) was 20, the standard deviation (σ) was 5, skewness was .06 and kurtosis was - .27. a. You can find the probabilities for this problem assuming a normal (bell-shaped) curve. Why is it OK for this particular situation? b. What is the probability that you will use no more than10 treatments in a given week? c. What is the probability that will use more than 36 treatments in a given week? d. Would using more than 36 treatments in a week be an outlier for this data set? e. You expect touse μ harvoni each day. Because of the variability you will actually sell more or less each day. To understand this, find out how many less or more than μ you expect to sell 80% of the time. That is, find two values equal distance from the mean such that 80% of all values fall between them. Specifically find what number of x Harvoni where 80% of the values fall between μ-x and μ+x f. You can only have a fixed amount of amount of treatments on hand to sell every week. As in (e) you know you will surely use more or less than μ treatments each week. If you run out of treatments, your patients will die. But if you order too many treatments they will go bad and you will have to throw them out so you are willing to sell out occasionally. How many treatments must you have on hand to sell if you wanted to ensure you do not runl out more than 5% of the time? (This is called having a 95% service level) g. The z-value for having a given service level is called the safety-factor. Explain what this factor does in terms of μ and σ for the 95% service level you found in (f). What if you wanted to only have a 50% service level? What about 40% service level?
