Alicia is a busy university student who spends her days in university attending classes or studying. In addition to her three meals, she packs two snacks to take with her to school. However, she doesn't always consume both snacks. Let X be the number of snacks she consumes per day. The distribution of X is as follows: x 0 1 2 P(X=x) 0.05 0.35 0.60 Assume the number of snacks per day is independent from day to day. A.[5] Find the sampling distribution of the average of snacks for two randomly selected days. B.[6] Find the expected value and variance for both X and �%. C.[3] Suppose that 36 days were selected at random. What is the sampling distribution of the sample mean based on n = 36? Why? D.[3] Suppose that 36 days were selected at random. What is the probability that the average number of snacks that Alicia consumed is at most 2.5 snacks per day, during the selected 36 days.

“Like a polio ward from the 1950s” is how Guy McKhann, M.D., a neurology specialist at John Hopkins School of Medicine, describes a ward of Beijing Hospital that he visited on a trip to China in 1986. Dozens of paralyzed children---some attached to respirators to assist their breathing--filled the ward to overflowing. The chinese doctors thought the children had Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), a rare paralytic condition, but Dr. McKhann wasn’t convinced. There were simply too many stricken children for the illness to be the rate Guillain-Barre syndrome. Was it polio--as some of the Beijing staff feared? Or was it another illness, perhaps one that had not yet been discovered? Guillain-Barre syndrome is a relatively rare paralytic condition that strikes after a viral infection or an immunization. There is no cure, but usually the paralysis slowly disappears, and lost sensation slowly returns as the body repairs itself. In classic Guillain-Barre, patients can neither feel sensations nor move their muscles.

Is the paralytic illness that affected the chinese children a demyelinating condition? Why or why not?

The city of Belle collects property taxes for other local governments—Beau County and the Landis Independent School District (LISD). The city uses a Property Tax Collection Custodial Fund to account for its collection of property taxes for itself, Beau County, and LISD.

Prepare journal entries to record the following transactions and events for Belle’s Custodial Fund during calendar year 2019.

1. During 2019, property taxes were levied for Belle ($2,000,000), Beau County ($1,000,000) and LISD ($3,000,000). Assume taxes collected by the Custodial Fund will be paid to Belle’s General Fund.

2. Property taxes in the amount of $4,500,000 are collected. The percentage collected for each entity is in the same proportion as the original levy.

3. The amount owed to the city of Belle, Beau County, and LISD is recognized. The city of Belle charges an administrative fee to Beau County ($20,000) and LISD ($60,000) to collect the taxes, which reduces the amount owed to Beau County and LISD.

4. The Custodial Fund distributes the amount owed to the three governments.

After completing the NYU’s NFP & Governmental Accounting, the Deloitte partner invite you to join the team to perform the annual audit of the Department of Education of NYC, which receives approximately $2 million per year in federal grant to conduct an experimental school science enrichment program. The program has now been in existence for three years. During the audit, you discovered the ordinary equipment purchased for the science enrichment program cost 5% more than the industry average. Later, you found out that the vendor is Mr. Green, the Director of the program’s childhood friend. Mr. Green is negotiating with the Vendor about the becoming partner of the firm after retiring from the DEO. The agency does have the vendor bidding policy.

Cindy Chen, a 28-year-old female, arrives at your office complaining of the inability to sleep and nervousness. She tested positive for HIV in 2014, although she has been asymptomatic on antiviral drugs. Currently, she lives with her aunt and is going to school to become a phlebotomist. During her interview she asks, “Just feeling so nervous. Do you have anything you can give me until I see the doctor?”

Discussion Questions:

1. Cindy Chen is nervous. What techniques could you use to improve your communication with her?
2. What should you do regarding Cindy Chen’s HIV-positive health status?
3. How would you best answer Ms. Chen’s question: “Do you have anything you can give me until I see the doctor?”
4. Ms. Chen becomes agitated when you answer her question. What should you do?

2. Tenzin and Dechen have brought in their 24-month-old son, Kim, for his wellness examination and immunizations. Kim is the first child for Tenzin and Dechen, but Dechen is 6 months pregnant with their second child. Tenzin and Dechen are Tibetan refugees who have moved to the United States from India. Kim was born in the United States. Tenzin and Dechen are very focused on Kim’s physical abilities (i.e., motor skills, communication, and sensory skills). They express their desire for Kim to do well in school and be successful in business. (Learning Objectives 3, 4, 7, 11, and 13)

a. What could the nurse share with Kim’s parents regarding the normal motor, communication, and sensory development of a 24-month-old?

b. What can the nurse teach Tenzin and Dechen regarding promoting healthy growth and development in Kim?

Problem 5

Sage Corp. enters into a contract with a customer to build an apartment building for $1,069,900. The customer hopes to rent apartments at the beginning of the school year and provides a performance bonus of $153,300 to be paid if the building is ready for rental beginning August 1, 2018. The bonus is reduced by $51,100 each week that completion is delayed. Sage commonly includes these completion bonuses in its contracts and, based on prior experience, estimates the following completion outcomes:

(a) Determine the transaction price for the contract, assuming Sage is only able to estimate whether the building can be completed by August 1, 2018, or not (Sage estimates that there is a 70% chance that the building will be completed by August 1, 2018).

Transaction price: $__________

(b) Determine the transaction price for the contract, assuming Sage has limited information with which to develop a reliable estimate of completion by the August 1, 2018, deadline.

Transaction price: $__________

Alice is planning a visit with her sister Jeannie, and her niece and nephew on the West Coast. She will be staying with them for the summer. While Alice is on the phone with Jeannie, Jeannie confides to her that she and her husband were filing for divorce. Both children are school aged, with the girl being two years older. The kids call Alice their “favorite Aunt,” and they have a high regard for her. Jeannie has asked Alice to help her talk to the kids about the upcoming divorce. After reading about the changes in the self that occurs during early childhood:

What are three things Jeannie can say or do to help the kids deal with the divorce?

What are the effects of divorce on children and families?

Should Jeannie and her husband stay together for the sake of the children?

The premise that CONFLICT rather than divorce may be the primary factor affecting WELL BEING in children. Do you agree with this premise? (Find additional research to support your response.)

What is your experience with divorce (personal or observational)?

True/false/ambiguous. For each of the following, indicate whether the statement is true, false, or ambiguous, and briefly explain your answer. If your answer depends on any assumptions, state them clearly. Use graphs or equations to illustrate your answer whenever it is helpful.

11. In efficiency wage models, employers take the market wage as given, and then choose the level of effort at which employees are required to work.

12. Mandatory retirement only makes sense in a delayed compensation (or underpayment-overpayment) model of earnings

13. In negotiating a salary with your employer, you should always try to get the highest salary possible – that is, the salary just below the level at which the employer would choose not to hire you. Otherwise you are leaving money on the table.

14. Workers are willing to invest in increasing their specific human capital as long as they capture all the economic returns to that investment.

15. If the economic return to school is due to signaling rather than human capital investment, then the private return to schooling is higher than the social return.
