Discrete vs. Continuous Variables, law homework help

/in /by

8) Discrete vs. Continuous Variables

If a variable can take on any value between two specified values, it is called a continuous variable; otherwise, it is called a discrete variable.

Some examples will clarify the difference between discrete and continuous variables.

§  Suppose the fire department mandates that all fire fighters must weigh between 150 and 250 pounds. The weight of a fire fighter would be an example of a continuous variable; since a fire fighter’s weight could take on any value between 150 and 250 pounds. 

§  Suppose we flip a coin and count the number of heads. The number of heads could be any integer value between 0 and plus infinity. However, it could not be any number between 0 and plus infinity. We could not, for example, get 2.5 heads. Therefore, the number of heads must be a discrete variable.

12) what does the sum equal to? Is it between 0 and 1? 

16) the sum would need to be = 1 so add all and subtract from 1 

20 a) resource:  http://stattrek.com/probability-distributions/discrete-continuous.aspx?Tutorial=Stat    c) mean = add all the data in question / number of data values 

http://www.purplemath.com/modules/meanmode.htm  d) standard deviation: https://www.mathsisfun.com/data/standard-deviation-calculator.html    e) P(8) = ? 

Section 6.2
10) resource: A binomial experiment is a statistical experiment that has the following properties:

§  The experiment consists of n repeated trials.

§  Each trial can result in just two possible outcomes. We call one of these outcomes a success and the other, a failure.

§  The probability of success, denoted by P, is the same on every trial.

§  The trials are independent; that is, the outcome on one trial does not affect the outcome on other trials.

36)  a. note that there are 4 requirements that can be met – see above resource
 b   n = 10;  p= 0.9; and x = 8  find P(8) = ?
  c.   the probability data and interpretationd.   p(x> = 8)  1 – P(x<8) =  ? e.     P( 7 <= X <+ 9) = P(7)+P(8)+P(9) = ?
Section 7.1
26)What value is in the center? This would be u = ? 
 standard deviation – The distance to the inflection points is = ?  This value would be 
 
36) a) the interpretation for the .3309 value
  b) the interpretation for .1107 value 
Section 7.2


20)  Use Table V in the book. The area to the right of the unknown z-score is = ? So, the area to the left is 1 – ? 

24) P(x> 65) = 1 – (the value of the area to the left of the z-score). 
Find the z-score =  x – u /  

28) From Table V: Area to the left of z1 = 0.86 = ?  and the area to the left of z2 = 2.57 is ?  Then take both values and subtract them. 

34)From Table V find the area closest to 0.90 = ? What’s the corresponding z-score = ?  90th percentile for X is x = u +z *  = ? 
 
Section 7.4  resource for this section: https://www.ltcconline.net/greenl/courses/201/probdist/NormalAreaBinomial.htm 
22) a)  P(80) = ?
     b)  P( X ≥ 80) = ?  c)   P(X<70) = ?    d)  P( 70 ≤ X ≤ 90) = ?


28)  a.  P(X ≥ 20) = P(X ≥ 19.5) = ?
  b   Is part a unusual?

Your comments will be graded on how well they meet the Discussion Requirements posted under “Before You Begin.”

A poem by T.S. Eliot (1943) says, “We had the experience but missed the meaning.” As your experience in this course comes to a close, I don’t want you to miss the meaning of the materials you have read, papers you have written, and discussions we have had throughout the session. They are more than a series of assignments and grades—the end result should be an improvement in your higher-order thinking and your ability to make connections between thoughts and ideas. You can achieve that through reflection, the art of taking charge of your own mind.

Reflection is a mental process that challenges you to use critical thinking to examine the course information, analyze it carefully, make connections with previous knowledge and experience, and draw conclusions based on the resulting ideas. A well-cultivated critical thinker (Paul & Elder, 2008):

  • raises vital questions and problems, formulating them clearly and precisely;
  • gathers and assesses relevant information, using abstract ideas to interpret it effectively; comes to well-reasoned conclusions and solutions, testing them against relevant criteria and standards;
  • thinks open-mindedly within alternative systems of thought, recognizing and assessing, as need be, their assumptions, implications, and practical consequences; and
  • communicates effectively with others in figuring out solutions to complex problems.

For this discussion, take some time to reflect upon two concepts that you learned in this course. What are the concepts? What insight or ideas did you gain from learning each of these concepts? Were there aspects of the concepts that you would challenge? What is the importance of these concepts to public health? How will you use this new wisdom in your current or future career?

In order to earn maximum credit, the comment should be more than your opinion, and more than a quick “off the top of your head” response. Be sure to support your statements, cite sources properly, cite within the text of your comments, and list your reference(s). The response must be a minimum of 250 words.

    Juvenile justice, law homework help

    /in /by

    Question: Regarding number two, do you think much of that has changed today? (ref the Bill of Rights not applying to children and the state’s ability to mandate education).


    2. Juvenile justice

    Juvenile justice is still being sought out even today; it is interesting that the constitutional rights of the children in the courts were not recognized until late 1960s and 1970s. The intriguing thing to note is that the family did not have a say in the delinquents being forcibly taken by the state and subjecting them to intervention. The 1838 case Ex parte Crouse provided that the Bill of rights was not applicable to the youths. It further provided that education which was of public interest is the one that gave the state the right to intervene without due regards to the parents or the delinquents family members (Kurlychek, 2014).

    With time though changes have been seen in the society where that doctrine was challenged and which gave a new approach to the youth’s criminality. The protection of their rights through the adversarial system was a way which was aimed at protecting the children’s constitutional rights. The current juvenile justice system believes in the due process, retribution and rehabilitation of the youth rather than forceful intervention and punishment.

    health care transformation changes

    /0 Comments/in /by

    This week your have due the first peer response to the first discussion: Health care reform and the role of the APRN. Your response should be professional, not only agree or disagree with your classmates but elaborate why or why not agree by using scholarly article, cite, and reference them on your response post.

    This week will review the health care transformation changes and its impact on the nurse practitioners role. Review the articles sent in your syllabus for week 2 and your textbook.

    I located this article by Phillips (2019) which address the latest legislative updates on the APRN across USA, included the estate of Florida. For your future practice as NP it is very important you understand your scope of practice and the legal portion concerning our practice.

    Article: Phillips, S. J. (2019). 31st Annual APRN Legislative Update: Improving state practice authority and access to care. The Nurse Practitioner, 44(1), 27-55. doi: 10.1097/01.NPR.0000550248.81655.30

    Peer Discussion:

     

    The enactment of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) provided nurses with newer opportunities in delivering care and also being part of the reforms occurring in the healthcare industry. Nurses are required to do more in their roles in ensuring better patient outcomes and low-cost care is realized (Salmond & Echevarria, 2017). To better understand the roles of nurses’ practitioners and the impact they have in the process of healthcare reforms, several issues can be addressed.

    Expansion of the scope nurses practice will allow them to fully practice in their education and also get the licenses to operate in various states. This will ensure that nurses will work with physicians and provide cost-effective care thus addressing the issues of shortages in primary health care. Nurses will thus use the opportunity to give their services and practice what they have been trained to do. At the same time, it will help redefine their competences and thus have the ability to meet the health demand in an increasingly diverse society (YouTube, n.d.). Through improved practices, they can focus on quality and safe services. Nurses should also have the ability to cater to a culturally diverse population and this will reduce the health disparities realized in the US.

    Use of technology should be embraced to ensure there is on-time delivery of services. Use of technology goes a long way in bringing forth quality care to patients. They also help the nurse make informed decisions since they can easily track the medical history of the patient. Technology, when used appropriately, can be used to provide solutions and improve patient care. Nurses are engaged daily with patients and they come into contact with patients and thus they should be included in the process of making healthcare delivery better. Nurses need more leadership positions as they are the healthcare professionals actively dealing with patients (Sohpia, 2015). Nursing reforms and inclusions in the health reforms will in a huge way and thus ensure better health outcomes.

    Law Essay , law homework help

    /in /by

    In 1990, Bob, then a resident of State X, purchased a lakefront home in New York State. From the time he purchased the property, Bob reasonably believed the northern boundary to be five feet north of the true northern boundary line and the southern boundary to be five feet south of the true southern boundary line. Bob occupied the property every summer. The first summer he erected a fence along what he believed to be the southern boundary. Bob did nothing to occupy or cultivate the five-foot strip north of the true northern boundary line until 2004, when he cleared it and extended his lawn onto that five-foot strip, which he then regularly mowed. That same year he also erected a storage shed on the northerly five-foot strip. In 2010, Bob married Marsha in State X, where they resided, although they spent their summers at Bob’s lakefront home. In May 2014, Bob and Marsha moved from State X to New York City. Shortly after moving to New York, Bob and Marsha executed an agreement in which each agreed to waive any right of election against the other’s will. Bob and Marsha signed the agreement before two witnesses who also signed the agreement. In February 2015, Marsha left their marital home in New York and returned to State X, indicating that she was never going to return to New York or to Bob wherever he might live. In June 2015, Bob commenced an action in New York against Marsha for divorce on the ground of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage and for equitable distribution of the marital assets. Bob caused the summons and complaint to be personally served on Marsha in State X by an authorized State X process server. Marsha has moved to dismiss the complaint on the grounds that (a) it fails to state a cause of action as to the alleged ground for divorce, (b) the residency requirement for bringing the action was not satisfied, and (c) the court (i) lacks jurisdiction over the subject matter of the action and (ii) lacks personal jurisdiction over Marsha. 1. (a) If Bob brings an action to establish his having title to the northern strip, should he be successful? (b) If Bob brings an action to establish his having title to the southern strip, should he be successful? 2 2. Should the court grant Marsha’s motion to dismiss the complaint? Discuss each of grounds (a), (b) and (c). 3. Is the agreement signed by Bob and Marsha enforceable?
