The Affordable Care Act (ACA) signed into law by President Barrack Obama in 2010 was the most significant regulatory reform of the United States healthcare system since the passage of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965. The law was designed to expand insurance coverage and reduce the costs of health care. Some elements of the law such are banning insurance companies from denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions are popular while other provisions such as the individual mandate are unpopular. Opinions on the law vary with some wanting to keep the law as it it, others favor fixing the law and some favor repealing the law in its entirity. The middle position has been gaining traction recently and in a Rasmussen Reports poll conducted January 5, 2017, 546 out of 975 randomly selected likely voters want Congress and the President to fix the law a piece at a time.

Specifically, Kryptonosis seems to have killed 12 of Kentville’s inhabitants last year. A neighboring community, Lanesburg, has 25,000 inhabitants and is far enough from the smelter to not be affected by the emission. In Lanesburg, only three people last year died of Kryptonosis. Given that the number of deaths in Kentville and their causes last year were: Heart attack=7 Accidents=4 Kryptonosis=12 Other=6 What is the risk of dying of Kryptonosis in Kentville relative to non-contaminated locality?What is the risk of dying of Kryptonosis in Kentville relative to deaths due to other causes? How many times the chance of dying of Kryptonosis compared to dying of accidents ? How many times the chance of dying of Kryptonosis compared to Other causes?A researcher is interested in understanding how the flexibility of vacation policies at a company influence employee satisfaction with their job. Company 1, Vance Refrigeration, has a 2 week vacation policy in which employees can take those 2 weeks at any time during the year.

- The head of the department of management at State University has noticed that the four secretaries in the departmentaloffice seem to spend a lot of time answering questions fromstudents that could better be answered by the college advising office, by faculty advisors, or simply from the availableliterature; that is, course schedules, catalogues, the studenthandbook, and so on. As a result, the department head isconsidering remodeling the office with cubicles so studentsdo not have easy access to the secretaries. However, beforeinvesting in this project the head has decided to conduct awork sampling study to determine the proportion of timethe secretaries spend assisting students. The head arrangedfor a graduate assistant to make observations for the worksample, but the graduate student’s schedule enabled her tomake only 300 random observations in the time allotted forthe study. The results of the work sampling study showedthat the secretaries assisted students 12% of the time, somewhat…The Center for Information Technology at State Univer-sity has outgrown its office in Bates (B) Hall and is mov-ing to Allen (A) Hall, which has more space. The move will take place during the three-week break between the end of summer semester and the beginning of fall semes-ter. Movers will be hired from the university’s physical plant to move the furniture, boxes of books, and files thatthe faculty will pack. The center has hired a local retailcomputer firm to move its office computers so they willnot be damaged. Following is a list of activities, theirprecedence relationships, and probabilistic time estimatesfor this project:Determine the earliest and latest start and finish times, thecritical path, and the expected project duration. What is theprobability the center will complete its move before thestart of the fall semester?There are different policies and such in place to better protect everyone’s civil liberties and safeguard their personally identifiable information (PII). Former President Trump signed into law and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Act 2018, on November 16, 2018. This agency reports directly to the CISA director and their mission is to “integrate full individual privacy protections into the management of a safe, secure, and resilient infrastructure” (CISA, 2018). It is the law to ensure that the privacy officer does not use technology that can erode these protections, information is handled in compliance with the Privacy Act of 1974, evaluates proposals involving the collection, use and disclosure of PII, and conducts impact assessments. This is all done in addition to complying with privacy laws, federal policies, executive orders, and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) mandates.
- Nidec Sankyo Vietnam Corporation, founded in 2005, over 14 years of operation, Nidec Sankyo Vietnam Corporation has become a supplier for many major companies such as Canon, Mitsubishi, Toto, Brother, Kyocera, etc. Some of the company's outstanding products are motors and drives, card readers, plastic injection processing, music boxes, JIG, hot stamping molds, steel molds, metal molds, electronic components, computer accessories, molding products, etc. The company was about to lunch a new product. Production Manager Nhu asked her assistant, Trinh, to check the capability of a machinery used in the process. Trinh obtained 20 random samples of 16 pieces each. The results of those samples are shown in the following table. After she analyzed the data, she concluded that the process was capable based on a specification width of 1.56 cm. Nhu was quite disappointed when she heard this. She had hoped that with the introduction of the new product her operation could run close to full capacity…Nidec Sankyo Vietnam Corporation, founded in 2005, over 14 years of operation, Nidec Sankyo Vietnam Corporation has become a supplier for many major companies such as Canon, Mitsubishi, Toto, Brother, Kyocera, etc. Some of the company's outstanding products are motors and drives, card readers, plastic injection processing, music boxes, JIG, hot stamping molds, steel molds, metal molds, electronic components, computer accessories, molding products, etc. The company was about to lunch a new product.

- According to the American Red Cross, O positive is the most common blood type. Approximately 45% of the U.S. population has type O blood. However, type O is routinely in short supply and in high demand by hospitals—both because it is the most common blood type and because type O negative blood, in particular, is the universal blood type needed for emergency transfusions. The local American Red Cross is holding a blood drive. How many donors should they expect to collect from until they get a donor with type O blood? What is the probability that the first donor with type O blood occurs on the mean of the distribution? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth if necessary. The American Red Cross had 75 donors show up to their drive and donate blood. How many donors would you expect to have type O blood? The American Red Cross had 75 donors show up to their drive and donate blood. By about how many donors would the expected value for donors with type O blood vary? You find out…A state highway commission is considering removing the lane that allows people to pay cash for a toll on a toll road and requiring all people who use the toll road to pay with an electronic transponder that is connected to their car. The commission wants to know whether the proportion of people who live in the northern part of the state and are in favor of removing the cash lane is different from the proportion of people who live in the southern part of the state and are in favor of removing the cash lane. Independent random samples are selected from the northern and southern parts of the state. The table summarizes the responses of those surveyed. Northern Southern Total Remove Cash Lanes 112 98 210 Keep Cash Lanes 89 105 194 Total 201 203 404 Which of the following is closest to the pp-value of the appropriate test to investigate whether the proportion of people living in the northern part of the state who are in favor of removing the cash lane is different from…Within a large metropolitan area, 20% of the commuters currently use the public transportation system, whereas the remaining 80% commute via automobile. The city has recently revitalized and expanded its public transportation system. It is expected that 6 months from now 30% of those who are now commuting to work via automobile will switch to public transportation, and 70% will continue to commute via automobile. At the same time, it is expected that 40% of those now using public transportation will commute via automobile and 60% will continue to use public transportation. In the long run, what percentage of the commuters will be using public transportation? (Round your answer to the nearest percent.)
