EJU Calculate the Coefficient of Determination Questions

Question

All Canadians have government-funded health insurance, which pays for any medical care they require. However, when traveling out of the country, Canadians usually acquire supplementary health insurance to cover the difference between the costs incurred for emergency treatment and what the government program pays. In the United States, this cost differential can be prohibitive. Until recently, private insurance companies (such as BlueCross BlueShield) charged everyone the same weekly rate, regardless of age. However, because of rising costs and the realization that older people frequently incur greater medical emergency expenses, insurers had to change their premium plans. They decided to offer rates that depend on the age of the customer. To help determine the new rates, one insurance company gathered data concerning the age and mean daily medical expenses of a random sample of 1,348 Canadians during the previous 12-month period.

a. Calculate the coefficient of determination.

b. What does the statistic calculated in part (a) tell you?

c. Determine the least squares line.

d. Interpret the coefficients.

e. What rate plan would you suggest?

Chapter 3 Questions

1.    The building of trust is a major theme in this chapter.  Educators must trust the data, and administrators must trust that their educators are able to use the data effectively.  Give an example of one factor that could serve as a hindrance to building that trust.

2.    A “culture of mutual accountability” needs to exist among teachers, principals, and district personnel if data is to be used successfully to improve education.  How do you think each of these three constituencies is accountable to the other two?

Chapter 4 Questions

3.    Figure 4.1 (page 75 of the text) illustrates the cycle of instructional improvement.  Which step in the cycle do you think serves as a bottleneck to slow down the entire instructional improvement process?

4.    The administration of regular benchmark assessments is one tool schools can use to gauge instructional improvement.  Some schools couple these assessments with pacing plans to ensure the material is being taught at an appropriate pace.  How can school administration balance a pacing plan with teacher autonomy?

QUESTION

1. Using shifts in supply and demand curves, describe a change in the industry in which your firm operates. The change may arise from a change in costs, entry/exit of firms, a change in consumer tastes, a change in the Macroeconomy, a change in interest rates, or a change in exchange rates. Label the axes, and state the geographic, product, and time dimensions of the demand and supply curves you draw. Explain what happened to industry price and quantity by referencing the demand and supply curves. If more than one change occurred, decompose the change into smaller pieces so that your explanation has a step-by-step character. (Hint and warning: Demand and supply curves are used at the industry level, not the firm level.) Describe how your company could profitably use the analysis.   ( Make sure all Criteria have been fulfilled).

2. provide a graduate-level response to the following questions: How can ethics be applied to environmental issues? 

3. What are several of the most critical environmental issues now receiving worldwide attention?

Confidentiality & Substance Abuse Information

/0 Comments/in /by

QUESTION

As you have learned, 42 CFR Part 2 governs confidentiality for substance abuse programs. It also outlines the limited circumstances of information about a client’s treatment, which may be disclosed with or without the client’s consent. In this discussion, you will examine the ethical standards that can align with some of the legal issues concerning release of confidential health information of individuals with substance abuse/use disorders.

Imagine that you are a human services professional working with an adult client who is seeking treatment for a substance abuse overdose.

  • Explain at least one way that the limitations under 42 CFR Part 2 for disclosing substance abuse information impact effective information sharing for all parties involved in this scenario.
  • Indicate what might be different if your client was a child and had a parent or guardian. If the patient is a minor, how do you ensure provisions under 42 CFR Part 2 are abided by?
  • If your client has threatened someone, how do you determine if there is a duty to warn those being threatened?

QUESTION

Professor instructions: 

Choose two poems and write an essay in which you engage with both poems and compare them.

Analyze the poems themselves, compare the two, and explore how they deal with different personal and social issues. Think about how they use language creatively, how they use imagery and sound. Use evidence from the poems to support your arguments, and if you find it is relevant, you can also quote any of the texts you have read for this course.

This is an opportunity to develop the initial notes that you made into fully-formed ideas and arguments that connect the poems to each other and to the themes of the class. 

Read the poems a few times before you begin writing, and again once you have started working on the essay. It is impossible to extract everyting from a poem in a single or a couple of readings. Going over the poem again and lingering over certain words and certain lines will help you extract subtle meanings that you may have missed before.
