Attached are data containing the two variables, COLLEGE and INCOME, for 40 adults.  COLLEGE is operationalized as number of years of college completed and INCOME is operationalized as gross annual income in $1,000.  The data are to be used as specified in the questions. 1.    a)  For INCOME, construct a frequency distribution with an interval width of 20 and 19   as the minimum income limit of the lowest interval.   b)  Construct a histogram of the above (i.e., 1a) frequency distribution.   c)   What are the characteristics of this distribution (i.e., 1c)? 2.   For INCOME, what are the range, mode, and median? 3.   a)   Convert INCOME to standard scores.   b)  Calculate the mean and standard deviation for the above (question 3a) standard scores. 4.   In a normal distribution, what proportion of the cases fall between:     a)  z = -1.50 and z = +1.50?   b)   z = -2.28 and z = O?   c)  z = -0.80 and z = -1.60?   The mean age of your sample is 39 with a standard deviation of 5.    d)   What percent of the persons are between 40 and 50? 5.   a)  Construct a scatterplot showing the relationship between COLLEGE and INCOME.   b)   Describe the relationship between COLLEGE and INCOME based on the above scatterplot   (i.e., question 5a).   c)   For COLLEGE and INCOME, calculate the Pearson coefficient of correlation.   d)   Describe the relationship between COLLEGE and INCOME based on the Pearson   coefficient of correlation. 6.   a)   For COLLEGE and INCOME compute the intercept and slope for the Y-on-X regression equation; state the regression equation. Based on the findings from question 6a: b)   Compute the standard error of the mean.  c)  For 5 years of college, what would the predicted income be? d)   What would income be if college = 8? 7.   Studies have found that the national average of hours worked per week for college students is 20.  For a sample of UGF students, the hours worked per week are as follows: 18, 20, 25, 26, and 31.  You would like to determine whether UGF students tend to work more hours per week than the national average.   a)  State the null and alternative hypotheses in text form.   b)  Calculate the test statistic (determine which test you should use).   c)  Determine the critical value (t.05).   d)   Make decision on the null hypothesis and draw conclusions. 8.   Formulate an applicable research (i.e., substantive) question that would use a one-way (simple) analysis of variance.  In describing your research question specify the following.   a)   the dependent variable;   b)   the independent variable and the treatment conditions or the populations   c)   the null and alternative hypotheses in text form. 9.   The Office of Institutional Research at UGF would like to examine the age distribution of the student population.  The office would like to determine whether the distribution of ages for a sample is different from the distribution of ages for the student population.  A sample of students is selected and the relative frequencies for the age categories are as follows for the sample (observed frequency) and the population (expected frequency):   Age group:   18-20  21-24  25-29  Over 30   Sample:    33      42    18    7   Population:    27    30    26    17   a)   State the null and alternative hypotheses in text form.   b)   Compute the Chi-square.   c)   Draw conclusions at the 0.05 level of significance.

identify and justify your top choice of critical path metrics to monitor. Based on your choice, what are the drawbacks and benefits of focusing on that one metric? Two references and three paragraphs please.

Please complete all parts Part 1 400 words Discuss 3 current trends and directions for health care delivery in the United States and the role that managed care has in shaping those 3 trends. Besides managed care, what other forces have influenced these trends and directions? Are these trends and directions moving health care delivery in a positive direction? Explain your response. Part 2Write a paper of 3-4 pages, not including the title page and reference page, that discusses the following 3 elements: Provide an overview of how health care in the United States has evolved since the postindustrial period. How has the evolution of medical technology, graduate medical education, and the professionalization of medical and nursing staff affected the delivery of care? Why has the United States been unsuccessful in evolving the current health care system into a national health care system? Part 3 400 words Research and discuss 1 piece of federal legislation that has affected the use of medical technology. Explain how changes in medical technology affect health care costs. Discuss 1–2 current trends in medical technology and how those trends are expected to impact the performance of the U.S. health care system and public health.
