According to the table above, the mean average miles per gallon are 28.3792 when the total sample of purchasers is 24. In the same manner, out of the 24 sampled data, the sample variance is 8.859 whereas the sample standard deviation is 2.97643 as shown in the SPSS output table above.

Under the sample of 24, which is below 30, the most appropriate statistical test, using the 0.5 significance level is the student’s t-distribution test. Under this test, the sample must be 30 or less, and the arithmetic mean is not normally distributed.

Q3

Interpret the output, examining group differences for purchase intentions. The three groups refer to consumers from three states: Illinois, Louisiana, and Texas.

R squared=0.043 (Adjusted R squared=0.030)

According to the output table above, the Adjusted R squared is 0.030, meaning that only 3% of the variables explain the dependent variable Int. 2. The adjusted R squared helps in predicting how the regression model predicts responses for the explained observations. In this case, it is the fraction by which the variance of the errors that depends on the sum of squares is less than the variance of the dependent variables. Thus, as argued above, only 3% of the independent variables can predict the dependent variable statistically.

When the ANOVA test is run in determining the means among populations, the f statistical value versus the critical value are determined. Under the corrected model, the f statistics is 3.227. Under the assumptions of the hypothesis tests, when the f statistic in attest is lower than the critical f value, then the null hypothesis is rejected. The value obtained means that under the purchase intensions implied by the data above, the null hypothesis is accepted and the independent variables in the states sampled explain the purchase variations.

Also as shown in the second table, the means of the states in terms of consumptions are 37.0.18, 50.357, and 51.459 for the states IL, LA, and TX respectively. The standard error is also 4.339, 4.965, and 4.597 respectively as shown in the table below.

LA50.357 4.965 40.542 60.172

TX51.459 4.597 42.373 60.546

There is a higher mean difference in terms of consumers from Texus, then to Louisiana, and finally from Illinois according to the table above. The standard error measures the accuracy of the figures. The smaller the value of the standard error, the closer the value obtained from the regression model. The above standard errors, 4.339, 4.965, and 4.597 are fair enough to show that the estimated values of the dependent variable, purchase intentions in the three states are close to reality.

Hi, need to submit a 1250 words paper on the topic Health Level Seven International Letter. First, I will present background information as to why these changes are so necessary.&nbsp. President Bush signed Executive Order 13335 in 2004, mandating that Electronic Health Records (EHR) will be in place nationwide within ten years.&nbsp. Congress went a step farther, creating the 2009 Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH), and President Obama signed it into law.&nbsp. The act extended the deadline to 2015, but that is only two years away.&nbsp. After that, health facilities such as Toledo stand to lose millions of dollars in federal Medicare and Medicaid monies if they do not comply.&nbsp. All would agree that it would be a severe financial blow to our center.&nbsp. Fortunately, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has created the HIT coordinator to help us navigate the seemingly complex maze of regulations (HHS, 2013).

&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp. There is a nonprofit organization called Health Level Seven (HL7), which has developed a series of standards generally accepted by both the health community and HHS. Toledo intends to comply with HL7 initiatives. Yet Core point points out that HL7 is a “non-standard standard” (2009), meaning that as no two snowflakes are alike, neither are any two healthcare facilities the same.&nbsp. The main point is that Toledo complies with the laws within the specified timeframe, and conformity with HL7 standards will ensure this occurs.

&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp. Much time and money have been spent developing the software currently utilized by Toledo’s various departments, and I do not intend to dismantle any of their operations. Instead, I recommend that we purchase new hardware that can accommodate all of the departments’ current software systems.&nbsp. Interfaces consider the lack of interchange between clinics and are commercially available, improving communication and interoperability.&nbsp. That is where HL7 comes into play.&nbsp. Without it, my staff and I would be forced to create said interface from scratch, a costly and time-consuming process.&nbsp. Fortunately, HL7 V2 brought together software vendors and informatics specialists, such as me, to make displayed commercial products.&nbsp. Although V3 has largely superseded V2 in Europe, it will be some years before that happens in the United States, so that Toledo will concentrate on V2 compliance.

Provide a 4 pages analysis while answering the following question: Proposed Healthcare Refrom Act. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. Increasing health insurance premiums and limitations in insurance itself keep people uninsured. The overall effect finally keep people away from early diagnosis and treatments or negligence of health and this will increase the morbidity and mortality rates which affect the living standards and the development of the country (Health Care, 2009).

There is a huge difference in the health cost between the countries. Some Asian countries provide similar medical treatments with similar success rates to a cost few folds less than that of the US. Therefore it is interested to find the reason for this difference.

Health cost includes not only the price of the medicines used but also the wages of the health staff and insurance company staff, there mortgages, bank charges, allowances, insurance for the building and equipments, transport cost etc. More intermediate involvement unnecessarily increases the final cost.

Researchers have pointed out considerable opportunities to improve quality of the health care service while dropping the cost. Some academic medical centers in the country provide high quality service for less than half a cost and those physicians and others are provided with all the infrastructure, incentives and support needed. (Dartmouth Atlas Project, 2006)

The proposed health scheme will assess the quality of the health services and inquire the discrepancy between the care providing institutions and take action to cut down unnecessary burden of health care cost.

Obama’s plans will allow patients to select their preferred practitioner and most appropriate treatment plan without limiting to the choice of the insurance company. This will also empower people to quarry any doubtful condition of the insurance scheme and act upon medical malpractices and deliberate negligence and compensation.

When health cost becomes low citizens are able to undergo early diagnosis and early treatments.

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on The United States of Americas Military Policy. It needs to be at least 1250 words. The book certainly makes a good general reading source. This book’s hallmark is that the author elaborates on the topic by actually analyzing and dissecting the American military adventures or say misadventures, like the Bay of Pigs, Iraq invasion, Vietnam War, Cold war, thereby ushering in the sense of pragmatism and practical relevance. The hardcover version is priced at $6.41, and its ISBN is ISBN-10: 0805091416.

&nbsp.Even a cursory perusal of this book corroborates the fact that the salient purpose is to serve as a systematic and methodical critique of the American military policy. The author of the book under consideration that is Andrew Bacevich extends an elaborate, illustrative, unbiased, impartial, cogent, and relevant critique of the beliefs and assumptions that constitute the foundations of the military policy of the United States of America. Taking apt examples from the American military history, the author pragmatically and unsparingly unravels the essential dogmas underlining the American military policy that is to maintain a large and well-equipped military, which is capable of unleashing hasty interventions around the world, guided by the belief that the essential world order should be subservient to the American beliefs and interests. Doing so, Bacevich reveals the sense of unmasked aggression, self-centeredness, and hegemony defining the American military interests, which are totally callous towards the issues of diversity, multi-polarity, and the sovereignty of other nations.

The central theme of this book is that it is unhealthy and unnatural for a country like the United States of America to be perpetually engaged in global crusades, at the pretext of safeguarding some platonic ideas and principles, while totally being oblivious to the beliefs and&nbsp.needs of the world community in general and the American masses in particular.

Provide a 5 pages analysis while answering the following question: America Dream in An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews invented Hollywood by Neal Gabler. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. The book is a study of how the Jews came to dominate Hollywood and this made them the target of anti-Semitism.

The author of this book highlights one significant irony associated with Hollywood in its early, glory days. During this period, the film industry was producing and promoting films that were replete with so-called American values. yet the same films were not produced by Americans themselves but by Jewish immigrants. The American dream as promoted in the films could thus be seen to be a set of values and achievements worth attaining. however, these values and achievements were in effect, the Jewish idea of what constituted happiness and success rather than actually being the actual values the native American people may have espoused. The author has cited the views of the screenwriter Hy Kraft, who stated: They (the Jews of Hollywood) not only believed in the American dream, rather than see it fail, they tried desperately and successfully to manufacture the evidence for its survival..
