Question 1

An 18-year-old man presents with periumbilical pain, vomiting, and abdominal cramping over the past 48 hours. Physical examination reveals rebound tenderness and laboratory analysis shows the presence of bandemia and a total WBC of 28,000 mm3. To support the diagnosis of acute appendicitis with suspected appendiceal rupture, you consider obtaining the following abdominal imaging study:

Question options:

1) Magnetic resonance image (MRI).

2) Computed tomography (CT) scan.

3) Ultrasound.

4) Flat plate.

Question 2

Gina is 2 years old and presents with a 3-day history of fever, crankiness, and congested cough. Her respiratory rate is more than 50% of the upper limits of normal for age. Tubular breath sounds are noted at the right lung base. Skin turgor is normal, and she is wearing a wet diaper. She is alert, resisting the examination as age appropriate, and engages in eye contact. Temperature is 38.3° C (101° F). Gina’s diagnostic evaluation should include:

Question options:

2) has a humming or vibratory quality.

3) is a reason for denying sports participation clearance.

4) can become louder when the patient is standing.

Discussion 1 (250-500)

How can the effective use of the school budget’s data affect your school’s culture? Consider this within the context of the following from GCU’s Statement on the Integration of Faith, Learning, and Work, “…we honor God by serving others in ways that promote human flourishing.”

Discussion 2 (250-500)

 

In recent years, many states have initiated school choice policies that allow public school funds to be used for alternative educational environments such as charter schools, contract schools, private schools, or even home schools. What is one argument in favor of school choice? What is one argument against it? Where do you stand and why?

Statistics : Applying Game Theory

/in /by

Assignment – Applying Game Theory Overview Gaming and probability are intertwined. In fact, there is an entire discipline in mathematics called “Game Theory.” In this assessment, you will apply discrete and continuous probability distributions to games. There will be two parts: the first will concentrate on discrete probability distributions, and the second part will focus on continuous probability distributions. Instructions Part One – Data Table The theoretical probability of rolling a fair six-sided die is 1/6 for any specific single outcome, such as rolling a one. You want to test the theoretical probability by running an experiment. In this experiment, you need to roll a six-sided die 25 times. Record the outcome of each die roll. Create a discrete probability distribution using your outcomes as the probability. For example, if you rolled 4 fives out of your 25 total rolls, your probability would be 4/25. x – 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 P(x) Part Two – Discrete Probability Distribution After filling in the table above with your experimental probability, answer the following questions. Show all work for full credit. Calculations should be performed in Excel while answers including an explanation of steps using proper terminology are provided in a separate document. 1. What is the expected outcome for rolling a six-sided die using the discrete probability distribution table above? 2. What is the probability of rolling an even number according to the discrete probability distribution table above? How does this compare to the theoretical probability of 0.5? Explain why you think there is a difference between the theoretical probability and the experimental probability you found. 3. Create a binomial probability distribution based on the discrete probability distribution table above where a success is rolling an even number. Answer the following questions: How do you know this is a Binomial Probability Distribution? Explain by showing how this example fits all four properties of a Binomial Probability Distribution. Define n,p,q. What is the probability that you will roll exactly 12 even numbers? What is the probability that you will roll at least 12 even numbers? Find the expected number of even numbers that you will roll. Part Three – Continuous Probability Distribution Dice are a common tool used in several board games. One board game which utilizes two dice is Monopoly. While the outcomes of rolling two dice in this game would be a discrete random variable, we are interested in looking at a continuous random variable associated with Monopoly and its respective probability. The time it takes to finish a game of Monopoly is normally distributed with a mean of 120 minutes and a standard deviation of 30 minutes. Using this premise, answer the following questions. Show all work for full credit. Calculations should be performed in Excel while answers including an explanation of steps using proper terminology are provided in a separate document. Explain why this is a continuous probability distribution instead of a discrete probability distribution. What is the probability that a game lasts less than 45 minutes? What is the probability that a game lasts more than 160 minutes? What is the z-score of a game that lasts exactly 105 minutes?
