The operations manager for a local bus company wants to decide whether he should purchase a small, medium, or large new bus for his company. He estimates that the annual profits (in $000) will vary depending upon whether passenger demand is low, medium, or high, as follows: Bus DEMAND LOW MEDIUM HIGH Small 50 60 70 Medium 40 80 90 Large 20 50 120 If he uses the maximin criterion, which size bus will he decide to purchase?

This course will have a final exam.

SCENARIO: A first-year student-athlete on an intercollegiate athletics Women’s Track & Field/Cross Country team reports to you asking to have their right ankle evaluated. History Her chief complaint is P! behind her R medial malleolus. She tells you that the P! has been present for approximately two weeks. She does not remember a specific MOI. The P! increases with exercise (distance running) and persists for a few hours after exercise. In the past 48 hours, she has noticed mild P! at night. She has recently increased her mileage from 35 miles to 48 miles per week.  She reports no P! in her foot. She does not remember having any unusual sensations. She reports that she sprained her R ankle once in high school but she does not remember exactly what structures were injured.  AT RESPONSE: Based on the patient’s history, what corresponding conditions are you considering in the first step of differential diagnosis?  DIRECTIONS: Bullet your individual text entries. Your entries must be concise, specific, and accurate. Your entries must include correct spelling.  You may (and are encouraged) to use common abbreviations and acronyms linked to anatomical and medical terminology when appropriate. 

I need to successfully complete all three courses (VOC HTH06, VOC CC1, and VOC CC2) before receiving my Care Coordinator program certificate. Classes can be taken in any order.

Your patient is having trouble performing sit to stands, bearing most of his weight through his arms when rising and “plopping” down in his chair when lowering himself. This patient most likely has weakness along which nerve root?

An individual who habitually acquires an anterior pelvic tilt will, over time, present with weakness in which muscles?

An InsuranceQuotes.com survey indicates that there is a 0.08 probability that a randomly selected person has had a holiday package stolen from their front door.*  If you talk to 9 random people, find the probability that at least one of them has had a holiday package stolen from their front door.  Show all work.  Round your final answer to three decimal places. *Problem adapted from book and based on real data.

A bag contains 4 brown and 11 green M&Ms.  You randomly select two M&Ms from the bag without replacement (you eat each M&M after choosing it). Find the probability that the first is green and the second is brown.  Write your final answer as decimal, rounded to three decimal places.  Show all work.

Is there a relationship between the heights of fathers and their firstborn biological daughters?  To answer this, I randomly chose 11 measurements from an actual data set*.  The linear correlation coefficient between the height of the father and the height of the firstborn daughter is 0.431. The mean height of the fathers was 69.1 inches and the mean height of the daughters was 65.0 inches.  The linear regression equation for the data is Daughter = 32.7+0.47(Father), using Daughter and Father instead of y and x. Is there sufficient evidence of a linear correlation between the height of a father and his firstborn biological daughter?  Use a 0.05 significance level and thoroughly support your answer using the table below.  Find the best prediction of the height of a daughter if the father is 70 inches tall.  Do not round. *Actual data listed in the your textbook from the journal of Francis Galton (1822-1911), initiator of the ideas of standard deviation, regression line and correlation.
