What is “enabling legislation?”

A routine anatomy scan was performed and a well-circumscribed, large hyperechoic mass is visualized within the placenta at the umbilical cord insertion site.   What is the most likely diagnosis?

Discrimination against majority group individuals, such as white males.  Still illegal

 Your spouse is having surgery and you need to file for benefits under the Family and Medical Leave Act.  What can you expect to get?

  Which of the following is true about the Ellerth/Faragher Affirmative Defense of sexual harassment?

 You are in charge of hiring a new cashier, but your supervisor tells you that it is an unwritten rule that “we do not hire women.”  What type of discrimination is this?

The local Chevrolet dealer advertised that they had brand-new SUV’s for $25,000 – super cheap! But when you got to the dealership, the salesperson told you they didn’t have any and tried to sell you an SUV for $40,000. What type of deceptive advertising is this?

 Unintentional discrimination that occurs when a protected group of people is adversely affected by an employer’s practices, procedures, or tests, even though they do not appear to be discriminatory.

  Which of the following is true about the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)?

DO NOT use MATLAB to solve this problem.   This is a MATLAB programming problem. In order to receive full credit for this problem, you must write syntactically correct MATLAB code that, if run, would produce the correct answer to the problem and all elements of a GOOD code. (From Physics)   When computing the average power consumed in an electrical circuit with a resistor and a capacitor, the following equations are used: (units have been removed)   P = V2/Z X = 2 π f L Z = sqrt(R2 + X2) where: f = 60L = 0.025R = 10V = 50   Note:  DO NOT use 3.14159… for π.  You MUST use the MATLAB function for π. Problem:  Write a MATLAB code to compute a value for the Average Power, P.  TYPE the full code into Blackboard. DO NOT simply substitute values into the above equations, and then write one big assignment statement.  Instead, you MUST write separate assignment statements for each variable, and calculation statements ordered correctly.  Have the code ONLY display the value for P.  Don’t worry about the units involved, they work out.   Use “good” programming style discussed.
