The Micro Level On a micro level, the paper by Jackson is the only one availablefor the 1980 election. There had been earlier uses of individualdata by Mendelsohn (1966) in an analysis of the 1964 election, but since this had been predicted as a very large victory for PresidentJohnson and the early results indicatedthe same thingthere was no reason to expect an effect, nor was there any. A recent paper by Adams (1985) about voting behavior in Oregon duringthe 1984presidentialelections also found no effects since the substantial victory for Reagan had been anticipated. Jackson used data from the University of Michigan Presidential Study in 1980. Respondents were interviewed before the election to determine if they were registered and their likelihood of voting.
There is only a 1.28% chance that b = 0, which is better than the 10 percent level required by the marketing director. d. The exact level of significance of is 0.0927. There is a 9.27% chance that rivals’ spending on advertising does not affect Vanguard’s sales (i.e., b = 0), which is just barely better than the 10 percent level required by the marketing director. e. About 78 percent of the variation in sales remains unexplained. Find additional explanatory variables that have a significant affect on S. The manager might try adding the price of its detergent and the
For the year 2007 the ratio was less than 1 meaning it needed to liquidated it marketing securities in that year, to pay bills. In year 2008, the ratio increased over one and hence there was not a need to liquidate its securities. * Acc receivable turnover ratio = Net credit Sales/ Average accounts receivable Acc receivable turnover 2008 = $875,250/ (($84,120+$128,420)/2) =8.24 times Average collection period = 360days/ 8.24 = 44 days We would need to know the credit policy of the company to determine if this collection period is reasonable. * Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold/ Average inventory Inventory turnover 2008 = $542,750/ (($96,780+$135,850) = 4.67
Brian Petersen Section 13 #10- Political Parties Word Count: 1,766 1. Why could one say that America has become more democratic even though the form of government has not changed and it remains a republic and not a democracy? One could say that America has become more democratic even though the form of government has not changed and it remains a republic and not a democracy because they will give their insights on how the government is run compared to what the founding fathers had envisioned. Many of those people will focus on our progress through the years on how we have become more dependent on the government and also how we are instituting new rules as the world changes. 2.
Table 3 (page 14), Descriptive Statistics, shows there is no discrepancies on the low or high side, which means that our statistics should be more true based on our findings. Table 4 (page 17), Confidence Interval Tables, shows that even though there is a variance between states in the incomes, the vast majority fall into a small variance, a few thousand dollars on either side. Table 5 (page 18), Hypothesis Testing, suggests the states have a smaller commute time than the mean of all of the states. Table 6 (page 19), a Regression Model, shows that the two charts show an 18% significance between the two. It therefore proves that commute time is not effected, as we believed, by commute time.
This type of range voting appears to have less serious drawbacks than plurality, IRV and the Borda count, but it has not been used for political elections. Tied political elections in the United States have led to costly runoffs and ballot recounts. For instance, the 2008 United States Senate election in Minnesota cost the state over $12 million. In this report, the results of simulations that counted the frequency of tied elections for plurality, instant runoff voting and range voting are presented. It is found
“there is no participation crisis in the UK” discuss? (25 marks) Over time as a society becomes more modernised and changed many seem to form theories of a controversial topic if there is or isn’t a participation crisis in the UK as less people are willing to actively participate or engage in any political activities whatsoever. This research was concluded when Tony Blair was in power and in 2006 the power report was published concluding the popular disillusionment with democratic institutions which the parties then declared needed immediate attention. Participation is crucial in politics because it will allow the government to be held responsible and legit. Key forms of participation, such as voting and party membership have declined significantly
These individuals or groups fall into many categories in the contemporary political arena where decreased transactions costs make communication far quicker and cheaper than ever before and the ease with which people can travel allows the constant exchange of ideas and action. The term ‘political actor’ could therefore be used to describe a well established political party, a small community driven grassroots organisation or an ethnic network seeking to assert influence. Furthermore the media is an increasingly power tool used by political actors and can be seen to some extent as a political actor in itself4. Finally military power has a decisive
In 1995-1996, weight discrimination was reported by 7% in the United States. In 2004-2006, that percentage increased to 12%, Andreyeva, Puhl, & Brownell (2008). Weight bias reduces earning potential, affects hiring and promotion opportunities, and affects academic opportunities and achievement. As of now, there are no federal laws that protect overweight people from discrimination. Including weight as a category of discrimination in federal, state, and local statutes has potential to reduce unfair treatment of overweight people, make weight bias an unacceptable form of prejudice, similar to bias in the context of race or gender, and prevent some of the social, economic and medical consequences of obesity.
The long-term and short-term effects are negatively consequential to a person’s future and decisions in life. President George Bush set six goals and announced them in his First State of the Union address. Congress has spent little or no time acting upon these goals (The Heritage Foundation). With this increased dropout rate, experts have studied on the gender and ethnicity gaps of dropout rates. The gender rates of student dropouts do not have a great deal of difference.
