The belief is that mining that data provides a treasure trove for those who seek to quantify and predict future human behavior. A marketer is planning a survey of Internet users in the United States to determine social media usage. The objective of the survey is to gain insight on these three items: key social media platforms used, frequency of social media usage, and demographics of key social media platform users. a. For each of the three items listed, indicate whether the variables are categorical or numerical. If a variable is numerical, is it dis crete or continuous? b. Develop five categorical questions for the survey. c. Develop five numerical questions for the survey.arrow_forward
- The University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study (HRS) surveys more than 22,000 Americans over the age of 50 every two years. A subsample of the HRS participated in an Internet-based survey that collected information on a number of topical areas, including health (physical and mental health behaviors), psychosocial items, economics (income, assets, expectations, and consumption), and retirement. Two of the questions asked were: "Would you say your health is excellent, very good, good, fair, or poor?" and “Do you smoke cigarettes now?" Here is the two-way table that summarizes the answers on these two questions: Current smoker Нealth Yes No Excellent 25 484 Very good 115 1557 Good 145 1309 Fair 90 545 Рoor 29 11 This table gives the responses of a survey of 4310 Americans to questions about their health and whether they currently smoke cigarettes.

Less overt health implications may also occur within affected communities. The health consequences of mass shootings as well as violence, terrorism, and war disproportionately affect children because the periods of fetal development, infancy, and young childhood are especially sensitive to adverse shocks and stress. The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to assess changes in newborn birthweight in U.S. communities where a mass shooting took place. Methods: This study ascertains whether exposure to a mass shooting in the county of birth adversely affected subsequent birthweight through community bereavement and stress. All births records from 1982-2002 in counties where a mass shooting took place were used; newborns were compared within-counties. A total of 3.2 million births were included in the analysis as well as 61…arrow_forwardWhat would be a easy suitable research design for this topic.

- I need help with this question.arrow_forwardIn August and September 2005, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita caused extraordinary flooding in New Orleans, Louisiana. Many homes were severely damaged or destroyed; of those that survived, many required extensive cleaning. It was thought that cleaning flood-damaged homes might present a health hazard due to the large amounts of mold present in many of the homes. The article “Health Effects of Exposure to Water-Damaged New Orleans Homes Six Months After Hurricanes Katrina and Rita” (K. Cummings, J. Cox-Ganser, et al., American Journal of Public Health, 2008:869–875) reports that in a sample of 365 residents of Orleans Parish who had participated in the cleaning of one or more homes, 77 had experienced symptoms of wheezing, and in a sample of 179 residents who had not participated in cleaning, 23 reported wheezing symptoms (numbers read from a graph). Can you conclude that the frequency of wheezing symptoms is greater among those residents who participated in the cleaning of flood-damaged…arrow_forwardThe effect of aid is a subject of considerable academic and policy interest. In this question we examine the relationship between foreign aid and civil conflict using a recent paper by Crost et al. (2014) in the Philippines. The authors collect data on civil conflict related incidents at the municipality level as well as information on aid receipts at the municipality level. The conflict data was collected from the Philippine military and provides casualty counts (as well as the party responsible) by municipality. Aid in this context refers to a large anti-poverty program (the KALAHI-CIDSS) funded by the World Bank and run from 2003-2008. The program provided cash grants to municipalities to build infrastructure such as roads, water-systems, clinics and schools. The grants were fairly large and accounted for approximately 15% of the annual budget for the average municipality. (a) Let Yi denote the number of conflict casualties in municipality i in a given timeperiod after the…arrow_forward
