Pick an environmental problem that affects the area where you live and decide where in the policy life cycle the problem could best be placed. Apply the cycle to this problem and describe how the problem has progressed (or will likely progress) through each stage. If your problem has not progressed to the policy adjustment stage, explain how you think the policy dealing with the problem could be adjusted, if at all.

Identifying problems.
a. Policy life
b. Recognition
c. Formulation
d. Implementation
e. Control

Collect your data and analyze your findings to measure any differences among the respondent pools.

Consider the various actions taken by college students and their institutions as described in that opens this chapter, as well as in other parts of this chapter. Which one or more of these actions would be appropriate and effective on your campus? Explain. Pick one of these actions and write a brief plan for implementing it where you go to school.

Give four examples of how colleges and universities are playing a leading role in shifting to more environmentally sustainable operations and policies.

Choose an environmental issue that you have studied in the course. It could be anything you are passionate about, such as global warming or nuclear power. Conduct a poll of students, faculty, staff, and local residents by asking them the questions below as they relate to your particular environmental issue. Poll as many people as you can in order to get a large sample. Create categories. For example, note whether each respondent is male or female. By creating such categories, you are placing each person into a respondent pool. You can add other questions about age, political leaning, and other factors to refine your pools. $\newline$

$$\begin{array}{ll} \text{Question 1} &\begin{array}{c} \text{On a scale of 1 to 10 , how knowledgeable } \\ \text{ are you about environmental issue } X ?\end{array}\\ \text{Question 2} &\begin{array}{c} \text{On a scale of 1 to 10 , how aware are you of ways in which you, } \\ \text{ as an individual, impact environmental issue } X ?\end{array}\\ \text{Question 3} &\begin{array}{c} \text{On a scale of 1 to 10 , how important is it for you to } \\ \text{ learn more about environmental issue } X ?\end{array}\\ \text{Question 4} &\begin{array}{c} \text{On a scale of 1 to 10 , how sure are you that an individual } \\ \text{ can have a positive influence on environmental issue } X ?\end{array}\\ \text{Question 5} &\begin{array}{c} \text{On a scale of 1 to 10 , how sure are you that the government is providing } \\ \text{ the appropriate level of leadership with regard to environmental issue } X ?\end{array}\\ \end{array}$$

Collect your data, and analyse your findings to measure any differences among the respondent pools.

Environmental policy is best defined as
a. the study of the connections between human systems and natural systems.
b. what humans consider right or wrong regarding how they treat the environment.
c. laws, rules, and regulations that pertain to environmental problems.
d. the study of costs and benefits of environmental policies and regulations.
e. a social movement to protect the environment.

In a large city, 34% of residents use public transportation at least once per week. Suppose the city's mayor selects a random sample of 200 residents. Let T= the number who use public transportation at least once per week. Calculate the probability that at most 60 residents in the sample use public transportation at least once per week.

Solve the problem.

Find the total premium paid over $30$ years for a whole life policy with a face value of $\$20,000$. Assume that the policy is taken out by a $25$-year-old man. $\underline{\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad}$

Tyson Iron Works is about to go public. It currently has aftertax earnings of $\$ 4,400,000$, and $4,200,000$ shares are owned by the present stockholders. The new public issue will represent 500,000 new shares. The new shares will be priced to the public at $\$ 25$ per share with a 3 percent spread on the offering price. There will also be $\$ 280,000$ in out-of-pocket costs to the corporation. Determine what rate of return must be earned on the proceeds to the corporation so there will be a 10 percent increase in earnings per share during the year of going public

Put each of the following goods or services into one of the categories shown in Figure 5.7 on page 165. That is, categorize them as private goods, public goods, quasi-public goods, or common resources.
