Of what significance was the Roosevelt Corollary to U.S. foreign policy between 1890 and 1920?

The Orange County Department of Public Health tests water for contamination due to the presence of E. coli (Escherichia coli) bacteria. To reduce laboratory costs, water samples from six public swimming areas are combined for one test, and further testing is done only if the combined sample fails. Based on past results, there is a 2% chance of finding E. coli bacteria in a public swimming area. Find the probability that a combined sample from six public swimming areas will reveal the presence of E. coli bacteria.

Define each of the following terms:

Target payout ratio; optimal dividend policy

Given the following class (only shown in fragments here),

public class Screen {
    public Screen(int xRes, int yRes) { ...
    }
    public int numberOfPixels() { ...
    }
    public void clear(boolean invert) { ...
    }
}

write some lines of Java code that create a Screen object. Then call its clear method if (and only if) its number of pixels is greater than two million. (Don’t worry about things being logical here; the goal is only to write something that is syntactically correct—i.e., that would compile if we typed it in.)

Describe the roles of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government in the environmental policy process.

Show the output of the following programs. (Hint: Draw a table and list the variables in the columns to trace these programs.)

• a

public class Test {
    /** Main method */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        for (int i = 1; i < 5; i++) {
            int j = 0;
            while (j < i) {
                System.out.print(j + " ");
                j++;

Complete the following code, replacing the "FINISH ME" parts with your own code:

public class Count2 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        for (int i = /* FINISH ME */) {
            System.out.println(/* FINISH ME */);
        }
    }

To protect her inventory, Olivet, owner of an appliance store, carried a coinsurance fire policy. The policy required that Olivet carry insurance in the amount of 80 percent of the current inventory value. Late one night, fire totally destroyed the inventory, which was valued at $100,000 when the loss occurred. The face value of Olivet’s policy was$80,000. For how much of the $100,000 loss will the insurance company pay?

What is the output of the following code ? public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { java.math.BigInteger x = new java.math.BigInteger("3"); java.math.BigInteger y = new java.math.BigInteger("7"); java.math.BigInteger z = x.add(y); System.out.println("x is " + x); System.out.println("y is " + y); System.out.println("z is " + z); } }

A survey was conducted to determine student, faculty, and administration abilities about a new university parking policy. The distribution of those favoring or opposing the policy is shown in the table. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that attitudes about the parking policy are independent of student, faculty, or administration status?

Opinion, Student, Faculty, Administration Favor, 252, 107, 43 Oppose, 139, 81, 40

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.

Recessions in 1990-1991 and in 2001 lasted about eight months each and were relatively mild in their effects on the overall economy. Why would policy lags limit the effectiveness of discretionary fiscal policy in bringing the country out of such recessions?

Do you think that the policy was in the best interests of the United States? Justify your a
