Title: “Evaluating the Cost-Effectiveness of an Early Warning System for Flooding in NSW”
Recent research on climate change predicts that extreme
weather will increase the risk of severe and mild flooding in the next two
years. The study also finds that if any flooding event happens this year, there
will be no risk of flooding occurring in the following year.
The research suggested a 40 percent chance of severe
flooding at the end of this year (๐๐น1โ) and a 20 percent chance of
mild flooding (๐๐F1โ). Otherwise, there will be no flooding (๐NF1โ). If there is no flooding this
year, there is still a 30 percent chance of severe flooding and a 10 percent
probability of mild flooding in the next year (๐๐F2โ).
In response, the NSW government is considering two
strategies:
S1:
Investing in an early warning system โ or the system (E)
S2:
Not investing in the new system, remaining in the status quo (NE).
To install the system, the NSW Government must spend
$1,350,000 on the systemโs development (๐ถ๐ โ) and $200,000 on the
installation cost (๐ถC). Once installed, the system would
last for 20 years. Note that the government may also install the system next
year if they decide not to install it this year.
Economists hired by the government estimated the social cost
of the floods. Without an early warning system, the cost of severe and mild
flooding to society is estimated at $4.5 million (๐ถ๐๐น|๐๐ธโ) and $2.5 million (๐ถ๐๐น|๐๐ธ),
respectively. The government can respond swiftly and evacuate earlier using the
early warning system. Given that, severe flooding and mild flooding would only
cost the economy $1.5 million (๐ถ๐๐น|๐ธโ) and $50,000 (๐ถ๐๐น|๐ธโ), respectively.
(a) Construct the decision tree with all the relevant
nodes. Label each branch with corresponding probabilities and outcomes. Use a
rectangular shape to represent the decision node and a circle shape to
represent the chance node.
(b) Discuss your decision tree. Explain what your
decision rule is according to the graph.
(c) Suppose the social discount rate is 6%; which
policy should the government undertake at the beginning of this year? -
“Survival Analysis of Breast Cancer Patients: A Kaplan-Meier Approach”
Using the Clinical Trial on breast cancer dataset. Perform a Kaplan-Meier Analysis or the Log-Rank Test to determine the survival curve for the breast cancer survivors. H0 The risk of 50% of the participants dying from breast cancer will occur within five years. (Null Hypothesis) H1 The risk of 50% of the participants dying from breast cancer does not occur within five years. (Alternative Hypothesis) Ensure to submit the following requirements for the assignment: Review the analysis from the standpoint of how many patients survive over the seven-year time period that the clinical trial covered. Present your findings as a Survival Time chart in a Word document, with a title page, introduction explaining why you would conduct a survival analysis, a discussion where you interpret the meaning of the survival analysis, and a conclusion should be included. Your submission should be 2-3 pages to discuss and display your findings. Provide support for your statements with in-text citations from a minimum of two scholarly, peer-reviewed articles. One of these sources may be from the class readings, textbook, or lectures, but the others must be external. The Saudi Digital Library is a good place to find these sources and should be your primary resource for conducting research. Follow APA 7th edition and Saudi Electronic University writing standards.

“Calculating the Cost of College: A Personalized Financial Plan”
Cost of College Project
1. ACADEMIC PLAN
In this assignment, you will develop an estimate of the cost of your college education.
Write 2-3 sentences summarizing your academic goals. Indicate your major (if you have
chosen one) and all levels of the degree(s) you hope to earn. (Associates, Bachelors,
Masters, or Doctorate degree) If you are likely to attend any colleges in addition to Rose
State College, include them in your summary. Also indicate your intended career path.
In what job or field of work do you hope to to find yourself when your degree is
complete?
2. CALCULATE TUITION AND FEES
Look up the number of credit hours you will have to earn for the degree(s) you are
pursuing and the rate of tuition and hourly fees for the college(s) you plan to attend. Use
the box below to explain (in detail) how you would calculate the cost of your degree(s).
Remember unit pricing for college tuition and fees is defined by the number of credit
hours. State the unit price for tuition and fees (per credit hour) for the college(s) you
plan to attend, then show how the unit price is used to compute your total cost of
earning a degree. What TOTAL amount of money will your degrees cost? (Do not
include books or living expenses. Do not include discounts in the form of scholarships,
grants, or GI money.) Note: Associates degrees require a minimum of 62 hours.
Bachelors degrees require a minimum of 124 hours total. (includes the 62 hours earned
at Associate level)
3. STUDENT LOANS
Pretend you are going to borrow the full amount of tuition and fees needed to earn your
degree(s). This is the amount you calculated in the previous question. Do some research
on current interest rates for student loans. Then, use an online loan calculator to
determine what your monthly payment would be for a 15 year loan at the current interest
rate. Your response should include the following.
โ Total amount borrowed
โ Rate of interest
โ Monthly Loan Payment
โ Total amount of interest paid over the life of the loan
โ Total installment price (total principal & interest)
4. COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Do some research on starting salaries for the job or field of work in which you hope to
find yourself upon graduation. In the box below, write a paragraph summarizing the
impact a student loan would have on your monthly income. Your response should
include the following.
โ Job title or role in a specific field of work
โ Realistic annual salary based on your education and experience
โ Projected monthly income
โ Calculated monthly loan payment (from previous question)
โ What percent of your monthly income will go toward the student loan?
5. KEEPING IT REAL
Think about how closely this exercise models your situation. How are you actually
covering the cost of your tuition and fees? (out of your own pocket, family funds,
scholarship money, financial aid, GI bill, etc.) If you are paying your own way through
college, will you use a student loan to complete your degree? In the box below, write a
paragraph summarizing how your particular circumstances may resemble or vary from
the scenario laid out in this assignment, and indicate any adjustments you would make in
your own plans.
ATTACHED IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE COLLEGE PRICES. I ONLY PLAN ON OBTAINING MY ASSOCIATES DEGREE. MY COLLEGE IS BEING PAID BY THE PELL GRANT AND NOTHING OUT OF POCKET. I DO NOT PLAN TO WORK IN THE FIELD MY DEGREE IS IN CURRENTLY WORKING IN THE MENTAL HEALTH FIELD PLAN TO STAY THERE P AY IS 19.48 HRLY -
