...Demography and Health: Question What was the annual incidence rate of Aids per 100,000 populations of Hispanics The annual incident rate of Aids is the number of new cases of AIDS in the population of Hispanic, the following information is provided:
-New cases of AIDS reported in Hispanics in 1991: 95

Incidence rate = 20.98149
This means that there were 20.98 new incidences of Aids per 100,000...

The health care system in my home country of the United States will need to adapt to the changing demographics by learning how to deal with continued influxes of immigrants.

In this article, I found the following opinion very interesting: “This campus should look like California” (Daily Californian, 2012). Thus: does it mean that UC Berkeley should follow race proportion in California when making its admission decisions or it should decide based solely on each student’s ability?
In this paper, I am going to analyze the factors that can lead to one race having a bigger proportion than the others in UC Berkeley. I am going to compare average SAT scores, parent’s education, and family income level across different races in California... Introduction ...
