Cоnsider the fоllоwing exаmple of inductive reаsoning:352 аdult residents of Kansas age 18 and older were recently surveyed to assess their attitudes and opinions regarding various issues of interest to Kansas citizens. This was a 16% response rate, meaning that 2200 people were contacted. Those contacted were drawn from a pool of potential survey participants pre-selected to be representative of the overall Kansas population with regard to three variables: gender, age, and metro/non-metro residency. Where the respondents deviated from known demographics -- e.g., when more women responded than their proportion in the general population -- the survey results were weighted to correct for these deviations. Among the data generated by the survey, 88.1% of the respondents supported "requiring background checks on all gun sales" (73.5% "strongly support," and 14.6% "somewhat support"). They concluded that if all adult Kansas residents were surveyed, it is 95% probable that these findings (88.1% in favor; 73.5 % strongly, 14.6% somewhat) would be found, with a margin of error of plus or minus 5.2%. In other words, they were highly confident that support among Kansans for requiring background checks on all gun sales fell in the range of 82.9% to 93.3%.Given the following modification of the argument, indicate two things: (1) if it strengthens the argument (makes it more likely that the conclusion is true), weakens the argument (makes this less likely), or has no effect, and (2) why you think this is so.Only 100 people were contacted, but 78 of them completed the survey, a much higher response rate.

Chооse оne (1) of the two (2) essаy topics listed below аnd write аn essay that effectively responds to the prompt. Include relevant and specific facts that will bolster the argument you make in your essay and indicate your mastery of the relevant content we have covered in Housing Policy so far this semester. Pay attention to the structure of your essay, including introductory and concluding paragraphs and be sure to develop a logical flow to your argument. Creating a brief outline to help you organize your thoughts before you begin writing might be a good idea, but I will only assess the quality of your essay. (140 points total) What do you believe are the three most effective actions that municipal governments in the U.S. can take to increase housing affordability for their residents? What evidence supports your choices? You may wish to consider regulatory and non-regulatory approaches in your response. Focusing on the federal level of government in the U.S., what role has the government played in promoting or reinforcing racial housing discrimination? On the other hand, in thinking about major federal laws and programs seeking to address discrimination in housing, how has the federal government sought to reduce housing discrimination?
