In 2015, over 30,00030,000 Americans died from opioid overdoses, and the number of inpatient stays and emergency visits to hospitals related to opioids increased dramatically compared to previous years. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) have partnered with the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) to gather data on opioid-related deaths and hospitalizations. These data include information about inpatient stays, emergency department visits, age, sex, income, and opioid-related use. For a given patient admitted to a hospital for an opioid-related event, identify which of these events are disjoint.
A) The patient was 62 years old.
B) The patient did not visit the emergency room.
C) The patient was male.
D) The patient was admitted to a large metropolitan hospital.

This index and similar indexes are designed to move up or down before the economy begins to move the same way. Thus, an economist has statistical evidence to forecast future trends.You want to construct a leading indicator for Erie County in upstate New York. The index is to be based on 2000 data. Because of the time and work involved, you decide to use only four time series. As an experiment, you select these four series: unemployment in the county, a composite index of county stock prices, the County Price Index, and retail sales. Here are the figures for 2000 and 2018. The weights you assign are unemployment rate 20%, stock prices 40%, County Price Index 25%, and retail sales 15%. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.) a.
