Detail some of happened during the unexpected and deadly Texas winter storm that struck Texas, including Houston and South Texas costing the state millions of dollars in damage and, according to some estimates, from the low 100s to up to 200 deaths of people from the single-digit freezing temperatures and massive state-wide power outages in homes throughout Texas.

An official at FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Agency) wants to determine if they should work with the U.S. Small Business Administration to offer low-interest disaster loans to businesses in cities in Texas due to the recent severe winter storms. If data suggests that the proportion of businesses severely affected by the severe winter storm in a given city is more than 10%, they will offer the low-interest disaster loans in that city. A random sample of 110 businesses from Dallas indicates that 17 of them were severely affected by the severe winter storm. Do the data provide the significant evidence that would lead FEMA to offer these low-interest disaster loans at the 0.05 level? Based on your conclusion, what type of error could you have just made? Describe a consequence of making this type of error.

Galveston, TX is almost due east of San Antonio, TX. The chart to the right (from weather.com) shows the average high temperatures for San Antonio (blue) and Galveston (red). In terms of the molecular properties of water, why is the temperature in San Antonio hotter in the summer then in Galveston? San Antonio has more thermal hot springs which elevate the temperature. The humidity in San Antonio is higher, water in the air absorbs heat and makes people feel more hot. The elevation of San Antonio is higher then Galveston. Due to the high heat capacity of water, the Gulf of Mexico near Galveston absorbs large amounts

In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina damaged or destroyed oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, refineries along the Gulf coast, and the pipeline infrastructure that transports oil and gas to customers across the eastern United States. The winter of 2006 was unusually cold in many parts of the country. How did these events affect the market (equilibrium) price and quantity for natural gas
