The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The differing ideological positions on the structure and function of the federal government are basically the following: liberals and conservatives.

Liberals agree on the idea that the government supports equality for the citizens. They agree on getting more government money to be used in the creation of more social programs aimed to help the ones in need. Sometimes this means increasing taxes to get the money for social programs. Liberals also support the government in creating legislation that promotes diversity, tolerance, and immigration.

Conservatives do not agree with the idea of a government that promotes equality. They support the government to promote order and respect in society, although equality is not one of their priorities. They also support the government to create strict legislation to support traditional American values, suppress abortion, and increases military expenditure.

These two ideological positions are part of the division of power of the federal government into three branches, under the system of checks and balances.

<h3>What is probability? </h3>

Probability can be defined as the likelihood of an event to occur. In statistics, the mean of the sample distribution typically shows the probability of the population.

From the parameters given:

The sample size (n) = 55 patients
Let's assume that the mean (x) = 32 (i.e. 58.2%) of the patients

The sample proportion $\mathbf{\hat p}$ can be computed by using the expression:

$\mathbf{\hat p = \dfrac{x}{n}}$

$\mathbf{\hat p = \dfrac{32}{55}}$

$\mathbf{\hat p =0.582}$

If the percentage of the probability of all patients in the emergency room = 0.75

The probability that the proportion of patients who wait less than 30 minutes is 0.582 or less can be computed as:

$\mathbf{( \hat P \leq 0.582) = P \Big( \dfrac{\hat p - p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}} \leq \dfrac{0.582 - 0.75}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.75(1-0.75)}{55}}} \Big )}$
