Scott and Linda have been saving to pay for their daughter Casie's college education. Casie just turned 10 at (t = 0), and she will be entering college 8 years from now (at t = 8). College tuition and expenses at State U. are currently$14,500 a year, but they are expected to increase at a rate of 3.5% a year. Ellen should graduate in 4 years¾if she takes longer or wants to go to graduate school, she will be on her own. Tuition and other costs will be due at the beginning of each school year (at t = 8, 9, 10, and 11). So far, Scott and Linda have accumulated $15,000 in their college savings account (at t = 0). Their long-run financial plan is to add an additional$5,000 in each of the next 4 years (at t = 1, 2, 3, and 4). Then they plan to make 3 equal annual contributions in each of the following years, t = 5, 6, and 7. They expect their investment account to earn 9%. How large must the annual payments at t = 5, 6, and 7 be to cover Casie's anticipated college costs?

This morning the office you are monitoring has eight office visits on the schedule. What is the probability of the following? (a) At least half the patients are under 15 years old. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) Explain how this can be modeled as a binomial distribution with 8 trials, where success is visitor age is under 15 years old and the probability of success is 20%?
