With a certain medical insurance policy, the customer must first pay an annual $100 deductible, and then the policy covers 80% of the cost of x-rays. The first insurance claims for a specific year submitted by a person are for two x-rays. The first x-ray cost $620, and the second x-ray cost $960. How much, in total, will he need to pay for these x-rays?

Assume the a star orbits the center of the Galaxy in 340 million years at a distance of 40,000 light-years. Given that D3=(M1+M2)×P2D3=(M1+M2)×P2, where DD is the orbital distance (in AUs) and PP is the orbital period (in years), what is the mass of the Galaxy within the star's orbit? (Hint: 1 light-year = 63,240 AU).

Ike’s Bikes is a major manufacturer of bicycles. Currently, the company produces bikes using only one factory. However, it is considering expanding production to two or even three factories. The following table shows the company’s short-run average total cost (SRATC) each month for various levels of production if it uses one, two, or three factories. (Note: Q equals the total quantity of bikes produced by all factories.)

Suppose Ike’s Bikes is currently producing 25 bikes per month in its only factory. Its short-run average total cost is
per bike.
Suppose Ike’s Bikes is expecting to produce 25 bikes per month for several years. In this case, in the long run, it would choose to produce bikes using .
On the following graph, plot the three SRATC curves for Ike’s Bikes from the previous table. Specifically, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot its SRATC curve if it operates one factory (SRATC1SRATC1); use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot its SRATC curve if it operates two factories (SRATC2SRATC2); and use the orange points (square symbol) to plot its SRATC curve if it operates three factories (SRATC3SRATC3). Finally, plot the long-run average total cost (LRATC) curve for Ike’s Bikes using the blue points (circle symbol).
Note: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected. Line segments will connect the points automatically.

1. A large insurance company wants to determine whether the proportion of male policyholders who would not submit auto insurance claims of under $500 is the same as the proportion of female policyholders who do not submit claims of under $500. A random sample of 400 male policyholders produced 272 who had not submitted claims of under $500, whereas a random sample of 300 female policyholders produced 183 who had not submitted claims of under $500
a) Construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of males and of females who had not submitted auto insurance claims of under $500.
b) Find the p-value of the appropriate test.
In a random sample of 10 LAS students, the sample mean time spent studying during a particular week was 15.7 hours with sample standard deviation 3.1 hours. In a random sample of 8 Engineering students, the sample mean time studying during the same week was 20.2 hours per month with sample standard deviation 4.4 hours. Assume that the two populations are normally distributed.
a) Assume that the two population variances are equal. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the overall average times Engineering and LAS students spent studying during this week.
b) Since the larger sample variance is more than twice as big as the smaller one, the assumption of equal variances is questionable here. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the overall average times Engineering and LAS students spent studying during this week without assuming that the two population variances are equal. Use Welch’s T.

What time of hypothesis testing can you do for this research question?
The main question is: What is the relationship between "US politics influence” and the “use of health care”?
Which variables can you test in order to see the relationship between "US politics influence” and the “use of health care”
(For example: in 2018, the Trump administration cut back on a lot of health care policies therefore I can test the relationship between death in a hospital and the amount of people not covered by insurance for the year 2018 vs. the relationship between death in a hospital and the amount of people not covered by insurance for the year 2016 (when Obama was in office)
What hypothesis testing can be done in order to see if the
relationship exists?

The Blue Sky Flight Insurance Company insures passengers against air disasters, charging a prospective passenger $20 for coverage on a single plane ride. In the event of a fatal air disaster, it pays out $300,000 to the named beneficiary. In the event of a nonfatal disaster, it pays out an average of $75,000 for hospital expenses. Given that the probability of a plane's crashing on a single trip† is 0.00000087, and assuming that a passenger involved in a plane crash has a 0.9 chance of being killed, determine the profit (or loss) per passenger that the insurance company expects to make on each trip. HINT [Use a tree to compute the probabilities of the various outcomes.] Should the insurance company expect a profit or loss on each trip? profit loss What is the value of the profit (or loss)?
