2, Inverse mutual funds, sometimes referred to as "bear market" or "short" funds, seek to deliver the opposite of the performance of the index or category they track, and can thus be used by traders to bet against the stock market. This question is based on the following table, which shows the performance of three such funds as of February 27, 2015.

Year-to-date Loss
SHPIX (Short Smallcap Profund) 4%
RYURX (Rydex Inverse S&P 500) 3%
RYCWX (Rydex Inverse Dow) 6%

You invested a total of $11,000 in the three funds at the beginning of 2015, including an equal amount in RYURX and RYCWX. Your year-to-date loss from the first two funds amounted to $290. How much did you invest in each of the three funds?

At the end of a certain year, the four companies with the largest number of home Internet users in the United States were Microsoft, Time Warner, Yahoo, and Google, with a combined audience of 284 million users. Taking x to be the Microsoft audience in millions, y the Time Warner audience in millions, z the Yahoo audience in millions, and u the Google audience in millions, it was observed that

z u = 3(xy) + 22
x + y = 44 + z + u
and   x y + z u = 46.

3, How large was the audience of each of the four companies at the end of that year?

Microsoft     million
Time Warner     million
Yahoo     million

A travel insurance policy for cruise vacations is an option that passengers can choose to purchase if they are worried they may miss their cruise due to illness or travel complications. For a cruise package that costs $1000, the cruise line offers an insurance policy such that, if the traveler does not make it to their cruise due to illness or travel complications, will refund the passenger the full $1000 dollars cost of their tickets. The policy costs $75. The cruise line knows that historically 5% of passengers will miss their cruise due to illness or travel complications. What is the expected value of the insurance policy for the cruise line? (Hint: setup a probability distribution with the two possible outcomes and calculate the mean.)

Show work please. So confused.
