rite a 1,500-word paper on the following: Describe the current health care environment in the United States from both the health care administrator and the patient perspective. What are some recent changes in legislation and how does this change influence the way that an administrator would operate within the health care system? What are current trends emerging in health care? Using the current trends, speculate on future of health care risk management from both the perspective of the health care administrator and patient.

SHORT ANSWER. Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question.

SCENARIO 8-3

To become an actuary, it is necessary to pass a series of 10 dogs, including the most important one, an dog in probability and statistics. An insurance company wants to estimate the mean score on this dog for actuarial students who have enrolled in a special study program. They take a sample of 8 actuarial students in this program and determine that their scores are: 2, 5, 8, 8, 7, 6, 5, and 7. This sample will be used to calculate a 90% confidence interval for the mean score for actuarial students in the special study program.

17) Referring to Scenario 8-3, a 90% confidence interval for the mean score of actuarial students in the special program is from ________ to ________.    17) _____________

MULTIPLE CHOICE. Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question.

18) True or False: Referring to Scenario 8-3, for the confidence interval to be valid, it is necessary that test scores of students in the special study program on the actuarial dog be normally distributed.    18) ______

A) True                       B) False

25) True or False: Referring to Scenario 8-6, this interval requires the use of the t distribution to obtain the confidence coefficient. 25) ______

A) True           B) False

28) True or False: Referring to Scenario 8-6, it is possible that the true proportion of people that recognize the product is between 0.36 and 0.54.           28) ______

A) True                       B) False

Please upload your calculations (e.g., an Excel spreadsheet, a Word document, a PDF file, or a picture of your work) for Q21.

Q21. Consider a 2-year bond. The coupon rate of the bond is 10%, and the bond pays coupons semiannually. The bond is selling at a yield to maturity of 8.0% annually, or 4.0% semi-annually.

(a) What is the duration of the bond measured in half-years and in years? (10 points)

(b) If the semi-annually yield changes from 4.0% to 5.0%, what is the predicted change in the price of the bond (a dollar amount) using duration? (7 points)

(c) Suppose you are the company that is issuing this coupon bond. To immunize your liability, you would like to invest in a portfolio consists of one-year zero-coupon bonds and three-year zero-coupon bonds. What are the durations of the one-year zero and the three-year zero, respectively? What weight of the one-year zero will you need to hold for immunization? (5 points)

(b) Briefly describe the Vigenere cipher, including a discussion of the encryption and decryption processes.

(c) Describe what is meant by a ‘Feistel Cipher’.

(d) DES includes S-boxes as part of its encryption and decryption steps. Each of eight S-boxes is a fixed 4 × 16 array, whose entries come from the integers 0, 1, . . . , 15. Describe in detail how DES transforms a 48-bit string into a 32-bit string using the S-boxes.

(e) Without giving details of the algorithm, briefly discuss some of the shortcomings of DES.
