A family took a 20 year mortgage of $195,000 at 5.75% per year compounded monthly. Immediately after the 85th monthly payment, they decided to re-finance this mortgage because they found a lower rate of 3.75% per month compounded monthly. If they continue the same amount of monthly payments as before, how long will it take to pay off this mortgage?

Suppose the correlation between first year GPA and second year GPA is 0.7. Assuming a close to linear relationship between GPAs in first year and in second year, what is the approximate average z-score in second year of students who had a z-score of 1.5 in their first-year GPA?

What is the average first-year z-score of students who have a z-score of 1.5 in their second-year GPA?

It seems that, on average, students who do well in first year do better than average in second year but not quite as well as they did in first year. And students who do better than average in second year did, on average, better than average in first year but not quite as well as they did in second year. Whichever way you go, from first year to second year, or from second year to first year, it looks like the grades are getting closer to the average.

Is this a contradiction? Is there an explanation for it? If you need a diagram to help explain it, go ahead a draw one

suppose that Ramos contributes $5000/year into a traditional IRA earning interest at the rate of 2%/year compounded annually, every year after age 37 until his retirement at age 67. At the same time, his wife Vanessa deposits $3500/year (the amount after paying taxes at the rate of 30%) into a Roth IRA earning interest at the same rate as that of Ramos. Suppose that Ramos withdraws his investment upon retirement at age 67 and that his investment is then taxed at 30%. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)

(a) How much will Ramos's investment be worth (after taxes) at that time? $

(b) How much will Vanessa's investment be worth at that time? $
