Sue is a customer account representative for ABC Company. She
recently acquired several new accounts when a previous
representative, Dan, took an early retirement. Sue reviewed each of
Dan’s accounts to help familiarize herself with his clients and
under- stand how she can better serve each one’s individual needs.
As she was reviewing the client list, she found a major customer
she had never heard of before. Surprised that she had not yet done
business with the company, she called it to introduce herself as
the new representative. When Sue placed the call, she found that
the reported number had been disconnected. Thinking that the
customer may have done business with ABC in the past and have moved
on, she reviewed the account transactions and found that the most
recent transaction had taken place the week prior. During her
review, she also noticed the latest transaction was for an
unusually large amount for ABC. As Sue pursued her curiosity, she
went to other employees to find out more about the company. In her
questioning, she found that none of the employees had ever heard of
the customer. Once she had run out of other avenues, Sue decided to
contact the controller to find out if he could provide any
additional information. When Sue opened the company directory, she
was amazed when she recognized his home address: it was
the same address as the mystery customer!
1. What are some of the possible scenarios for why the addresses
match?
2. What other symptoms would be present in each of the scenarios
you identified in part (1)?
3. What are the implications of the address match if the company is
private? If the company was pub- licly traded?
4. Assuming the company was preparing for an IPO, who should Sue
contact, and what should she say? 5. If Sue believes these revenues
are fictitious, what
should her next course of action be?

The electrons in the beam of a television tube have an energy of 13 keV. The tube is oriented so that the electrons move horizontally from north to south. The vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field at the location of the television has a magnitude of 42.0 ?T and is pointing down.
a) In which direction does the force on the electrons act (enter N
for north, S for South, E for East, or W for
West)?
Neglect a possible horizontal component of the magnetic field.
b) What is the magnitude of the acceleration due to the vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field of an electron in the beam?
c) If the inclination of the earth's magnetic field near the TV is 51deg, calculate the magnitude of the force on the electrons due to the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field.

Two cars collide at an intersection. Car A, with a mass of 2000 kg , is going from west to east, while car B, of mass 1300 kg , is going from north to south at 17.0 m/s . As a result of this collision, the two cars become enmeshed and move as one afterwards. In your role as an expert witness, you inspect the scene and determine that, after the collision, the enmeshed cars moved at an angle of 65.0 ∘ south of east from the point of impact.
Part A: How fast were the enmeshed cars moving just after the collision?
v=_____________m/s
Part B: How fast was car AA going just before the collision?
Va=_____________m/s

Write a class CorpData to store the following information on a company division:
a. Division name (such as East, West, North, or South)
b. First quarter sales c. Second quarter sales d. Third quarter sales e. Fourth quarter sales Include a constructor that allows the division name and four quarterly sales amounts to be specified at the time a CorpData object is created. The program should create four CorpData objects, each representing one of the following corporate divisions: East, West, North, and South. These objects should be passed one at a time, to a function that computes the division's annual sales total and quarterly average, and displays these along with the division name.

Talia and Dina are planning to meet at he YMCA, which lies 5km North of the City Hall. At 3pm, Talia heads in a straight line with constant speed toward the YMCA from a point 1km South and 3km West of the City Hall. After 5 minutes she is 2.5km West, 0km South of the City Hall
a) Let the City Hall be the origin of a coordinate system. Find the parametric equations for Talia’s route.
b)Dina starts 3km East and 1km North of the City Hall on a straight line. Given that she walks at a speed of 5km per hour, at which time should she leave so that she and Talia arrive at the same time at the YMCA?

a. bVote
b. Own Property
c. Privacy
d. None of the above
2. The author of "I Knew America Was Not Ready for a Woman to be President" explains that even though Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, she was not "hired" for president because of how the structural intersectionality of the presidency legitimizes certain identities over others.

a. True
b. False
4. Which of the following is an example of gendered emotional labor in a paid work context?

Wesley decided to invest in the Bank of America in a $
10,000 certificate of deposit for 5 years that pays an interest
rate of 3.5% annually (simple interest). Suppose that the interest
payment is sent annually to your home by check and that this money
is taxable. When the certificate matures, he will receive his $
10,000 back (non-taxable amount). Wesley's marginal tax rate is 24%
and headline inflation is expected to be 2% per year.
Determine for this investment instrument:
(a) The rate of return before tax, ignoring inflation.
(b) The rate of return after tax, ignoring inflation
(c) The rate of return after taxes, considering inflation

The largest cat in North America is the Jaguar. They can sometimes be seen in the mountains of Southern Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico, (and less recently southern California). The rate of observances by humans is about 4/20 years. Assume we don't get Trump’s border wall which would isolate the US population from the rest, and presumably cut off their chance of commuting and breeding.
a. You set up a network of automated infrared cameras from the southern border to 100 miles north of the border all along the Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico border. If the rate of appearance of Jaguars this side of the Mexican border is 4/20 year what are the chances you see 5 or more separate Jaguars within 5 years? (Assume Poisson)
b. Your cameras also produce pictures of wolf sized canids, either wolves or coy-wolves in the same region (very different times). Each year your cameras catch about 30 of these animals and about 40 cougars and about 500 bear and 1000 feral hogs. Assume that these numbers are all population rates for Poisson. Given your camera network catches a non human large animal (and the above list is all of them):
i)What is the probability it is a jaguar?
ii)What is the probability it is a feral hog?
iii)Out of 10 large nonhuman animals, what is the probability that 7 or more are feral hogs (Hint N=10, P is fixed, independent trials)
iv)Out of 100 large non human animals what is the probability that between 40 and 70 are feral hogs? (Use an approximation)
