On July​ 1, 2000, the New York Mets reached an agreement with Bobby Bonilla to defer the remaining​ $5.9 million on​ Bonilla’s contract​ (with interest), which would have otherwise been due to be paid immediately. The deferment agreement called for the salary to be paid in 25 equal​ installments, with the first payment being made on July​ 1, 2011. The agreement stipulated that the relevant interest rate applied to this deal would be​ 9%. Beginning on July​ 1, 2011​ (and every July 1 for the following 24​ years), how much was Bobby Bonilla paid by the​ Mets? In other​ words, what is the value of each annual salary​ installment? ​(Please note: The details of the above agreement have been altered slightly from the actual scenario presented in the weekly​ lecture.) The annual salary installment paid to Bobby Bonilla each​ year, beginning on July​ 1, 2011,​ is: ​$ nothing ​(round your answer to the nearest​ dollar)

The rate of economic growth per capita in France from 1996 to 2000 was 1.9% per year, while in Korea over the same period it was 4.2%. Per capita real GDP was $28,900 in France in 2003, and $12,700 in Korea. Assume the growth rates for each country remain the same.

1. Compute the doubling time for France’s per capita real GDP.
2. Compute the doubling time for Korea’s per capita real GDP.
3. What will France’s per capita real GDP be in 2045?
4. What will Korea’s per capita real GDP be in 2045?

Data show that an average Canadian and American citizens hold CA $ 1500 and US 2000 of their currency respectively . Since money is bulky , it can be stolen , pays no interest and in general we do not see our fellow Canadians holding $ 1500 in where are these dollars and who is holding them ?

On January 1, 2000 an insurance company has a lump-sum of 450000 which is due to Linden as a life insurance death benefit. He (Linden) chooses to receive the benefit annually over a period of 20 years via equal size payments. The first payment is received on Dec. 31, 2000, and each subsequent payment is made at the end of each of the following years. The yearly benefit that Linden receives is based on valuing the lump-sum (i.e. the 450000) at an effective interest rate of 4% per year. However, the insurance company earns interest at an effective interest rate of 5% per year. Furthermore, every July 1 (the middle of the year) the company pays 500 in expenses and taxes to maintain the policy. At the end of the 20-year period, after the last payment is made to Linden, the company has X remaining. Calculate X. Give your answer rounded to the nearest whole number. Hint: You are basically subtracting out the “time-value” of the annual benefits and the “time value” of the taxes/fees from the “time-value” of the lump-sum.

1.   A physician orders 2000 units of heparin to be administered by intravenous infusion per hour. The pharmacy provides a heparin IV bag containing 25,000 units of heparin in 250 ml of D5W.  How many ml should be administered per minutes?

2.A male patient weighing 85 kg is placed on heparin therapy for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis after surgery. How many ml of a heparin injection containing 5000 units/ml should be administered for a loading dose of 75 units/kg?

3.  Following the question 2, what should be the infusion rate in ml/hr, using a solution that contains heparin 25000 units/500 ml, to administer 18 units/kg/hr?

Consider the following data:

Number of Deaths in the U.S. by Drug Overdose

Year 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008

Deaths 17,054 17,514 14,315 13,332 17,775 14,556 11,151 18,650 16,647

Step 1 of 2 : Find the two-period moving average for the year 2003. If necessary, round your answer to one decimal place.

3. From 2000-2019 there were a total of 3071 earthquakes worldwide with a magnitude of 6 or greater, or an average of about 0.42 such earthquakes per day.* Assume that moving forward the total number of such earthquakes to occur over any time period follows a Poisson distribution with an average of 0.42 earthquakes per day. For the remainder of this question, “earthquake” will mean an earthquake with a magnitude of 6 or greater. Define a new random variable as necessary in each part of this question.

(a) What is the probability that there are no earthquakes during a single day?

(b) What is the probability that there are at least three earthquakes during a single week?

FUN FACT: When the number of events over any time interval follow a Poisson distribution, the time between any two events follows an exponential distribution with a mean equal to the reciprocal of the mean for the Poisson distribution. Therefore the time between two earthquakes follows an exponential distribution with an average of about 2.38 days. Answer the following three questions using the exponential distribution.

(c) What is the probability that the time between two earthquakes will be less than three days?

(d) If an earthquake just occurred, what is the probability that the time until the next earthquake will be more than 12 hours but less than 24 hours? (e) What is the median time between two earthquakes?

This is a summary from Physics World of the paper: L J Wang et al. 2000 Nature 406 277-- "Wang and colleagues begin by using a third continuous-wave laser to confirm that there are two peaks in the gain spectrum and that the refractive index does indeed change rapidly with wavelength in between. Next they send a 3.7-microsecond long laser pulse into the caesium cell, which is 6 centimetres long, and show that, at the correct wavelength, it emerges from the cell 62 nanoseconds sooner than would be expected if it had travelled at the speed of light. 62 nanoseconds might not sound like much, but since it should only take 0.2 nanoseconds for the pulse to pass through the cell, this means that the pulse has been travelling at 310 times the speed of light. Moreover, unlike previous superluminal experiments, the input and output pulse shapes are essentially the same."

I realise that the velocity of light in a medium is comprised of the phase velocity, the group velocity, and the front velocity. While the group velocity can exceed the value of c in a vacuum, the front velocity is not supposed to. The way this sounds, the front velocity is exceeding c in a vacuum by 310 times.
blue dot=phase velocity, green=group, red=front (wiki)

The wavepacket seems to exit the cell well before it enters, but the negative refractive index "forward shifts" the leading edge of the pulse. It is argued that although this is superluminal, information cannot be transmitted faster than c. Gauthier and Stenner introduced a jump discontinuity into the waveform.Its max speed was c Here is a popular account from NewScientist . What if you used one photon? What if the photon itself were the information and not a carrier?

Cigar smoking and cancer. The Journal of the National Cancer Institute (Feb. 16, 2000) published the results of a study that investigated the association between cigar smoking and death from tobacco-related cancers. Data were obtained for a national sample of 137,243 American men. The results are summarized in the table below. Each male in the study was classified according to his cigar-smoking status and whether or not he died from a tobacco-related cancer.

Find the Odds Ratio for Dying versus Not Dying from Cancer for a Current Smoker compared with a Never Smoker. Hint, you must do the odds for each group first. The current smoker is the numerator for the odds ratio. Use 4 significant decimal places for your answer, and use the proper rules of rounding. I am looking for just the answer, not the equation.
