Suzanne opens an account at a local bank on January 1, 2004 with a deposit of 4000 dollars. On October 1, 2004 she withdraws 1430 dollars. On April 1, 2005 she withdraws 850 dollars. And on April 1, 2007 she deposits 2090 dollars. Find the total present value of these transactions on July 1, 2006, if the account earns interest at a nominal rate of 7.6 percent convertible quarterly.

The solutions I've found on the website have not taken into account the future deposit and are incorrect, any suggestions?

A polling organization conducted telephone surveys in March of 2004, 2005 and 2006. In each year, 1001 people age 18 or older were asked about whether they planned to use a credit card to pay federal income taxes that year. The data are given in the accompanying table. Is there evidence that the proportion falling in the three credit card response categories is not the same for all three years? Test the relevant hypotheses using a 0.05 significance level. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Assignment 5B: Moneyball: Part 2. Similar to the previous assignment, you’re going to read in the number of years the player played and the starting year of that player – followed by the statistics for those years. This time, however, you’re going to print out the years from worst to best in sorted order. Hint: this will require a second array to store years. If you can sort one array, can you sort both?

Sample Output #1: Enter the number of years: 5 Enter the starting year: 2003 Enter stat for year 2003: 5 Enter stat for year 2004: 4 Enter stat for year 2005: 7 Enter stat for year 2006: 1 Enter stat for year 2007: 3 2006|2007|2004|2003|2005| Sample Output #2: Enter the number of years: 6 Enter the starting year: 1879 Enter stat for year 1879: 70 Enter stat for year 1880: 89 Enter stat for year 1881: 111 Enter stat for year 1882: 65 Enter stat for year 1883: 105 Enter stat for year 1884: 98 1882|1879|1880|1884|1883|1881|
