1. A physician wishes to administer 1,700,000 units of penicillin G potassium every 4 hours. If 1 unit of penicillin G potassium (C16H17KN2O4S: m.w. 372) equals 0.8 mcg, how many milliequivalents of K+ will the patient receive in a 24-hour period?
2. How many millimoles of calcium gluconate (Ca(C6H11O7)2: m.w. 430) are represented in 10 mL of a 20% w/v calcium gluconate solution?

GDP? Will the change in spending be greater than, less than or equal to the
change in the equilibrium GDP?
purchases and taxes increase by $50,000. Solve for the new equilibrium GDP that
will result from these two changes.
If M increases by $20000, solve for the new equilibrium GDP that will result.

1) If the boys and girls have the same probabilities of being born. What is the probability that a family of 5 children selected randomly has atleast one boy?
2) Of the pieces produced by a machine in particular, 0.8% are defective. If an aleatory sample of 8 pieces produced by this machine contains two or more defective pieces, the machine will be turned off to make reparations. Find the probability that the machine would turn off for reparations based on the sampling plan.

A mutual fund manager expects his portfolio to earn a rate of return of 11 percent this year. The beta of the portfolio is 0.8. If the market risk premium is 10 percent and the risk-free rate is 4 percent, is it a good idea to invest? How could you use a stock index fund (S&P 500 index) and risk-free fund (invested in T-bills) to create a portfolio with the same risk as the manager, but a higher return?

Stock A has an expected return of 12%, a standard deviation of 24% on its returns, and a beta of 1.2. Stock B has an expected return of 15%, a standard deviation of 30% on its returns, and a beta of 1.5. The correlation between the two stocks is 0.8. If we invested $30,000 in Stock A and $20,000 in Stock B, what is the beta of our portfolio?
