Which list contains 3 Deductions FOR Adjusted Gross Income.

Suppose that the security code for a particular automobile’s locks consists of 4 bytes of data transmitted via a low power radio. A byte is either sent correctly or is distorted by interference. The car locks are only opened if all 4 bytes are received correctly. Let C be the event that a byte is received correctly and F be the event that the byte is distorted in transmission. Then CCCC would mean that all four bytes were received correctly and the car locks will open, etc.

a) List the elements of the sample space for the transmission of the security code. Now let B be the event that the ith byte is received correctly.

b) List the elements of the events B1, B2, B3, and B4. Are these events disjoint?

c) List the sample points that constitute each of the following events and describe the events

in words:

i) B₁^C

ii) B₁ U B₂

iii) B₁ ? B₂

iv) B₁ ? B₂ ? B₃ ? B₄

v) B₁ ? B₂ ? B₃ ? B₄^C

vi) (B₁ U B₂ U B₃ U B₄)^C

Assume the following information:

90?day U.S. interest rate = 4%

90?day Malaysian interest rate = 3%

90?day forward rate of Malaysian ringgit = $.400

Spot rate of Malaysian ringgit = $.404

Assume that the Santa Barbara Co. in the United States will need 500,000 ringgit in 90 days. It wishes to hedge this payables position. Would it be better off using a forward hedge or a money market hedge? Substantiate your answer with estimated costs for each type of hedge.

1.Suppose the combined weight of Santa and your large gift so big and heavy that it increased the earth’s wobble and tilted the planet on its axis to 24 degrees. Would the winter be longer or shorter? your location: North America ( Detroit)

2. Suppose a golden plover, who are renowned for their migrations, left the North Pole for the South Pole. What longitudinal line should the bird follow for the shortest distance to travel? Why is it shortest? Hint: This would also be the shortest route for a whale.

Addressing COVID-19 is a pressing health and social concern. To date, many epidemic projections and policies addressing COVID-19 have been designed without seroprevalence1 data to inform epidemic parameters. A study published on April 11 stirred huge public/media/government interest. It measured the seroprevalence of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, name of the virus causing COVID-19, in Santa Clara County, California.

The study found the population prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in Santa Clara County implies that the infection is much more widespread than indicated by the number of confirmed cases. Based on different scenarios, the population prevalence of COVID-19 in Santa Clara ranged from 2.49% (with 95% CI of 1.80% - 3.17%) to 4.16% (with 95% CI of 2.58% - 5.70%). These prevalence estimates are 50 to 85 times more than the number of cases confirmed by the routine tests. Population prevalence estimates can be used to calibrate epidemic and mortality projections and more importantly can be used as criteria for reopening the economy.

Canada is facing the same pressing health and social concern and there is consensus that our confirmed COVID-19 cases are significantly underestimated due to insufficient tests. Suppose you are designated as a member of the important task force to conduct a similar study in the city of Vaughan, the particularly hard hit city by the COVID-19 outbreak in the GTA. Vaughan’s current confirmed infection rate (from the on-going insufficient tests) is 0.113%. Assume there is a consensus among epidemiologists that the confirmed infection rate of 0.113% is many folds underestimated and the true infection rate might be around 3.5%.

Elaborate on your proposal as a member of the task force. You may choose to discuss random sampling design, sample size (you have the concern of time/money cost if the sample is too big; in the meanwhile, you have the concern of the validity of the estimates if the sample is too small.), hypothesis setting, size of the test or other statistical issues you think to be important for such a medical study. For every aspect of your decision, it is important to communicate the rationale.
