Calc24isafamousmathgame. Now w would like to implement an advanced Calc24 calculator. Given n integers, you need to verify whether 24 can be deduced with these numbers and four basic operators: ‘+’. ‘-’, ‘*’ and ‘/’. Note that every number can only be used once. Input The first line with two integers: n,t , where n denotes the number of integers in each group, t indicates the total number of groups that you need to verify. In following t lines, each represent n integers in that group. Output will be t lines. Each line prints either true or false, indicating whether 24 can be deduced from the corresponding line of input.

Write a program sequence that will test the byte STATUS and branch to ROOTINE_1 if bit 1, 2 or 4 is 1. Otherwise, it is branch to ROUTINE_2 if both bits 1 and 3 are 1 and to ROUTINE_3 if both bits 1 and 3 are 0. In all other cases it is to exeute ROUTINE_4. Assume that the routines are more than 128 bytes long. Also give a flowchart of the sequence.

An experiment is to flip a coin until a head appears for the first time. Assume the coin may be biased, i.e., assume that the probability the coin turns up heads on a flip is a constant p (0 < p < 1). Let X be the random variable that counts the number of flips needed to see the first head.
(a) Let k ≥ 1 be an integer. Compute the probability mass function (pmf) p(k) = P(X = k).
(b) If p = 1/3 compute P(2 ≤ X < 4) and P(1 < X < 3).
(c) If p = 1/3 compute P(X > 2).
(d) If p = 1/2 compute P(X is even).

1) Determine the price of a $1 million bond issue under each of the following independent assumptions:
| Maturity | Interest paid | Stated rate | Effective (market) rate | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 years | Annually | 10% | 12% | ||
| 2 | 10 years | Semiannually | 10% | 12% | ||
| 3 |
|
Semiannually (July 1 and January 1) | 12% | 10% | ||
| 4 |
|
Semiannually | 12% | 10% | ||
| 5 | 20 years | Semiannually | 12% | 12% |
2) Prepare journal entries to record the issuance for each of the following the above independent assumptions
3) Only for Assumption 1 and 2, prepare an amortization schedule that determines interest at the effective rate.
