A charge of -1.0 µC is located at the origin, a second charge of 1 µC is located at x = 0, y = 0.1 m, and a third charge of 11 µC is located at x = 0.2 m, y = 0. Find the forces that act on each of the three charges.
| q = -1.0 µC | |
| 2.475 N î | + .9 N ĵ |
| q = 1 µC | |
| .885 N î | + .885 N ĵ |
| q = 11 µC | |
| .885 N î | + .885 N ĵ |
(values for q=-1 is correct but all other values are wrong please show all work)

A metal bar of length 30 cm, is initially at 25 oC. Then through an electrical wire heat is generated at a rate of 0.5 cal/cm3s. The left end (x = 0 cm ) is contacted with a medium at 10 oC. At the right end there is a heat loss due to the air convection at a flux of 0.6 cal/cm2s. The physical properties are, k = 2 cal/cm oC s, r = 8 g/cm3, Cp = 0.2 cal/g oC.
Use M = 0.25, Dx = 5 cm. Solve the model numerically to find the temperature at the length of 22.5 cm after 10 seconds.

Q#1
The amounts of time employees of a telecommunications company have worked for the company are normally distributed with a mean of 5.10 years and a standard deviation of 2.00 years. Random samples of size 12 are drawn from the population and the mean of each sample is determined. Round the answers to the nearest hundredth.
Q#2
A coffee machine dispenses normally distributed amounts of coffee with a mean of 12 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.2 ounce. If a sample of 9 cups is selected, find the probability that the mean of the sample will be less than 12.1 ounces. Find the probability if the sample is just 1 cup.

An individual has three umbrellas, some at his office, and some at home. If he is leaving home in the morning (or leaving work at night) and it is raining, he will take an umbrella, if there is one there. Otherwise, he gets wet. Assume that, independent of the past, it rains on each trip with probability 0.2. To formulate a Markov chain, let Xn be the number of umbrellas at his current location “before” he starts his n-th trip. Note that “current location” can either be home or office, depending on whether the trip is from home to office or vice versa. Find the transition probabilities of this Markov chain

Consider the following.
a. What is the duration of a two-year bond that
pays an annual coupon of 9 percent and whose current yield to
maturity is 14 percent? Use $1,000 as the face value. (Do
not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 3 decimal
places. (e.g., 32.161))
b. What is the expected change in the price of the
bond if interest rates are expected to decrease by 0.2 percent?
(Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do
not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal
places. (e.g., 32.16))
a. duration of bond
b. expected change in the price

A study of depression and exercise was conducted. A total of 5 groups were used: each group differs by the extent to which group members exercise. A depression rating (scale: 1-100, a continuous variable) was given to all 1410 participants in the sample. An incompleted ANOVA table is provided below. What is the obtained F (i.e., value in Cell [8])?

Determinants of Interest Rates
Suppose you and most other investors expect the inflation rate to be 8% next year, to fall to 5% during the following year, and then to remain at a rate of 3% thereafter. Assume that the real risk-free rate, r*, will remain at 2% and that maturity risk premiums on Treasury securities rise from zero on very short-term securities (those that mature in a few days) to a level of 0.2 percentage points for 1-year securities. Furthermore, maturity risk premiums increase 0.2 percentage points for each year to maturity, up to a limit of 1.0 percentage point on 5-year or longer-term T-notes and T-bonds.

You plan to invest in the Kish Hedge Fund, which has total capital of $500 million invested in five stocks:
| Stock | Investment | Stock's Beta Coefficient |
| A | $160 million | 0.4 |
| B | 120 million | 1.1 |
| C | 80 million | 2.2 |
| D | 80 million | 1.0 |
| E | 60 million | 1.5 |
Kish's beta coefficient can be found as a weighted average of its stocks' betas. The risk-free rate is 3%, and you believe the following probability distribution for future market returns is realistic:
| Probability | Market Return |
| 0.1 | -27% |
