Your sister will start college in five years. She just informed your parents that she wants to go to Georgia Southern University. It will cost $20,000 per year for four years (cost assumed to come at the beginning of each year). Anticipating her ambitions, your parents have saved already $15,000 and will continue to invest at the end of each month for the next five years. How much more will your parents have to invest each month for the next 5 years to have the necessary funds for your sister’s college education? Assume the interest rate is 10% annual compounding.

Please answer all parts of the question, with all work shown
Suppose there are 300 cards in a box numbered 1 through 300. Therefore, the number of each card has one, two, or three digits. A card is drawn at random from the box. Suppose that the number on the card has X digits of which Y are 0. Suppose we would like to know whether X and Y are correlated, negatively correlated, or uncorrelated. Determine Cov(X,Y)Cov(X,Y) and ρ(X,Y)ρ(X,Y), hence settling the question.

"Unknown cultural affiliations and loss of identity at high elevations." These are words used to propose the hypothesis that archaeological sites tend to lose their identity as altitude extremes are reached. This idea is based on the notion that prehistoric people tended not to take trade wares to temporary settings and/or isolated areas. As elevation zones of prehistoric people (in what is now the state of New Mexico) increased, there seemed to be a loss of artifact identification. Consider the following information. Elevation Zone Number of Artifacts Number Unidentified 7000-7500 ft 113 73 5000-5500 ft 145 20 Let p1 be the population proportion of unidentified archaeological artifacts at the elevation zone 7000-7500 feet in the given archaeological area. Let p2 be the population proportion of unidentified archaeological artifacts at the elevation zone 5000-5500 feet in the given archaeological area. (a) Find a 95% confidence interval for p1 − p2. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

Read in a text file where the path and filename is given by the input parameter file_path
There are 4 columns in the text dataset that are separated by colons ":". c1:c2:c3:c4
Plot 3 datasets. (x axis vs y axis)
c1 vs c2 (Legend label "n=1")
c1 vs c3 (Legend label "n=1")
c1 vs c4 (Legend label "n=1")
Make sure you have proper x and y labels and a title. The x label should be "x", y should be "Fourier Sum"
And the title be Fourier Series. Remember, you should have your first.last.yy in parentheses in the title.
For full credit you must also include a legend with the dataset labels as shown above.
Upload the resulting plot (.png) to scholar for credit. No unit tests here.
