A contractor is required by a county planning department to submit 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 forms (depending on the nature of the project) when applying for a building permit. Let y denote the number of forms required for an application, and suppose the mass function is given by p(y) 5 cy for y 5 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Determine the value of c, as well as the long-run proportion of applications that require at most three forms and the long-run proportion that require between two and four forms, inclusive.

Data from 2005 for various age groups show that for each $100 increase in the median weekly income for whites, the median weekly income of blacks increases by $105. also, for workers of ages 25 to 54 the median weekly income for whites was $676 and for blacks was $527. (a) let w represent the median weekly income for whites and b the median weekly income for blacks, and write the equation of the line that gives b as a linear function of w. b = (b) when the median weekly income for whites is $760, what does the equation in (a) predict for the median weekly income for blacks?
