Given:
Example: The spread of AIDS: Mathematics is used to study the probability of contracting AIDS.
- The long term viability of the Social Security system
- The appropriate level for the federal gasoline tax
- National health care policy
- Job discrimination against women or ethnic minorities
- Effects of population growth (or decline) on your community

- 2. Sam and Deb have a weekly net income of $1500. They have a pet dog. Their monthly expenses, not related to housing, are $2875. They have savings of $32 000. They are considering two housing options: Option 1: Renting a 2-bedroom condo for $1650 a month, plus utilities averaging $210 a month Option 2: Buying a 2-bedroom condo for a down payment of $24 500, bi-weekly mortgage payments of $1100, and a monthly condo fee of $475 a) Determine the monthly cost of each housing option. Factoring in other expenses not related to housing, which one can Sam and Deb afford? b) Suppose their dog falls ill and they have to pay $85 every week to cover veterinarian and medical expenses.
