Mathematics - 6 July 2006

I have a chemistry degree (requires strong math and application skills) and I am pursuing an MBA. I am taking a college credit math actuary Exam P prep class, taking the VEE required classes, taking other high level statistics/econ/finance electives, and studying for Exam P while I am earning my MBA. I see on many actuary job sites that the company wants a degree in econ or math to consider the applicant. Will I be at the bottom of the applicant pool because I dont have an econ/math background, or will the MBA satisfy or even top the desire for an applicant with those backgrounds? (My school doesn't offer any kind specialization.)

A prime number p with n digits is called an embedded prime if it remains prime after eliminating the leftmost i digits of p, for i = 0,...,n-1. For example:

137 is an embedded prime because
-137 is prime
-37 is prime
-7 is prime

or

45197 is an embedded prime because
-45197 is prime
-5197 is prime
-197 is prime
-97 is prime
-7 is prime

But, 4127 is not an embedded prime because
-4127 is prime
-127 is prime
-27 is NOT prime
-7 is prime

Is the set of all embedded primes infinite? If not, what is the largest embedded prime? If there is a largest, then since any n digit embedded prime is an extension of an n-1 digit embedded prime, this question seems suitable to be answered by a computer program. However, I have neither the means nor know-how to experiment.

According to one investigator's model, the data are like 400 draws made at random from a large box. The null hypothesis says that the average of the box is 50; the alternative says it's more than 50. The data averaged out to 52.7 and the SD is 25. Compute z and P - What do you conclude?

It isn't 3.14 x r squared, that is the circumference of a circle, which I know has a part in finding the volume. I'm wanting the volume not the suface area.

I knew once, but I forgot. Is it something like 1.44? It's been refered to as God's number. Can't remember, but by continiously deviding one number of the Fibbonacci sequence into the next one (or the other way around) you would get closer and closer to this number the more you do it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Don't tell me it's pi, because that's not what I'm talking about.
