1. Find the principal amount:

P = 2500

2. Find the annual interest rate:

R = 0.45

3. Find the time in years (6 months is 0.5 years):

T = 0.5

4. Use the simple interest formula:

I = P \times R \times T

5. Substitute the values into the formula:

I = 2500 \times 0.45 \times 0.5

6. Calculate the interest:

I = 562.50

The interest he will pay you is

562.50

Equine infectious anemia (EIA) is considered the main infectious disease in Brazilian equine farming, for which there is no effective vaccine or treatment. It is caused by a retrovirus of the genus Lentivirus, which affects horses, donkeys and mules and is transmitted in nature mainly by hematophagous insects of the genus Tabanidae. Researchers analyzed the records of 9,439 equids from Acre, submitted to the agar gel immunodiffusion test (AGID) for equine infectious anemia (EIA), between 1986 and 1996. Of these, 6199 tested positive for equine infectious anemia (EIA) . Knowing that the age of AIE-positive horses follows a Normal distribution with a mean of 5 years and a standard deviation of 1.5 years, determine the expected number of AIE-positive horses in the Acre sample that will be aged less than or equal to 3 years. ATTENTION: Provide the answer to exactly FOUR decimal places.

Which statement best describes the key changes in perspectives on inclusion? An inclusive program must consider the unique experiences of every child and family as well as the child's strengths and needs. There is a shift in thinking about individual programs as "inclusive programs" to thinking about inclusion as something that reflects the cultural influence of the family. There is a greater emphasis on barriers to full participation and the acknowledgement that all children are unique and must be fully and meaningfully engaged in a program. In an inclusive program all participants are accepted by their peers and other members of the community.
