Using principle of mathematical induction prove that 6^-1 divisble by 5 .​

salantis [7]1 year ago

I suppose the claim is 5 \mid 6^n - 1 for n\in\Bbb N.

When n=1, we have 6^1 - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5, and of course 5 divides 5.

Assume the claim holds for n=k, that 5 \mid 6^k - 1. We want to use this to show it holds for n=k+1, that 5 \mid 6^{k+1} - 1.

We have

6^{k+1} - 1 = \left(6^{k+1} - 6\right) + \left(6 - 1) = 6\left(6^k - 1\right) + 5

Since 5 \mid 6^k - 1, we can write 6^k - 1 = 5\ell for some integer \ell. Then

6^{k+1} - 1 = 6\cdot5\ell + 5 = 5(6\ell + 1)

which is clearly divisible by 5. QED

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the required  distance.

\frac{760}{x} =tan~ 89^\circ18 '\\x=\frac{760}{tan~89^\circ 18' } =\frac{760}{tan~89 \frac{18}{60}} =\frac{760}{tan~89.3^\circ} \\or~x \approx 9~ft

Assume the sample variances to be continuous measurements. Find the probability that a random sample of 25observations, from a n
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

a) P(4S^2 > 4*9.1) = P(\chi^2_{24} >36.4) = 0.0502

b)P(13.848Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The Chi Square distribution is the distribution of the sum of squared standard normal deviates .

For this case we assume that the sample variance is given by S^2 and we select a random sample of size n from a normal population with a population variance \sigma^2. And we define the following statistic:

T = \frac{(n-1) S^2}{\sigma^2}

And the distribution for this statistic is T \sim \chi^2_{n-1}

For this case we know that n =25 and \sigma^2 = 6 so then our statistic would be given by:

\chi^2 = \frac{(n-1)S^2}{\sigma^2}=\frac{24 S^2}{6}= 4S^2

With 25-1 =24 degrees of freedom.

Solution to the problem

Part a

For this case we want this probability:

P(S^2 > 9.1)

And we can multiply the inequality by 4 on both sides and we got:

P(4S^2 > 4*9.1) = P(\chi^2_{24} >36.4) = 0.0502

And we can use the following excel code to find it: "=1-CHISQ.DIST(36.4,24,TRUE)"

Part b

For this case we want this probability:

P(3.462 < S^2

If we multiply the inequality by 4 on all the terms we got:

P(3.462*4 < 4S^2 < 4*10.745)= P(13.848< \chi^2And we can find this probability like this:P(13.848And we use the following code to find the answer in excel: "=CHISQ.DIST(42.98,24,TRUE)-CHISQ.DIST(13.848,24,TRUE)"

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

They are compatible

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to say that an "ace" and that it is a "coarse"

"ace" is card number 1. Group A

"coarse" is a type of the deck, found from number 1 to card 13. Group B

Thus:

 Calculate A U B:

1 to 13 + 1 of the other types of cards in the deck.

At intersection B:

1 of "coarse"

Therefore, if group A is compatible with group B

Alana rode her bicycle 10 miles on Tuesday and 20 miles on Wednesday. What is the mean absolute deviation of this data?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Miles ridden in Tuesday = 10

Miles ridden on Wednesday = 20

Sample size, n = 2

Mean :

(10 + 20) / 2

= 30 /2

= 15

Mean absolute deviation :

(|10 - 15| + |20 - 15|) / 2

(5 + 5) / 2

10 / 2

= 5
