"assume that s is a non-empty set of real numbers which is bounded above and lambda is the least upper bound. Prove that for all

real numbers beta is less than lambda there is a real number alpha in s such that beta is less than alpha"

By definition, if \lambda is the least upper bound of the set S, it means two thing:

  • \forall x \in S,\ x \leq \lambda
  • \forall \varepsilon>0,\ \exists x \in S:\ x>\lambda-\varepsilon

In other words, the least upper bound of a set is greater than or equal to every single element of the set, but it is "close enough" to the elements of the set, because you guaranteed to find elements in the set between \lambda-\varepsilon and \lambda

For example, pick S = [1,10). Obvisouly, the least upper bound is \lambda = 10. In fact, every number in [1,10) is smaller than 10, but as soon as you take away something from 10, say 0.01, you get 9.99, and there are elements in S greater than 9.99, say 9.9999.

So, the claim is basically proven by definition: if \beta < \lambda, let 0 < \delta = \lambda - \beta. By definition, there exists \alpha \in S:\ \alpha > \lambda - \delta.

GREYUIT [131]
5% of the kids are in health. I got this from simplifying 3/60 which is 1/20

After that, i set up this equation: 1/20 times x/100

I would then divide 20 and 100 to get 5 and that’s basically what I did

The data set shows the ages of people riding a bus.
likoan [24]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is B. 36</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given for answering the question correctly:

Data set given:

18

36

11

45

36

19

14

18

36

2. What is the mode for this data set?

Let's recall that the Statistical Mode is the number that  is more frequently repeated in a group of numbers.  If no number is repeated, then there is no mode for the list or set.

In this specific set, we can notice that 18 is repeated two times and 36 is repeated three times. Therefore, the mode for this set of ages of people riding a bus is 36.

<u>The correct answer is B. 36</u>
