a) The population is all of the flights belonging to the particular airline. It's not all flights in general because the airline does not have control over a rival company's flight schedule.

------------------

b) The sample is the 5 airlines the company selected. Ideally the sample should represent the population as much as possible. The larger the sample, the more representative the sample is.

------------------

c) No, the sample is likely <u>not</u> representative because one day of flight does not represent the entire lifetime of all flights done so far for that company. This particular day could have been a very good day with good weather, which may explain why the 5 flights were all on time.

------------------

d) It would be better for the company to select the days at random and sample all of the flights for those particular days chosen. This is a cluster sample. Each cluster is a day. Also, I think more flights should be sampled. Five flights does not seem like enough.

Prove 2^n &gt; n for all n equal to or greater than 1. I mostly need help with how to solve the problem when it is greater than
noname [10]
If n is an integer, you can use induction. First show the inequality holds for n=1. You have 2^1=2>1, which is true.

Now assume this holds in general for n=k, i.e. that 2^k>k. We want to prove the statement then must hold for n=k+1.

Because 2^k>k, you have

2^{k+1}=2\times2^k>2k

and this must be greater than k+1 for the statement to be true, so we require

2k>k+1

for k>1. Well this is obviously true, because solving the inequality gives 3k>1\implies k>\dfrac13. So you're done.

If you n is any real number, you can use derivatives to show that 2^n increases monotonically and faster than n.
