To find the tax rate you need to divide

24/25.02=<span>0.959232613909

0.95 would be your answer</span>

Prove by mathematical induction that 1+2+3+...+n= n(n+1)/2 please can someone help me with this ASAP. Thanks

Iteru [2.4K]

Let

$P(n):\ 1+2+\ldots+n = \dfrac{n(n+1)}{2}$

In order to prove this by induction, we first need to prove the base case, i.e. prove that P(1) is true:

$P(1):\ 1 = \dfrac{1\cdot 2}{2}=1$

So, the base case is ok. Now, we need to assume $P(n)$ and prove $P(n+1)$ .

$P(n+1)$ states that

$P(n+1):\ 1+2+\ldots+n+(n+1) = \dfrac{(n+1)(n+2)}{2}=\dfrac{n^2+3n+2}{2}$

Since we're assuming $P(n)$ , we can substitute the sum of the first n terms with their expression:

$\underbrace{1+2+\ldots+n}_{P(n)}+n+1 = \dfrac{n(n+1)}{2}+n+1=\dfrac{n(n+1)+2n+2}{2}=\dfrac{n^2+3n+2}{2}$

Which terminates the proof, since we showed that

$P(n+1):\ 1+2+\ldots+n+(n+1) =\dfrac{n^2+3n+2}{2}$

Whats 15-b=4b-5(5-3)

Gala2k [10]

15-b=4b-5(5-3)

Multiply the bracket by -5

(-5)(5)=-25

(-5)(-3)=15

15-b=4b-25+15

15-b=4b-10

Move 15 to the other side

Sign changes from +15 to -15

15-15-b=4b-10-15

-b=4b-25

Move 4b to the other side.

-b-4b=4b-4b-25

-b-4b=-25

-5b=-25

divide both sides by -5

-5b/-5=-25/-5

Answer: b=5

A personnel manager is concerned about absenteeism. She decides to sample employee records to determine if absenteeism is distri

nlexa [21]

Answer:

$df=categor-1=6-1=5$

The critical value can be founded with the following Excel formula:

=CHISQ.INV(1-0.05,5)

And we got $\chi^2_{critc}= 11.0705$

a. 11.070

And since our calculated value is lower than the critical we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A chi-square goodness of fit test "determines if a sample data matches a population".

A chi-square test for independence "compares two variables in a contingency table to see if they are related. In a more general sense, it tests to see whether distributions of categorical variables differ from each another".

Solution to the problem

For this case we want to test:

H0: Absenteeism is distributed evenly throughout the week

H1: Absenteeism is NOT distributed evenly throughout the week

We have the following data:

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Total

12 9 11 10 9 9 60

The level of significance assumed for this case is $\alpha=0.05$

The statistic to check the hypothesis is given by:

$\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{(O_i -E_i)^2}{E_i}$

The table given represent the observed values, we just need to calculate the expected values with the following formula $E_i = \frac{60}{6}= 10$ and the expected value is the same for all the days since that's what we want to test.

now we can calculate the statistic:

$\chi^2 = \frac{(12-10)^2}{10}+\frac{(9-10)^2}{10}+\frac{(11-10)^2}{10}+\frac{(10-10)^2}{10}+\frac{(9-10)^2}{10}+\frac{(9-10)^2}{10}=0.8$

Now we can calculate the degrees of freedom (We know that we have 6 categories since we have information for 6 different days) for the statistic given by:

$df=categor-1=6-1=5$

The critical value can be founded with the following Excel formula:

=CHISQ.INV(1-0.05,5)

And we got $\chi^2_{critc}= 11.0705$

a. 11.070

And since our calculated value is lower than the critical we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance
