Prove that the product of any two consecutive natural numbers is even.

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the 2 consecutive natural numbers are 'n' and 'n+1'

Thus the product of the 2 numbers is given by

$Product=n(n+1)\\\\$

We know that the sum of 'n' consecutive natural numbers starting from 1 is

$S_n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\\\\\therefore n(n+1)=2\times S_n............(i)$

Thus from equation 'i' we can write

$Product=2\times S_n$

As we know that any number multiplied by 2 is even thus we conclude that the product of 2 consecutive numbers is even.

(4, -2), y = –2x + 3<br><br> PLS HELP HOW DO I DO THIS?

Alex787 [66]

It looks like your instructor wants you to write in point-slope form.

the equation for point slope form is quite simple

y-y1=m(x-x1)

your variables:

y and x: just state these as they are

m: slope

y1 and x1: the numbers in the point given

keep in mind a double negative equals a positive, so when you come across a negative coordinate you would put + instead of - in your equation.

your final answer would be

y+2=-2(x-4)

I hope this helped :)

please don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions

D. $560

Step-by-step explanation:

800 x .3 equals 240.

800 minus 240 gives you 560

In the book Essentials of Marketing Research, William R. Dillon, Thomas J. Madden, and Neil H. Firtle discuss a research proposa

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Null hypothesis: $p_{1} = p_{2}$

Alternative hypothesis: $p_{1} \neq p_{2}$

$z=\frac{0.179-0.15}{\sqrt{0.17(1-0.17)(\frac{1}{140}+\frac{1}{60})}}=0.500$

$p_v =2*P(Z>0.500)=0.617$

So the p value is a very low value and using any significance level for example $\alpha=0.05, 0,1,0.15$ always $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the two proportions NOT differs significantly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$X_{1}=25$ represent the number of homeowners who would buy the security system

$X_{2}=9$ represent the number of renters who would buy the security system

$n_{1}=140$ sample 1

$n_{2}=60$ sample 2

$p_{1}=\frac{25}{140}=0.179$ represent the proportion of homeowners who would buy the security system

$p_{2}=\frac{9}{60}= 0.15$ represent the proportion of renters who would buy the security system

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the value for the test (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the two proportions differs , the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $p_{1} = p_{2}$

Alternative hypothesis: $p_{1} \neq p_{2}$

We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{p_{1}-p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}})}}$ (1)

Where $\hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{25+9}{140+60}=0.17$

Calculate the statistic

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:

$z=\frac{0.179-0.15}{\sqrt{0.17(1-0.17)(\frac{1}{140}+\frac{1}{60})}}=0.500$

Statistical decision

For this case we don't have a significance level provided $\alpha$ , but we can calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(Z>0.500)=0.617$

So the p value is a very low value and using any significance level for example $\alpha=0.05, 0,1,0.15$ always $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the two proportions NOT differs significantly.
