Proving a relation for all natural numbers involves proving it for n = 1 and showing that it holds for n + 1 if it is assumed that it is true for any n.

The relation 2+4+6+...+2n = n^2+n has to be proved.

If n = 1, the right hand side is equal to 2*1 = 2 and the left hand side is equal to 1^1 + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2

Assume that the relation holds for any value of n.

2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 2n + 2(n+1) = n^2 + n + 2(n + 1)

= n^2 + n + 2n + 2

= n^2 + 2n + 1 + n + 1

= (n + 1)^2 + (n + 1)

This shows that the given relation is true for n = 1 and if it is assumed to be true for n it is also true for n + 1.

By mathematical induction the relation is true for any value of n.

A study of the effects of color on easing anxiety compared anxiety test scores of participants who completed the test printed on

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

H0 : μYellow = μGreen

H1 : μYellow < μGreen

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Yellow paper = μYellow

Green paper = μGreen

To test the hypothesis :

The null hypothesis is will state that there is no difference in mean of anxiety scores obtained for test taken of yellow and green papers

H0 : μYellow = μGreen.

The alternative hypothesis is the opposite of the null and it is to the left, where we want to test if the anxiety score is lower when take on a yellow paper

H1 : μYellow < μGreen
