You hear on the local news that for the city of kalamazoo, the proportion of people who support president obama is 0.63. however, you think it is less than 0.63. the hypothesis you want to test are null hypothesis: p ≥ 0.63, alternative hypothesis: p < 0.63. you take a random sample around town and calculate a p-value for your hypothesis test of 0.0204. what is the appropriate conclusion

, and

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
