    Unsure of how to compare non-paired values

    I am currently trying to show that two numbers are significantly different but I am unsure of how to do the statistics. I'll provide a brief description below. I have 4 arrays: Array A Array B Array C and Array D I can determine the difference between 2 arrays using a student's t-test From...

    Observation and the Double Slit Expt

    I think what happened was that we were talking about two different experiments, it's ok though. And what you said makes a lot of sense. You're right, it's not entirely satisfactory but it does answer my question better than any other source has. Thank you.

    Observation and the Double Slit Expt

    It can't, that's a mistake on my part...it's the down-converter that can potentially indicate the path taken by the photon. Sorry. That's besides my main concern though, I don't see how a double split experiment doesn't constitute observation of the photon?

    Observation and the Double Slit Expt

    So I'm embarking through Brian Greene's magnificent book The Fabric of The Cosmos and in the quantum section he goes through the whole idea about how observation of a particle leads to collapse of the wavefunction into a definite location. He also uses the double slit experiment for photons and...

    Calculate Entropy Change for 1.6kg Water at 34°C and 2.0kg Water at 58°C

    hmm...well you know that deltaH = qt and qt/t = delta S...give that a try?

    What are the rules for using the limit comparison theorem in power series?

    so with points ii and iii...what if b_n was divergent and the lim was 0? What would that mean? And with iii, what if the lim goes to infinity and b_n converges? what happens then? Thanks.

    Container of Water Work Problem

    W = FD F = VDg W = \int (1000)(9.8)(V)(D) This is where I run into a problem...I put that VD equals (pi/16)y^3dy. I really am not sure what to do from here because that's where my mistake is. Please help.

    Container of Water Work Problem

    You have a container which has the volume of y=x^4 from y=0 to y=16. This tank is filled with water...how much work is required to pump all of the water out of this 16 meter tall tank. I'm not too sure where I went wrong here because I know work is the integral of Force times Distance. Please...

    What are the rules for using the limit comparison theorem in power series?

    http://www.math.sunysb.edu/~leontak/prfinal.pdf http://www.math.sunysb.edu/~leontak/solpf.pdf Hi I was unsure of the explanation of the answer for question 13 part a. I understand everything up to where he finds the pattern shown by the recursive relation but after that, I'm not sure how...

    What are the rules for using the limit comparison theorem in power series?

    Hi, I'm preparing for my calculus II final and I had a question about Power Series. I'm posting the link for the answer solution to a practice exam (it's in pdf form) and I will ask questions based on that. http://www.math.sunysb.edu/~daryl/prcsol3.pdf On problem 12 it asks for the fifth...

    Verifying Maclaurin Series for f(x)=ln(1+x)

    cyclovenom...you were a great help...I am now done with my math homework and confident on the unsure questions...I am sure that you'll be helping me out again in the near future as I am quickly approaching finals time. Thanks again, take care.

    Verifying Maclaurin Series for f(x)=ln(1+x)

    AH! {x^2}\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} {n}{(n-1)}{(x^{n-2}) is just x^2(f''(1/1-x)) hah, thank you so much!

    Verifying Maclaurin Series for f(x)=ln(1+x)

    ohhh ok, Let me try...thank you so much!

    Verifying Maclaurin Series for f(x)=ln(1+x)

    wait I don't see why it's x^(n-2)...when you change the series from n=2 to n = 1...x^n becomes x^(n+1)...so then when you extract x^2...it becomes x^(n-1) also, if I continue the problem with my numbers...I get to a spot like this: x^2 \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} ({n^2x^{n-1}) + ({nx^{n-1})...

    Verifying Maclaurin Series for f(x)=ln(1+x)

    Can someone also verify this infinite series for me?: Evaluate the indefinite integral as an infinite series: \int {e^{x^3}} = \int \sum \frac {x^{3n}}{n!} = C + \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac {x^{3n+1}}{(n! (3n+1))} I posted my answer in there, does that look about right? Thanks.
