I have a word problem to solve and am thoroughly confused. any input would be great...

My younger brother had a run in earlier with Médecins Sans Frontières. He narrowly escaped from an adverse verdict by the court... What he wants is that he be left alone to run his small café...
He asked my oldest brother if he can conduct a survey for him about justice in the Kangaroo Court. Oooops, I mean the Canadian Court...
An initial survey was performed right after Médecins Sans Frontières accused my brother of wrong doing. Of 1852 customers, 53 were against the aggressive tactics of Médecins Sans Frontières. After my brother was cleared by the court, a follow-up survey was performed. Of 4699 customers, 1751 said they did not agree with the aggressive tactics of Médecins Sans Frontières.

At the 1% significance level, do the data suggest that a higher percentage of customers were against Médecins Sans Frontières after the court case?

Before court FOR Observed (O) = 1799
Before court FOR Expected (E) = 1342.7
Before court AGAINST O = 53
Before court AGAINST E = 509.3

After court FOR O = 2949
After court FOR E = 3406.775
After court AGAINST O = 1751
After court AGAINST E = 1292.225

DF = (r-1) (c-1) = 1
(1342.7 - 1799)2 / 1342.7 + (509.3 - 53)2 / 509.3 + (3406.775 - 2948)2 / 3406.775 + (1292.225 - 1751)2 / 1292.225 =
155.068 + 408.815 + 61.781 + 162.877 = 788.541am I even on the right track? where do i go from here?

First step in hypothesis testing is to formulate the zero hypothesis $H_0$ and the alternative hypothesis. Once you have defined those I can further explain the core principle of the test and how to formulate a conclusion.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
