As per the image, I am supposed to select all the valid statements. Apparently I'm only partially correct, and so I took another look at the statements.

I believe the third statement is wrong, since $$c * (a_m*a_{m+1}*a_{m+2}*...*a_n)$$ =/= $$ (c*a_m)(c*a_{m+1})(c*a_{m+2})*...*(c*a_n)$$

Thus there should only be two answers. Am I correct on this?

Thread 'Hypothesis testing: Defining H0, HA hypotheses so that ( H_A)_A' makes sense'

The standard _A " operator" maps a Null Hypothesis Ho into a decision set { Do not reject:=1 and reject :=0}. In this sense ( HA)_A , makes no sense. Since H0, HA aren't exhaustive, can we find an alternative operator, _A' , so that ( H_A)_A' makes sense? Isn't Pearson Neyman related to this? Hope I'm making sense. Edit: I was motivated by a superficial similarity of the idea with double transposition of matrices M, with ## (M^{T})^{T}=M##, and just wanted to see if it made sense to talk...
