10. The Tower of Hanoi is a puzzle consisting of a board with three dowels and a collection of n disks of n different radii. The disks have holes drilled through their centers so they can fit on the dowels on the board. Initially, all the disks are on the first dowel arranged in order of their sizes, with the largest one being at the bottom, and the smallest one on the top. The object is to move all the disks to another dowel in as few moves as possible. Each move consists of taking the top disk from one of the stacks and placing it on another with the added condition that you may not place a larger disk on top of a smaller one. Prove: For every n ≥ 1, the Tower of Hanoi puzzle with n disks can be solved in 2^n − 1 moves.

Suppose a sample of 49 paired differences that have been randomly selected from a normally distributed population of paired differences yields a sample mean d¯ =4.6d¯ =4.6 of and a sample standard deviation of sd = 7.6.
(a) Calculate a 95 percent confidence interval for µd = µ1 – µ2. Can we be 95 percent confident that the difference between µ1 and µ2 is greater than 0? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Confidence interval = [ , ] ; (Click to select)YesNo
(b) Test the null hypothesis H0: µd = 0 versus the alternative hypothesis Ha: µd ≠ 0 by setting α equal to .10, .05, .01, and .001. How much evidence is there that µd differs from 0? What does this say about how µ1 and µ2 compare? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

Find sequences that satisfy the following or explain why no such sequence exists:
a) A sequence with subsequences converging to 1, 2, and 3.
b) A sequence that is bounded above, but has no convergent subsequence.
c) A sequence that has a convergent subsequence but is unbounded
(note: unbounded
means not bounded below or not bounded
above.
d) A sequence that is monotonic and bounded, but does not converge.
