Billing Statement

A contradiction, by definition according to "Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications" by Kenneth H. Rosen, is a compound proposition that is always false. This means that contradictions are always false. Additional sources, such as Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary, assert a contradiction is "a proposition, statement, or phrase that asserts or implies both the truth and falsity of something." Since propositions are either true or false, no proposition can be both true and false. Thus, even by this definition, contradictions can never exist (are always false).

Since contradictions are always false, how can we say two statements contradict? Nothing is contradictory! Nothing can contradict!

Do not answer with IF or WHEN two statements contradict, then…, because that’s impossible!

You are confusing (or at least conflating) a mathematical definition (Rosen) with a colloquial definition (Merriam-Webster). That’s not likely to lead you anywhere useful.

I also don’t recommend a dictionary for mathematical definitions of "ring," "field," "space," "vector," "set," "paradoxical," or any other mathematical terms that have common English meanings.

I am just wonder if if statements i make to my insurance company can be used against me if criminal chargers are brought against me. Can the police/District attorney Subpoena them and if so is it easy for them do do so?

My experiment is testing the effects of vitamins A, E, and AE on the regeneration of planaria. What are some correlation statements? Please help!

A is positively (negatively) correlated with amount of regeneration.
E is positively (negatively) correlated with amount of regeneration.
AE is positively (negatively) correlated with amount of regeneration.

The best experiment would quantify the dosage of each vitamin (independent variable) and the amount of regeneration (dependent variable) in each experimental replicate, which would allow you to calculate a correlation coefficient in each case. In any case, you will need to run a control, i.e., dosage = 0.

Surely, there must be companies/industries with simpler financial statements to read than those bombarded with special revenue/inventory/etc accounts, right?
Let’s assume a public company then. Are there examples of public companies that you may provide?

Financial Statements do help you pick better companies for stock picking. You may not agree with me on this point, but I am a firm believer that financial statements do nothing but confirm or reject your gut instinct on a particular stock. Why? Because it is all there, in black and white. But sometimes, even when you have all the numbers in front of you, you may come to a different conclusion than the person sitting next to you. I believe this is because financial statements can be confusing to some people, thus the different perspectives.

So what can I do, you may ask yourself? Well, there is a simple method that will take a little time and a calculator (or Excel spreadsheet; pick your tool), which makes digesting financial statements much, much easier.

Which of the following statements best explains why activists try to have policy decisions inserted into state?
It is easier to amend a state constitution than it is to change the Constitution of the United States.

Once policies are written into state constitutions, they become harder to change, requiring a new constitutional amendment.

Policies are the actions taken by government on behalf of the people.

State constitutions are the fundamental law of the states, just as the U.S. Constitution is the fundamental law of the United States.

I say the last one

I have a lot of medical bills. I send in a number of health insurance claims each year, and I receive letters and statements from my insurance company on a regular basis. However, many of the comments and explanations on those letters and statements don’t make any sense to me. Why can’t I understand what the insurance company is trying to say?

Some people have a hard time reading and comprehending what they are reading. Blame your education.

You can always call the number on the back of your insurance card, and the person there can explain it to you.

In years previous Company XYZ’s owner took an annual salary ranging from 50,000-75,000. In 2010 she received no salary, opting to receive a dividend instead. How would this alter the financial statements if you were interested in purchasing this company?

Profit is higher, more tax paid and dividends up. Other taxes may come down depending on country.

and why are the following positive statements?
1. the majority of population would perter a policy that reduced unemployment to one that reduced inflation.
2. Government financial assistance to the auto sector is ineffective at preventing job losses.

to me, they seem subjective(normative?)

Both 1 and 2 statements are facts. It is not about what should be. It’s positive.
