Abstract
Working with sums of numbers is common in many problems faced daily by specialists in various branches of knowledge. Determining these sums involves obtaining compact expressions from a theoretical standpoint. Software applications offer facilities to avoid data capture errors.
This work compiles summation properties reported in the literature, considering their broad applications. It proposes and demonstrates another set particularly relevant when working with discrete variable functions

Review of Business Project: Recovery Costs
Thomas SLU Flowerpot Company
This document outlines the cost analysis for Thomas SLU Flowerpot Company, a manufacturer of treated wood containers. We will calculate the costs under the full costing system, considering both direct and indirect costs.
Departmental Breakdown
The company operates with the following departments:
- Treated Wood Store (activity measured by man-hours)
- Cutting (activity measured by man-hours)
- Assembly (activity measured by man-hours)
- Finished
Introduction to Probability and Statistical Inference
Chapter 12-15: Probability
Definitions
– A phenomenon is random if individual outcomes are uncertain but there is a predictable behavior in a large number of repetitions (random = haphazard).
– The probability of any outcome is the proportion of times the outcome would occur in a very long (infinitely long) series of repetitions.
– Repetitions, or trials, are said to be independent if the outcome of one trial does not affect the outcome of another.
Operations on Events
– The intersection of two

Introduction
Statistics is the branch of mathematics that deals with the collection, analysis, interpretation, presentation, and organization of data. It provides tools and methods to understand patterns and trends, make decisions, and draw conclusions from data.
Sampling
Sampling in statistics refers to the process of selecting a subset of individuals or items from a larger population to estimate characteristics of the whole population. Different sampling methods are used depending on the research
