The answer is Luca Pacioli.

Luca Pacioli is credited with documenting the double-entry accounting system. He was an Italian mathematician and Franciscan friar who published a comprehensive book on mathematics and accounting in 1494 titled "Summa de Arithmetica, Geometria, Proportioni et Proportionalità." In this book, Pacioli described the double-entry bookkeeping system, which became the foundation for modern accounting practices.

Let's briefly explain why the other options are incorrect:

  1. Rocea Glovann: There is no historical record of a person by this name contributing to the development or documentation of the double-entry accounting system.

  2. Arlo Glan: Similarly, there is no known individual by this name associated with the history of accounting or the double-entry system.

  3. Marco Lorenzo: This name does not correspond to any known figure in the history of accounting or the documentation of the double-entry system.

  4. Luca Pacioli: As mentioned, Luca Pacioli is the correct answer. He is often referred to as the "Father of Accounting" due to his detailed description of the double-entry system in his 1494 publication.

In summary, Luca Pacioli is the individual credited with documenting the double-entry accounting system, which has had a lasting impact on the field of accounting.

For each row in the table below, decide whether the pair of elements will form a molecular compound held together by covalent chemical bonds. If the elements will form a molecular compound, check the box and enter the chemical formula and name of the compound. (If the elements will form more than one molecular compound, use the compound with the fewest total number of atoms.) You may assume all chemical bonds are single bonds, not double or triple bonds. element #1 element #2 element pair will form a molecular compound chemical formula name ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- hydrogen iodine □ □ □ nitrogen fluorine □ □ □ calcium bromine □ □ □

Use the sample data and confidence level given below to complete parts (a) through (d). A research institute poll asked respondents if they felt vulnerable to identity theft. In the poll, n=907 and x=600 who said "yes." Use a 99% confidence level. a) Find the best point estimate of the population proportion p. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) b) Identify the value of the margin of error E. E= (Round to three decimal places as needed.) c) Construct the confidence interval. <p< (Round to three decimal places as needed.) d) Write a statement that correctly interprets the confidence interval. Choose the correct answer below. A. There is a 99% chance that the true value of the population proportion will fall between the lower bound and the upper bound. B. 99% of sample proportions will fall between the lower bound and the upper bound. C. One has 99% confidence that the sample proportion is equal to the population proportion. D. One has 99% confidence that the interval from the lower bound to the upper bound actually does contain the true value of the population proportion.
