		+	Note that the Null Hypothesis is typically not "disproven". By the very nature of the kind of experiments the term is typically used in, there is generally still a chance that the Null Hypothesis us true. When that chance (expressed by likelihood of observation) is very low, we say we reject the Null Hypothesis, but we didn't disprove it. --[[Special:Contributions/176.199.209.149\|176.199.209.149]] 05:15, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

 Oh really. If you say it increased by 2% this year, then by 3% next year. It increased 3%. Unless you mean it will increase by 3% from LAST YEAR to NEXT YEAR. Then it really increased by 2% then .97%. But for this purpose let's throw that out and make it simple. It increased by 2% this year, and will increase by 3% next year. 50% isn't how much it increased, but how much the increase increased. That's called acceleration. The rate of increase per year is always 2 or 3%. So, 1% doesn't factor into this equation at all no matter how you do the math. The answer is 1.02*1.03. It increased by 5.06% over the last two years.

 Prices of coffee increase by 2% this year, then by 3% next year. That's a 1% increase between years, or a 50% increase between years (from 2 to 3). So which is it? 1 or 50?

 That's why they've invented the "base points" in financials, to denote the percentages of percentages. It's 1% absolute but 50bpp (base point percentage). [[Special:Contributions/108.162.246.11|108.162.246.11]] 18:35, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
