Missing Part of Question

Explain which rules of inference are used in the above

Answer:

Universal instantiation, Modus ponens and Existential generalization

Step-by-step explanation:

Splitting the Statement into two, we have

"Doug knows how to write program is Java"

and

"Doug can get a high paying job"

Represent Doug with x. Then the statements is rewritten as

P(x) = "x knows how to write program is Java"

and

Q(x) = "x can get a high paying job"

In logic, A premise is a statement in an argument that provides reason or support for the conclusion.

So, Statement 1 can be written as

1. P(x) ---- Premise

Then, we have

2. Vx(P(x) --> Q(x)) -- Premise. This mean that P(x) for all values in the domain.

The universal instantiation of (2) leads to

3. P(Doug) --> Q(Doug)

The modus ponens of the above gives

4. Q(Doug)

The existential generalisation from above gives

5. ƎxQ(x)

Which means someone in this class can get a high paying job.

PS:

Universal Instantiation is a valid rule of inference from a truth about each member of a class of individuals to the truth about a particular individual of that class; it is represented by VxP(x).

Existential Generalisation is a valid rule of inference that allows one to move from a specific statement, or one instance, to a quantified generalized statement, or existential proposition.

It is represented as ƎxP(x)

inysia [295]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given that Etsy is an e-commerce website focused on handmade or vintage items and supplies, as well as unique factory-manufactured items. A shop owner on Etsy sells printed t-shirts and she wants to know what level of inventory she should maintain for the month of January. She gathers the January inventories of 8 other shop owners who sell printed t-shirts on Etsy. Their t-shirt inventories are listed below.

59 84 90 54 42 45 77 85

a) Mean = total /8 = 536/8 = 67

For median arrange in ascending order

42 45 54 59 77 84 85 90

Middle entries are 59 and 77

b) Median = average of 59 and 77 = 68

c) If highest changes to 100, data set becomes

42 45 54 59 77 84 85 100

sum increases by 10 i.e. 546

Mean = 546/8 = 68.25

Median will not change remain the same = 68

Mean increases and median stays the same

d) If Var = 369.1429

std dev = square root of variance

= 19.2131

e) Part b answer is the II quartile

f) Mean = 67 and median = 68

Mean < median

So negatively skewed shape

You need to divide the numerator by the denominator so it should be 8 divided by 9 to turn it into a percent multiply the decimal you get by 100. Hope this helps!

What is the gradient of the graph shown
Keith_Richards [23]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient is the ratio of "rise" to "run". Here, it appears the line crosses the y-axis at y = -1. It appears that it also crosses the grid intersection at (1, 2). This represents a "rise" (change in y) of (2 -(-1)) = 3, for a "run" (change in x) of (1 -0) = 1. Then the gradient is ...

  m = rise/run = 3/1 = 3

The gradient of the graph is 3.
