Answer:

7/27 ≈ 25.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

"At most one" means either exactly 0 or exactly 1.

P(at most 1) = P(0) + P(1)

Using binomial probability:

P(r) = nCr pʳ qⁿ⁻ʳ

P(0) = ₃C₀ (⅔)⁰ (⅓)³⁻⁰ = 1/27

P(1) = ₃C₁ (⅔)¹ (⅓)³⁻¹ = 2/9

So the probability that it rains on at most one day is:

P(at most 1) = 1/27 + 2/9

P(at most 1) = 7/27

P(at most 1) ≈ 0.259

Translate each of these statements into logical expressions by using quatifiers and predicates with one or two variables. (a) A

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

a) $A = \{\exists x \in M, \exist y \in U\,|\,xGy \}$ , b) $B = \{\exists x \in M,\,\exists y \in H\,|\,xMy \}$ , c) $C = \{\forall x \in M\,|\,xI \}$ , d) $D = \{\exists x \in M,\,\forall y \in U\,|\,xJy \}$ , e) $E = \{\exists x \in M, \forall y \in V, V \subseteq U\,|\,xJy \}$

Step-by-step explanation:

a) x - A student, M - Set of students of discrete math class, G - has lived in, y - Florida, U - Set of states of the United States of America.

$A = \{\exists x \in M, \exist y \in U\,|\,xGy \}$

b) x - A student, M - Set of students of discrete math class, y - A perfect grade, H - Midterm I.

$B = \{\exists x \in M,\,\exists y \in H\,|\,xMy \}$

c) x - A student, M - Set of students of discrete math class, I - loves discrete math.

$C = \{\forall x \in M\,|\,xI \}$

d) x - A student, M - Set of students of discrete math class, J - has been in, y - a state, U - Set of states of the United States of America.

$D = \{\exists x \in M,\,\forall y \in U\,|\,xJy \}$

e) x - A student, M - Set of students of discrete math class, J - has been in, y - a city, V - At least one state of the United States of America, U - Set of states of the United States of America.

$E = \{\exists x \in M, \forall y \in V, V \subseteq U\,|\,xJy \}$

5'-11" + 5'-6" + 5'-9" [add feet, then add inches]
= 15'+(11+6+9)"=15'+26"=15'+2'+2"
=17'-2"
