Answer:

John is 31

Ella is 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let sister's age be x, then John's age is (x + 6). So from sentence 2,

(3x) - 2(x + 6) = 13

3x - 2x - 12 = 13

x = 13 + 12 = 25

and x + 6 = 31

Statisticians use sampling plans to either accept or reject batches or lots of material. Suppose one of these sampling plans inv

Answer:

x= {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}

Step-by-step explanation:

As the random variable takes the values from 0 ----10 it can be written as

x= {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}

The probability of the defective and non defective items would be

P ( defective) = 12/ 100 = 0.12

P ( non defective) = 1-0.12= 0.88

Since the events are independent the probability of defective items in the randomly 10 selected items would be given

P (1/10) * 0.12 +P ( 2/10) * 0.12 + P(3/10)*0.12 ,---------,+P (10/10) * 0.12

Similarly the probability of non defective item s would be

P (1/10) * 0.88 +P ( 2/10) * 0.88 + P(3/10)*0.88 ---------P (10/10) * 0.88

That is the individual probability is multiplied with the probability of the defective or non defective items to get the total probability of defective and non defective items as the events are independent.

For each of the following, use logic laws to decide whether the statement is a tautology contradiction, or neither. a (a) (A B)

spayn [35]

Answer:

The statement $(A\rightarrow \lnot B)\land (B\rightarrow A)$ is a contingency.

The statement $(P\rightarrow \lnot P)\land P$ is a contradiction.

Step-by-step explanation:

A tautology is a proposition that is always true.

A contradiction is a proposition that is always false.

A contingency is a proposition that is neither a tautology nor a contradiction.

a) To classify the statement $(A\rightarrow \lnot B)\land (B\rightarrow A)$ , you need to use the logic laws as follows:

$(A\rightarrow \lnot B)\land (B\rightarrow A) \equiv$

$\equiv (\lnot A \lor\lnot B)\land(\lnot B \lor A)$ by the logical equivalence involving conditional statement.

$\equiv (\lnot B\lor \lnot A )\land(\lnot B \lor A)$ by the Commutative law.

$\equiv \lnot B \lor (\lnot A \land A)$ by Distributive law.

$\equiv \lnot B \lor (A \land \lnot A)$ by the Commutative law.

$\equiv \lnot B \lor F$ by the Negation law.

Therefore the statement $(A\rightarrow \lnot B)\land (B\rightarrow A)$ is a contingency.

b) To classify the statement $(P\rightarrow \lnot P)\land P$ , you need to use the logic laws as follows:

$(P\rightarrow \lnot P)\land P \equiv$

$\equiv (\lnot P \lor \lnot P)\land P$ by the logical equivalence involving conditional statement.

$\equiv P \land (\lnot P \lor \lnot P)$ by the Commutative law.

$\equiv (P \land \lnot P) \lor (P \land \lnot P)$ by Distributive law.

$\equiv F \lor F \equiv F$ by the Negation law.

Therefore the statement $(P\rightarrow \lnot P)\land P$ is a contradiction.
