    Truth Table Functions Represented

    Let p represent some false statement and let q represent some true statement. What is the truth value of each of the following: a. ~(~p v q) b. ~(p v q) c. (~p) v q

    Multinomial experiment, Expected Frequency

    1. True or False. In a multinomial experiment, all outcomes of each trial can have several categories. 2. In finding Expected Frequency you multiply what divided by what?

    Discrete Structures : Congruences

    Construct addition and multiplication tables for arithmetic modulo 11. For example, 7 + 8 mod 11 is 4 and 7*8 mod 11 is 1 so the entry in row 7, column 8 would be 4 for the addition table and 1 for the multiplication table. Use your tables to solve each of the following congruences: a. 3x+2≡8 (mod11) b. 3x-5≡2 (m

    Discrete Structures : Reflexive, Symmetric or Transitive Relation

    Let S ne the set of all strings of a's and b's. Let R be the relation on S defined by... x and y begin with different symbols. Determine, and prove your answers, whether or not R is reflexive, symmetric or transitive. Please see the attached file for the fully formatted problems.

    Discrete Structures : Onto and One-to-one

    Prove or disprove (find a counterexample) : If A C B and f : A --> B is an onto function (the range of f is all of B), then f is one-to-one and A =B. Please see the attached file for the fully formatted problem.

    Solving Set Problems

    If U = {a,b,c,d,e,f} A = {a,b} B = {-1, 0, 11} Find A' Find B' Find (A U B)' Find (A ∩B).

    experiment that consists of determining the type of job

    16. Consider an experiment that consists of determining the type of job?either blue-collar or white-collar?and the political affiliation?Republican, Democratic, or Independent?of the 15 members of an adult soccer team. How many outcomes are (a) in the sample space; (b) in the event that at least one of the team members is a b

    Application of Stirling's Formula

    An often used application of Stirling's approximation is an asymptotic formula for the binomial coefficient. One can prove that for k = o(n exp3/4), (n "choose" k) ~ c(ne/k)^(k) for some appropriate constant c. Can you find the c? Can you say why this only works when k is much smaller than n exp3/4?

    Double Eulerian Tour

    Use words to describe the solution process. No programming. 4. Suppose G is a graph. We define a double Eulerian tour as a walk that crosses each edge of G twice in different directions and that starts and ends at the same vertex. Show that every connected graph has a double Eulerian tour.

    Discrete Structures : Coloring

    Let G be a properly colored graph and let us suppose that one of the colours used is red. The set of all red-coloured vertices have a special property. What is it? Graph colouring can be thought of as partitioning V(G) into subsets with this special property. (See attachment for full background)

    Subgraphs

    Let G be a complete graph on n vertices. Please calculate how many spanning and induced subgroups G has... (see attachment)

    Big-Oh: Context Free Grammars

    Following is a big-oh relationship. Give witnesses n0 and c that can be used to prove the relationship. Choose your witnesses to be minimal, in the sense that n0 - 1 and c are not witnesses, and if d < c, then n0 and d are not witnesses. n¹º is O(3ⁿ)

    Absolute Deviation with a Given Equation

    Estimate the absolute deviation for the following calculation. List the result y and the absolute deviation. Round your answer so that it contains only significant digits. Y= 251(+/-1)*((860(+/-2))/(1.673(+/-0.006))= 129.025.70(+/-xxxxxx)

    Subsequences Characteristic Lines

    In a line of people you are looking for a subsequence of 4 (not necessarily consecutive = neighboring) people with increasing height. How many people should be in the line so that you can be sure to find this subsequence?

    Trees and Rooted Binary Trees

    A. If T is a rooted binary tree of height 5, then T has at most 25 leaves. b. If T is a tree with 50 vertices, the largest degree that any vertex can have is 49.

    Tree Traversal.

    Find the: 1. preorder transversal 2. inorder transversal 3. postorder transversal Of the tree attached in the Word document.

    Dimensions for Percent Increase

    We have some skylights and they measure 1.2m by 0.8m Suppose both dimensions increase by 20%. What's the percent increase in the amount of light admitted? You have a newspaper the dimensions are 35cm by 38cm they reduce the pages by 10%. There are 48 Pages in the newspaper, daily circulation of 135,000. Comp

    Recursive relationship problem

    Consider the recursive relationship for combinations: C(n,r) = C(n-1,r) + C(n-1,r-1) Prove this relationship algebraically using the mathematical definition of a combination, as well as that of the factorial function. Provide a logical explanation for this relationship (Hint: consider n objects as consisting of n-1 ex
