. A family owns a canoe, one life-jacket and one paddle. Before anyone can use the canoe the rules are that you must be wearing a life-jacket and holding a paddle. Two children both decide to go canoeing. One grabs the paddle the other puts on the life-jacket. Describe how the 4 conditions for a deadlock are applicable to this situation.
5. Given two conditions P and Q, there are four ways in which they might be related to each other. •P is necessary but not sufficient for Q. •P is sufficient but not necessary for Q. •P is both necessary and sufficient for Q. •P is neither necessary nor sufficient for Q. For each problem below, do the following; Determine whether P is necessary, sufficient, both necessary and sufficient, or neither necessary nor sufficient for Q. ii. i. Justify your answer to i). Write the symbolic notation for the implication, if any. iii. a) P="each side is equal in length to each of the others", Q= "it is a square" b) P="the person is a younger sibling", Q = "the person has an older sibling" c) P="it is a triangle", Q =“it has three sides"
upper lim. Problem 13, A Quiz game has 2 questions. The problem is: which question to attempt first. If the first question is answered correctly then the second question can be attempted. If the first answer is wrong, the game stops. Question 1 will be answered correctly with probability 0.8 with a prize of $100. Question 2 will be answered correctly with probability 0.5 with a prize of $200. Let Y = the amount of money won if Question 1 is attempted first Let Z= the amount of money won if Question 2 is attempted first a) Write the probability distribution of Y b) Find E[Y] c) Write the probability distribution of Z d) Find E[Z] e) Which is greater, E[Y] or E[Z]? Bonus f) Assume we choose the first question at random. If the probability of picking Question 1 is 0.4, find E[X], where X Total amount of money won in the game. %3D
