Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 25CRP
Suppose you needed to find out if anyone in a group of people had a birthday on a particular date. One approach would be to ask the members one at a time. If you took this approach, the occurrence of what event would tell you that there was such a person? What event would tell you that there was no such person? Now suppose that you wanted to find out if at least one of the positive integers has a particular property and you applied the same approach of systematically testing the integers one at a time. If, in fact some integer has the property, how would you find out? If, however, no integer has the property, how would you find out? Is the task of testing to see if a conjecture is true necessarily symmetric with the task of testing to see if it is false?

For (∃ x)(P(x,b))
Would an example of this being true if the domain was all the Avengers and x was green skin, then "b" being the Hulk would make this true.
Am example of this being false would be:
If the domain was all integers and x was positive, even integers and "b" was integers greater than zero.
What is Benford’s Law?
Benford’s Law involves looking at the first digit of a series of numbers. For example, suppose that you were to use a random number generator to generate integers in the range of 100 to 999 and you looked at how often the number begins with 1, how often it begins with 2, and so on. Any decent random number generator would spread the answers out evenly among the 9 regions, so we’d expect to see each digit about one-ninth of the time (11.1%). But with a lot of real-world data, we see a very different distribution.
The expected distribution under Benford’s Law is shown below:1: 30.1%, 2: 17.6%, 3: 12.5%, 4: 9.7%, 5: 7.9%, 6: 6.7%, 7: 5.8%, 8: 5.1%, 9: 4.6%
You should use this distribution in your program. You are being provided with a text file giving population data for 247 countries and territories. Your program should read in the data in this file and extract the information needed to keep count of how often each first digit is found. It may be useful to know…
I need help with this problem involving Boolean variables and I am absolutely lost on this problem since I never seen anything like it.
If (f(w,x,y,z) = (x+yz) + (wx). What is f(1,0,0,0)
There is a line over (x+yz), there is a line over letter z, and there is a line over letter w.

- On an island, a group of people are living until a visitor arrives with an odd directive: everyone with blue eyes must leave the island as quickly as possible. Every evening, a flight will depart at 8:00. Everyone can see the colour of everyone else's eyes, but they are blind to their own (nor is anyone allowed to tell them). They also do not know the number of persons who have blue eyes, but they do know that at least one person has them.

You need to design a solution where each philosopher can eat their food without causing a deadlock.arrow_forward

His question was solved by Pascal and Fermat, and yielded the foundations of the theory of probability. Gamblers used to bet on the event of getting at least one ace in four rolls of a dice. As a game variation, De Méré proposed to use two die and roll them 24 times with a bet on having at least one double ace. De Méré thought the games were equivalent but he lost consistently. Explain why? Write a simulation program to empirically determine which one dice/two die game is more likely to win.arrow_forwardImagine you have 331 sheep, and you are going to use primitive counting to write a tally stick for the King.
