(a)
To Describe: Is the set of whole numbers closed under subtraction? If not give counterexample.
(a)

Answer to Problem 47HP
No
Explanation of Solution
Given: If you take any two whole numbers and add them together the sum is always a whole number. This is a closure property for addition. The set of whole numbers is closed under addition.
No, set of whole numbers is not closed under subtraction
For example:

Which is outside the set
(c)
To Describe:The closure property of multiplication using addition property.
(c)

Answer to Problem 47HP
The property says that if you take any two whole numbers then the multiplication of both the numbers is always a whole number.

(n - 1)!arrow_forwardAmy and Samiha have a hat that contains two playing cards, one ace and one king. They are playing a game where they randomly pick a card out of the hat four times, with replacement. Amy thinks that the probability of getting exactly two aces in four picks is equal to the probability of not getting exactly two aces in four picks. Samiha disagrees. She thinks that the probability of not getting exactly two aces is greater. The sample space of possible outcomes is listed below. A represents an ace, and K represents a king.
