LetM(x,y) be “xhas sentyan e-mail message” andT(x,y) be “xhas telephonedy,” where the domain of all students in your class. Use quantifiers to express each of these statements. (Assume that all e-mail messages that were sent are received, which is not the way often work.)
a) Chou has never sent an e-mail message to Koko.
b) Arlene has never sent an e-mail message to or telephoned Sarah.
c) José has never received an e-mail message from Deborah.
d) Every student in your class has sent an e-mail message to Ken.
e) No one in your class has telephoned Nina.
f) Everyone in your class has either message.
g) There is a student in your class who has sent everyone else in your class an e-mail message.
h) There is someone in your class who has either sent an e-mail message or telephoned everyone else in your class.
i) There are two different students in your class who have sent each other e-mail messages.
j) There is a student who has message.
k) There is a student in your class who has not received an e-mail message from anyone else in the class and who has not been called by any other student in the class.
l) Every student in the class has either received an email message or received a telephone call from another student in the class.
m) There are at least two students in your class such that one student has sent the other e-mail and the second student has telephoned the first student.
n) There are two different students in your class who between them have sent an e-mail message to or telephoned everyone else in the class.

- let h0, h1, h2,..., hn,....be the sequence defined by hn = (n C 2), (n choose 2). (n>=0). Determine the generating function for the sequence.arrow_forwardDraw the triangle and show all the workarrow_forwardThe average miles per gallon for a sample of 40 cars of model SX last year was 32.1, with a population standard deviation of 3.8. A sample of 40 cars from this year’s model SX has an average of 35.2 mpg, with a population standard deviation of 5.4. Find a 99 percent confidence interval for the difference in average mpg for this car brand (this year’s model minus last year’s).Find a 99 percent confidence interval for the difference in average mpg for last year’s model minus this year’s. What does the negative difference mean?arrow_forward
- A special interest group reports a tiny margin of error (plus or minus 0.04 percent) for its online survey based on 50,000 responses. Is the margin of error legitimate? (Assume that the group’s math is correct.)arrow_forwardSuppose that 73 percent of a sample of 1,000 U.S. college students drive a used car as opposed to a new car or no car at all. Find an 80 percent confidence interval for the percentage of all U.S. college students who drive a used car.What sample size would cut this margin of error in half?arrow_forwardYou want to compare the average number of tines on the antlers of male deer in two nearby metro parks. A sample of 30 deer from the first park shows an average of 5 tines with a population standard deviation of 3. A sample of 35 deer from the second park shows an average of 6 tines with a population standard deviation of 3.2. Find a 95 percent confidence interval for the difference in average number of tines for all male deer in the two metro parks (second park minus first park).Do the parks’ deer populations differ in average size of deer antlers?arrow_forward
- Suppose that you want to increase the confidence level of a particular confidence interval from 80 percent to 95 percent without changing the width of the confidence interval. Can you do it?arrow_forwardA random sample of 1,117 U.S. college students finds that 729 go home at least once each term. Find a 98 percent confidence interval for the proportion of all U.S. college students who go home at least once each term.arrow_forwardSuppose that you make two confidence intervals with the same data set — one with a 95 percent confidence level and the other with a 99.7 percent confidence level. Which interval is wider?Is a wide confidence interval a good thing?arrow_forward
