Prove that p((pVq) → q) is a tautology using the laws of propositional logic.
Let us say a natural number n is ok if there are two natural numbers whose sum
is n and whose product is n. (Convention: the natural numbers consist of 0, 1, 2,...)
(a) Give a logical expression that means "n is ok".
(b) Show that 0 and 4 are both ok.
(c) Give a logical expression that means "every natural number is ok".
(d) Give a logical expression that means "it is not the case that every number is ok". Push
the negations into the expression as far as possible.

- A) The output voltage of a power supply is normally distributed with mean 5 V and standard deviation 0.02 V. If the lower and upper specifications for voltage are 4.95 V and 5.05 V, respectively, what is the probability that a power supply selected at random conform to the specifications on voltage? B) Continuation of A. Reconsider the power supply manufacturing process in A. Suppose We wanted to improve the process. Can shifting the mean reduce the number of nonconforming units produced?
