Suspicious Samples?
A lab worker tells you that the samples below were selected at random. Using the graph at the right, which of the samples would you consider suspicious? Would you believe that the samples were selected at random? Explain your reasoning.
- (a) A sample of 10 ART cycles among women of age 40, eight of which resulted in clinical pregnancies
- (b) A sample of 10 ART cycles among women of age 41, none of which resulted in clinical pregnancies

Hints - The neighborhood of a vertex in a triangle free graph must be independent; all edges have at least one end in a vertex cover. (ii) Show that all graphs of order n ≥ 3 and size m> [n2/4] contain a triangle. Hints - you may need to use either elementary calculus or the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality.arrow_forward
