Exercises 12-15 provide an outline for a proof that the associative laws, which were included as axiom for a Bolllem algebre, can be derived from the other four axioms. The algebra, can be derived from the four axioms. The outline is from Introduction to Boolean Algebra by S. Givant and P. Halmos, Springer, 2009. In order to avoid unneeded parentheses, assume that takes precedence over+.
Test for equality law: For all elements a,b,and c ns a Boolean algebra.
Without using the associative law, derive this law from the other four laws in the axioms for a Boolean algebra plus the result of exercise 12.

Explain why your answer is correct. ข พarrow_forward(c) Utilize Fubini's Theorem to demonstrate that E(X)= = (1- F(x))dx.arrow_forward(c) Describe the positive and negative parts of a random variable. How is the integral defined for a general random variable using these components?arrow_forward
- Let k ≥ 1, and let G be a k-regular bipartite graph with bipartition X, Y . Prove that |X| is the minimum size of a vertex cover in G.arrow_forward3. [10 marks] Let Go = (V,E) and G₁ = (V,E₁) be two graphs on the same set of vertices. Let (V, EU E1), so that (u, v) is an edge of H if and only if (u, v) is an edge of Go or of G1 (or of both). H = (a) Show that if Go and G₁ are both Eulerian and En E₁ = Ø (i.e., Go and G₁ have no edges in common), then H is also Eulerian. (b) Give an example where Go and G₁ are both Eulerian, but H is not Eulerian.arrow_forward26. (a) Provide an example where X, X but E(X,) does not converge to E(X).arrow_forward
- (b) Demonstrate that if X and Y are independent, then it follows that E(XY) E(X)E(Y);arrow_forward(d) Under what conditions do we say that a random variable X is integrable, specifically when (i) X is a non-negative random variable and (ii) when X is a general random variable?arrow_forward29.
