Chapter 7.2, Problem 29E
A group of six people play the game of “ odd person out” to determine who will buy refreshments. Each person flips a fair coin. If there is a person whose outcome is not the same as that of any other member of the group, this person has to buy the refreshments. Mat is the probability that there is an odd person out after the coins are flipped once?

- T2.3: Prove that there exists a connected graph with degrees d₁ ≥ d₂ >> dn if and only if d1, d2,..., dn is graphic, d ≥ 1 and di≥2n2. That is, some graph having degree sequence with these conditions is connected. Hint - Do not attempt to directly prove this using Erdos-Gallai conditions. Instead work with a realization and show that 2-switches can be used to make a connected graph with the same degree sequence. Facts that can be useful: a component (i.e., connected) with n₁ vertices and at least n₁ edges has a cycle. Note also that a 2-switch using edges from different components of a forest will not necessarily reduce the number of components. Make sure that you justify that your proof has a 2-switch that does decrease the number of components.arrow_forwardT2.2 Prove that a sequence s d₁, d₂,..., dn with n ≥ 3 of integers with 1≤d; ≤ n − 1 is the degree sequence of a connected unicyclic graph (i.e., with exactly one cycle) of order n if and only if at most n-3 terms of s are 1 and Σ di = 2n. (i) Prove it by induction along the lines of the inductive proof for trees. There will be a special case to handle when no d₂ = 1. (ii) Prove it by making use of the caterpillar construction.
