Discrete Math.

Problem 1.

Consider the statement: “If an animal is an rhinoceros, then it has a horn.”

(a) Write down the CONVERSE of this statement.

(b) Write down the CONTRAPOSITIVE of this statement

Problem 2.

Let x be a positive real number.

Using the definition of rational number, write a proof by contraposition of the following:

If x is irrational, then √ x + 6 is also irrational.

Problem 3

Let n be an integer. Using the definition of odd/even number, write a proof of the following: n is even if and only if 2n 2 + 5n + 7 is odd.

It is a discrete math problem about probability: You flip a nickel (5 cents coin) and roll a six-sided die. Points are assigned as follows. The nickel showing heads is worth 1 point and the nickel showing tails is worth 5 points. The points for the die correspond simply to the number on its upper surface. Each outcome is equally likely and we define the following events. A: The sum of points is greater than 7. B: The sum of...
