11. (6 Pts.) Show that if we split any 11 numbers in 5 sets, then there exists one set that contains a subset such

that the sum of its elements is a multiple of 3.

Expert Solution

Let be any integers.

Case I: If some divides one of , say , then the set that contains has as its subset, and the sum of all elements in is just , a multiple of .

Case II: Suppose for all : Since sets contains integers, by Pigeon-hole principle, at least one of these sets contains at least of these integers . Say is such a set and . Since for all , we have . Thus, the sum of the elements in the subset is a multiple of .

Case III: Suppose for all : Since sets contains integers, by Pigeon-hole principle, at least one of these sets contains at least of these integers . Say is such a set and . Since for all , we have . Thus, the sum of the elements in the subset is a multiple of .

Case IV: Suppose for at least one of , and for at least one of :

Case IVa If one of the sets contain an and , then it has a two-elements subset whose elements sum is .

Case IVb Since sets contains integers, by Pigeon-hole principle, at least one of these sets contains at least of these integers . Say is such a set and . Either for all , or for all . Thus, we have . Thus, the sum of the elements in the subset is a multiple of .

Since these are all the possible cases, we have proved the required statement.

Logic & Sets (Proofs question) Show that complex numbers cannot be ordered in a way that satisfies our axioms. Axioms for order: 1. if x is less than/equal to y and w is greater than zero, then wx is less than/equal to wy 2. for w, x, y, z w is less than/equal to x, y is less than/equal to z then w + y = x + z if and only iff w = x and y = z

we have defined open sets in R: for any a ∈ R, there is sigma > 0 such that (a − sigma, a + sigma) ⊆ A. (i) Let A and B be two open sets in R. Show that A ∩ B is open. (ii) Let {Aα}α∈I be a family of open sets in R. Show that ∪(α∈I)Aα is open. Hint: Follow the definition of open sets. Please be specific and rigorous! Thanks!

6) There are 5 boxes. In each box there are 5 tickets labelled with the numbers 1,2,3,4,5. An experiment is to draw one number at random from each of the ﬁve boxes. Calculate the following probabilities using a calculator, but show some work. a) P(no two numbers alike). b) P(exactly two alike). (example 11234) c) P(exactly three alike). (example 11123) d) P(exactly four alike). (example 11112) e) P(two pair). (example 11223) f) P(the number 4 comes up at least once)

Use the pumping lemma to show that the following languages are not regular (c) (5 pts) Let Σ = {0, 1, −, =} and SUB = {x = y − z | x, y, z are binary integers, and x is the result of the subtraction of z from y}. For example: 1 = 1 − 0, 10 = 11 − 01 are strings in SUB but not 1 = 1 − 1 or 11 = 11 − 10.

Make up three different data sets with 5 numbers each that have the following characteristics; the word "set" means there will be 2 lists of 5 numbers in each set. List the numbers in each dataset. For example in part a) you will have a list of 5 numbers with a mean of X, and the second list of 5 numbers will have the same mean. However, the two lists of 5 numbers need to have different standard deviations. That...
