Sum An a series and |An| cnverges to 0. If the partial sum Sn
(A1+A2+...+An) is bounded, is the partial sum Sn' of all absolute
value of An (|A1|+|A2|+...+|An|) also bounded?
Alternating Series Test. Let (an) be a sequence
satisfying
(i) a1 ≥ a2 ≥ a3 ≥ · · · ≥ an ≥ an+1 ≥ · · · and
(ii) (an) → 0.
Show that then the alternating series X∞
n=1
(−1)n+1an converges using the following two different
approaches.
(a) Show that the sequence (sn) of partial sums,
sn = a1 − a2 + a3 − · · · ± an
is a Cauchy sequence

The prior probabilities for events A1 and
A2 are P(A1) =
0.50 and P(A2) = 0.45. It is also
known that P(A1 ∩
A2) = 0. Suppose P(B |
A1) = 0.20 and P(B |
A2) = 0.05. If needed, round your answers to
three decimal digits.

Are A1 and A2 mutually
exclusive?

Starting with the expression for Pr[A1 + A2], show that for
three events Pr[A1 + A2 + A3] = Pr[A1] + Pr[A2] + Pr[A3] −
Pr[A1A2]

Question in graph theory:
1. Let
(a1,a2,a3,...an) be a
sequence of integers.
Given that the sum of all integers = 2(n-1)
Write an algorithm that, starting with a sequence
(a1,a2,a3,...an) of
positive
integers, either constructs a tree with this degree sequence or
concludes that
none is possible.

Let A = {a1, a2, a3, . . . , an} be a nonempty set of n distinct
natural numbers. Prove that there exists a nonempty subset of A for
which the sum of its elements is divisible by n.
