Permutations/681934: we want to form a 4 letter password using letters from A,B,C,D,E,F without repetition, what is the probability that the first letter of the password is A and the last letter is F?? 1 solutions
Answer 422868 by MathLover1(6638) on 2012-11-17 14:47:01 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!4 letter password using letters from A,B,C,D,E,F
By assuming that the first letter is "A", and the last letter is “F",
Therefore, one has to find two more letters from the remaining 4 letters.
Of the 4 letters, there are 1 B, 1 C, 1 D, and 1 E .
The second and third positions can have two different letters.
When the two letters are different. One has to choose two different letters from the 4 available different choices. This can be done in 4 * 3=12 ways.
Total number of possibilities is 12.
1. A,B,C,F
2. A,C,B,F
3. A,B,D,F
4. A,D,B,F

test/681890: what is natural numbers 1 solutions
Answer 422839 by MathLover1(6638) on 2012-11-17 08:57:07 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The term "natural number" refers either to a member of the set of positive integers 1, 2, 3, ... or to the set of nonnegative integers 0, 1, 2, 3, ... e.g., Regrettably, there seems to be no general agreement about whether to include 0 in the set of natural numbers. In fact, Ribenboim (1996) states "Let P be a set of natural numbers; whenever convenient, it may be assumed that 0 in P."
The set of natural numbers (whichever definition is adopted) is denoted N.
Due to lack of standard terminology, the following terms and notations are recommended in preference to "counting number," "natural number," and "whole number."

Answer 422672 by MathLover1(6638) on 2012-11-15 22:47:24 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!the statements are:
I) If the cat does not have claws, then the cat cannot scratch the furniture.
II) If the cat can scratch the furniture, then the cat has claws.
III) If the cat has claws, then the cat can scratch the furniture.
you can solve this using truth tables.
you would do so as follows:
p = cat has claws
q = cat scratches furniture
~p->~q = I
q->p = II
p->q = III
truth table:
p q ~p ~q ~p->~q q->p p->q
T T F F T T T
T F F T T T F
F T T F F F T
F F T T T T T
from the truth tables, it appears that ~p->~q is equivalent to q->p because their truth tables are the same.
that means that I is equivalent to II
III is not equivalent to either one of them because its truth table is different.
if we examine the statement, we will see why this is so.
the statement are, once again:
I) If the cat does not have claws, then the cat cannot scratch the furniture.
II) If the cat can scratch the furniture, then the cat has claws.
III) If the cat has claws, then the cat can scratch the furniture.
statement II looks like it is the contrapositive of statement I.
statement I says:
if no claws, then no scratch furniture.
statement II says:
if scratch furniture, then claws.
if the statement is:
if no claws, then no scratch furniture
then the contrapositive to that statement is:
if scratch furniture, then claws.
if the statement is:
if scratch furniture, then claws
then the contrapositive to that statement is:
if no claws, then no scratch furniture.
the statement and its contrapositive are equivalent which means if the statement is true then the contrapositive is also true and vice versa.
this is the case between statements I and II.
statement III says:
if claws, then scratch furniture.
the contrapositive to this would be.
if no scratch furniture, then no claws.
all 3 statements are:
I = if no claws, then no scratch furniture
II = if scratch furniture, then claws.
III = if claws, then scratch furniture.
the contrapositive to statement III is:
if no scratch furniture, then no claws
neither I or II are the contrapositive to statement III, therefore the only equivalent statement are I and II.
It's a little convoluted, but that's the way it works out.
Use of the truth tables can make sense of the insensible, assuming you know how to use them.
p->q is only false if p is true and q is false.
q->p is only false if q is true and p is false.
~p->~q is only false if ~p is true and ~q is false.
~q->~p is only false if ~q is true and ~p is false.
that's the truth table for the implied statement.l

Points-lines-and-rays/680995: Sixty concurrent lines in a plane divide the plane into how many regions? 1 solutions
Answer 422546 by MathLover1(6638) on 2012-11-15 11:03:30 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!three or more lines in a plane are said to be concurrent if they intersect at a single point
 lines divide the plane into  regions
check for  line
 .....it’ true that one line divides the plane into two regions
check for  lines
 .....it’ true that two lines divides the plane into four regions
check for  lines
 .....it’ true that two lines divides the plane into six regions
so, now we can check for  lines
 ....so,  lines divides the plane into  regions
