Here are solutions and explanations for each question in the assignment:
Question 1: Logical Form and Truth Table for Validity
-
Let:
- : Alice is a manager.
- : Bob is a supervisor.
Statements can be represented as:
- If Alice is a manager, then Bob is not a supervisor: .
- If Bob is a supervisor, then Alice is not a manager: .
- Conclusion: .
-
Truth Table:
T T F F F F F T F T F T T F F T F T T T F F F T T T T T The argument is valid if every instance where both premises are true, the conclusion also holds true, as shown in the last row.
Question 2: Set Theory Proof
To prove :
- Left Side: represents elements in but not in .
- Right Side: includes elements that are in and not in .
Since both expressions identify elements that are in and not in , they are equal by definition. Thus, .
Question 3: Workshop Attendance and Venn Diagram
-
Let:
- (number who attended coding = number who attended data science).
- ,
- ,
- ,
- .
-
Venn Diagram: Represent each intersection and union within the three circles for , , and , noting the given overlaps.
-
Calculating Total for Data Science: Using the principle of inclusion-exclusion:
- (number attending both coding and data science).
Calculation proceeds by analyzing individual subsets.
Question 4: Negation using De Morgan's Laws
- Original Statement: .
- Negation: or , using De Morgan’s transformation on the interval .
