Problem 5: Determine which rule of inference is used in each of the following arguments. 1. Alice is a Mathematics major. Therefore, Alice is either a Mathematics major or a computer science major. 2. Jerry is a Mathematics major and a computer science major. Therefore, Jerry is a Mathematics major. 3. If it is rainy, then the pool will be closed. It is rainy. Therefore, the pool is closed. 4. If it snows today, the university will close. The university is not closed today. Therefore,it did not snow today. 5. If I go swimming, then I will stay in the sun too long. If I stay in the sun too long, then I will sunburn. Therefore, if I go swimming, then I will sunburn. 6. If Socrates is human, then Socrates is mortal. Socrates is human. Thus, Socrates is mortal.

The keys to the locks are distributed among five executives in the following manner.Mr. A has keys for locks v and x. Mr. B has keys for locks v and y. Mr. C has keys for locks w and y. Mr. D has keys for locks x and z. Mr. E has keys for locks v and z.a) Determine the minimal number of executives required to open the safe.b) Find all the combinations of executives that can open the safe; write and expression f(A, B, C, D, E) which specifies when the safe can be opened as a function of what executives are present.c) Who is the essential executive?
Three persons P1, P2, and P3 were invited by their friend F to make some smørbrød (sandwich made of bread, eggs, and tomato) together. To make a portion of smørbrød, three ingredients are needed: a slice of bread, a slice of tomato, and a slice of an egg. Each of these persons P1, P2, P3 has only one type of each of the ingredients: person P1 has slices of bread person P2 has slices of tomato; person P3 has slices of egg. We assume that persons P1, P2, and P3 each has an unlimited supply of these ingredients (i.e., slices of bread, slices of tomato, slices of egg), respectively. Their friend F, who invited them, also has an unlimited supply of all the ingredients. Here is what happens: the host F puts two random ingredients on the table. Then the invited person who has the third ingredient picks up these other two ingredients, and makes the smørbrød (i.e., takes a slice of bread, puts on it a slice of tomato, and puts on top a slice of egg), and then eats the smørbrød. The host of…

In the refrigerator example, suppose the warranty worksas follows. If a refrigerator fails at any time within 5 yearsof purchase, we give the consumer a prorated refund on the$500 purchase price. For example, if the refrigerator failsafter 4 years, we pay the customer $100. If the refrigeratorfails after 3 years, we pay the customer $200. Estimate ourexpected warranty expense per refrigerator sold.

QUESTION THREE A. Consider the thirsty person problem given below: To drink, a thirsty person must have three things; water, ice and a glass. There are three thirsty people, each having a different one (and only one) of the three required items. A fourth person, a server has unlimited supply of all three items. If nobody is drinking, the server places two of the three items (chosen at random) onto table. Thirsty person who can make a drink from those two items will pick them up and drink a glass of ice water. When done, thirsty person will notify the server and the process will repeat. Write a process that will control the thirsty person and the server using semaphores. (B) (i)What is a critical section in code? (ii) Explain the three properties that any solution to the Critical Section Problem should guarantee. (C) Explain the role the Operating System plays in Garbage-In-Garbage-Out (GIGO).

1- If the rat ate the cheese or the rat is not in the trap, then it is under the bed. The Rat is neither under the bed nor under the table. You will see the Rat Footprint unless It is under the table, or it is not in the trap. The Rat drinks the water if you see its footprint. The rat ate the cheese, or it did not eat the newspaper. Therefore, if the rat neither under the table nor under the bed, then it did not eat the newspaper but it drank the water. a. Covert the above argument into symbolic. b. Show that the argument is valid.

The next two questions refer to the following belief network with random variablesF0,F1,…,F4 which only take the values 0 and 1. Which of the following statements are true about this belief network (1), (3) and (4) only :(1) F0 and F3 are independent given F1,F2 ;(2) F0 and F2 are independent;(3) P(F0∣F1,F2)=P(F0∣F1,F2,F3,F4) ;(4) F0 and F4 are independent. In general, to define the joint probability distribution P(F0,…,F4) one requires up to 25−1 entries in the table of probabilities. For the belief network above, one can compute the joint probability distribution P(F0,…,F4) using the following number of conditional probabilities
