a) Many SSTA021 students came to the lecturer's office to consult prior to the test
about what was taught during lectures. The lecturer, is very concerned that some
of her students have not been attending SSTA021 lessons and wanted to check
among her students, who have been attending and who was not. As a result, he
asked them to solve by deriving the following question in order to check those who
have been attending.
