b) The e-mail address of every user can be retrieved whenever the archive at least one message sent by every user on the system.
c) For every security breach there is at least one mechanism that can detect that breach if and only if there is a process that has not been compromised.
d) There are at least two paths connecting every two distinct endpoints on the network.

- Assume that in a university with 1000 students, 200students are taking a course in mathematics, 300 aretaking a course in physics, and 50 students are takingboth. How many students are taking at least one of thosecourses? How many are taking none of those courses? Howmany students are taking only Mathematics?arrow_forwardUrban Community College is planning to offer courses in Finite Math, Applied Calculus, and Computer Methods. Each section of Finite Math holds 40 students and earns the college $1,300 in revenue per student. Each section of Applied Calculus holds 45 students and earns the college $1,600 per student, and each section of Computer Methods holds 15 students and earns the college $1,900 per student. Assuming that the college can offer a total of seven sections, wishes to accommodate 240 students, and wishes to bring in $357,000 in revenues, how many sections of each course should it offer?arrow_forwardConstruct a Venn Diagram for the scenario. Suppose that a total of 208 students are enrolled in a Math course which offers three classes under Instructor X, Instructor Y, and Instructor Z. 4 students are enrolled under all three instructors. 48 students are enrolled under Instructor. Y. Twice as many students are enrolled under Instructor Y and Z (but not Instructor X) as those who are enrolled under both Instructor Y and X (but not Instructor Z), and 4 times as many as those enrolled under all three instructors. 124 students are enrolled in Instructor Z. 27 students are not enrolled in any class. Students enrolled under both Instructor Y and Z (but not Instructor X) is exactly the same size as the students enrolled under both Instructor X and Z.arrow_forward
- What is the induced fuzzy set of B1 in terms of the extension principle?B2?arrow_forwardDetermine the output for each of the following Boolean circuits. (please show work)arrow_forwardThe International Telecommunications Union (ITU) specifies that a telephone number must consist of a country code with between 1 and 3 digits, except that the code 0 is not available for use as a country code, followed by a number with at most 15 digits. How many available possible telephone numbers are there that satisfy these restrictions?arrow_forward
- Write each biconditional as two conditionals that are converses of each other.9. Points are collinear if and only if they all lie in one line. 10. Points lie in one plane if and only if they are coplanar.arrow_forwardSuppose a Knowledge Base (KB) agent having premises is as follows:1. If it is humid, then it is hot (Q ----> P)2. If it hot and humid, then it will rain (P & Q ----> R) Question: A) Now, if the KB agent receives an input telling the weather is very humid, proof that it will rain.B) Similar with Question A, But proofing is performed using resolution.arrow_forwardBy constructing an Euler Diagram, determine whether the following arguments are validor invalid.arrow_forward
