3. (6 points) determine whether the relation r on the set a is an equivalence relation a. (3 pts) a = {1,2,3,4, 5) r={(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (2,2), (2,3), (3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5) opc b. (3 pts) a = {a, b, c r={(a, a), (a, c), (b, b), (c, a), (c, c)}

a is not an equivalence relation.

b is an equivalence relation.

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

A = {1,2,3,4, 5) R={(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (2,2), (2,3), (3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5)

To see if is an equivalence relation you need to see if you have these 3 things:

Part 1: xRx for all x in A. This is the reflexive property.

Do we? Yes we have all these points in R: (1,1), (2,2) ,(3,3) ,(4,4), and (5,5).

Part 2: If xRy then yRx. This is the symmetic property.

Do we? We have (1,2) but not (2,1). So it isn't symmetric.

Part 3: If xRy and yRz then xRz.

Do we? We are not going to check this because there is no point. We have to have all 3 parts fot it be an equivalence relation.

b.

A = {a, b, c} R={(a, a), (a, c), (b, b), (c, a), (c, c)}

To see if is an equivalence relation you need to see if you have these 3 things:

Part 1: xRx for all x in A. This is the reflexive property.

Do we? Yes we have all these points in R: (a,a),(b,b), and (c,c).

Part 2: If xRy then yRx. This is the symmetric property.

Do we? We have (a,c) and (c,a). We don't need to worry about any other (x,y) since there are no more with x and y being different. This is symmetric.

Part 3: If xRy and yRz then xRz.

Do we? We do have (a,c), (c,a), and (a,a).

We do have (c,a), (a,c), and (c,c).

So it is transitive.

Question b has all 3 parts so it is an equivalence relation.

median is the value separating the higher half of a data sample, a population or probablity distribution from the lower half.

step-by-step explanation:

say you have 3,8,7,3,1,9,8 order them from lowest to highest

if orderd it would be 1,3,3,7,8,8,9 now you take away from the lowest and the highest until you end up in the middle.

so you would remove the 1 and 9 leaving you with 5 digits remaining

when you've reached the middle that would be your answer so in this case the answer is 7

if there were two numbers left say 7 and 5 you'd and them together so 12 then divide by 2 witch would equal 6 so the answer would be 6

good luck on that project hoped i you at all
