    Note that you have two different operations $land$ and $lor$. We don't have associativity with these two different operations. It might help you to compare it with $+,cdot$. For example $(4+2)cdot 3 not = 4+(2cdot 3)$.

If $p$ is true then the first is automatically true. If $q$ is false then the second is automatically false.



I have no idea what you mean by $sim$ but it doesn't even matter.

    $begingroup$

    The statement $pveeneg p$ is a true statement in Boolean algebra.



    Then:



    $$pvee(neg pwedge q)=(pveeneg p)wedge(pvee q)=pvee q$$by distribution and:$$(pveeneg p)wedge q=q$$



    If you are approaching with truth tables then you encounter the difference for $q=0$ and $p=1$.

        The term $(pveeneg p)vee q$ is equivalent to $q$ since term in parenthesis is logically true.



        The term $pvee (neg pwedge q)$ has the truth value $1$ if $p=1$ independent of the value of $q$.

                                      The term $(pveeneg p)vee q$ is equivalent to $q$ since term in parenthesis is logically true.



                                      The term $pvee (neg pwedge q)$ has the truth value $1$ if $p=1$ independent of the value of $q$.

                                          Pour les articles homonymes, voir Ellipse. L'ellipse est le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante. Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane. On retrouve aussi, en première approximation [ 1 ] , des ellipses dans les trajectoires des corps célestes (planètes, comètes ou satellites arti...

                                          up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2 ...
