Hi :)

I have my Discrete maths final in 2 days, and I was doing some practice questions and came across 2 parts that completely baffled me - I moved onto my course a bit late so I missed chunks from classes.

please please please, can you explain them to me? I've put the questions in pictures, they're attached :).

Ive read on the different types of relations, but its like gibberish. Can someone please simplify them? please?

For the graphs, can you state the definitions of reflexive, transitive, and (anti)symmetric that you are supposed to use?

For the predicates, what does a large dot mean? What does ":" mean?
 

Thread 'Here's a Statistics problem for game of Polo (or Hockey if you like)'

Namaste & G'day Postulate: A strongly-knit team wins on average over a less knit one Fundamentals: - Two teams face off with 4 players each - A polo team consists of players that each have assigned to them a measure of their ability (called a "Handicap" - 10 is highest, -2 lowest) I attempted to measure close-knitness of a team in terms of standard deviation (SD) of handicaps of the players. Failure: It turns out that, more often than, a team with a higher SD wins. In my language, that...

Thread 'Roulette wheel physics and probability'

Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
