a NOR gate. DeMorgan’s theorems state the same equivalence in "backward" form: that inverting the output of any gate results in the same function as the opposite type of gate (AND vs. OR) with inverted inputs De Morgan’s theorem is used to simplify a lot expression of complicated logic gates. For example‚ (A + (BC)’)’. The parentheses symbol is used in the example. _ The answer is A BC. Let’s apply the principles of DeMorgan’s theorems to the simplification of

central The Central Limit Theorem A long standing problem of probability theory has been to find necessary and sufficient conditions for approximation of laws of sums of random variables. Then came Chebysheve‚ Liapounov and Markov and they came up with the central limit theorem. The central limit theorem allows you to measure the variability in your sample results by taking only one sample and it gives a pretty nice way to calculate the probabilities for the total ‚ the average and the proportion
