Consider a set of disease causing viruses and they show symptoms after infecting a person
which are more or less similar. If any two viruses after exchanging the genetic material gives
rise to a mutant and this mutant shows symptoms common to that of previous viruses then
what is the likelihood for the viruses to cause the symptom due to the mutant to lie entirely in
the set of symptoms caused by the viruses individually?

Likelihood of symptom similarity.Consider a set of disease causing viruses and they show symptoms after infecting a person which are more or less similar. If any two viruses after exchanging the genetic material gives rise to a mutant and this mutant shows symptoms common to that of previous viruses then what is the likelihood for the viruses to cause the symptom due to the mutant to lie entirely in the set of symptoms caused by the viruses individually?

The likelihood for the mutant virus to cause symptoms that lie entirely within the set of symptoms caused by the individual viruses depends on the degree of similarity between the genetic material of the original viruses.

If the original viruses have very similar genetic material, then the likelihood of the mutant virus causing symptoms that are entirely within the set of symptoms caused by the original viruses is high. This is because the genetic material exchanged between the original viruses is likely to be similar to the genetic material of the original viruses.

On the other hand, if the original viruses have very different genetic material, then the likelihood of the mutant virus causing symptoms that are entirely within the set of symptoms caused by the original viruses is low. This is because the genetic material exchanged between the original viruses is likely to be very different from the genetic material of the original viruses.

Therefore, the likelihood for the mutant virus to cause symptoms entirely within the set of symptoms caused by the individual viruses depends on the degree of similarity between the original viruses

Theoretical application of set in Covid 19 for child, young and adult. By giving appropriate example. (specified place like:Kathmandu, Pokhara, Birgunj, Janakpur,etc)


One theoretical application of set theory in the context of COVID-19 could be to analyze the age distribution of the virus among different populations in different regions of Nepal, such as Kathmandu, Pokhara, Birgunj, Janakpur, etc.


For example, we can define three sets: one for children (ages 0-12), one for young people (ages...

2nd page ma Harry is an actor kina statement vayena??

Hi @UNKNOWN,

When we talk about logic in general, asentence can be considered a statement if and only if its truth or falsity can be determined for certain.

Harry is an actor.

Harry who? This is uncertain and therefore debatable. Hence, because of the ambiguity, the sentence is not accepted as a valid statement.

I hope this answers your question. Feel free to ask any more question(s) that you may have.


Thanks for reading the notes. Happy learning!
