2. Which Boolean operation, AND, OR or NOT, is appropriate for each of the following:
a. Detecting motion in any motion sensor surrounding a house (each motion
sensor outputs 1 when motion is detected).
b. Detecting that three buttons are being pressed simultaneously (each button
outputs 1 when a button is being pressed).
c. Detecting the absence of light from a light sensor (the light sensor outputs 1
when light is sensed).

10. Create a Boolean equation representation of the digital circuit shown below:
a. F(a,b,c) = a’ + bc’
b. F(a,b,c) = (ab)’ + ac’ + bc
c. F(a,b,c) = ab + ac + ab’c’ + c’
d. F(a,b,c,d) = a’bc + d’
13. Convert the function F shown in the truth table to an equivalent Boolean equation.
16. Determine whether the Boolean function G = a’b’c + ab’c + abc’ + abc is equivalent
to the function represented by the circuit.

17. Draw the truth table for the function F given as sum of minterms.
19. Suppose an analog audio signal comes in over a wire, and the voltage on the wire can range
from 0 Volts (V) to 3 V. You want to convert the analog signal to a digital signal. You decide
to encode each sample using two bits, such that 0 V would be encoded as 00, 1 V as 01, 2
V as 10, and 3 V as 11. You sample the signal every 1 millisecond and detect the following
sequence of voltages:
0V 0V 1V 2V 3V 2V 1V.
20. Encode the following words into bits using the ASCII encoding table.
a. LET
b. RESET!
c. HELLO $1
