Question 7

Hi, Z can only be with F for L, because we are told that those are the only two things that can go with it. I think what the video was trying to get across was that unless we are told specifically that the only things that can go somewhere are X and y, then other options could still go there. Since we don't have any rule telling us that F can only go in X or z, I don't think that's what that means.BibianaM on August 18, 2023
I'm sorry I made a typo I meant Z can only be with F or L. So to restate my question correctly, does the first rule in the question mean that Z CANNOT be with anything BUT F or L. So the "Or Rule" in general would limit whatever variables it includes? Like this rule would majorly limit the variable. Does that make sense..?Emil-Kunkin on August 20, 2023
Ah thank you, makes perfect sense now. So the first rule does indeed mean that the only things that could be with Z are f and l. When we set up and either or situation like this we have only those two options. So here z must be with f or l, and if z isn't with f, z is with l, or visa versa. This rule does indeed majorly limit Z.
