Q2.
An online quiz asks students questions about computer science topics.
A player earns a badge for every 100 questions they answer correctly, providing this includes at least 10
hard questions or 30 medium questions.
This can be expressed as (NQ >= 100) and (HQ >= 10 or MQ >= 30).

Q5.
A car park uses a number plate recognition system.
Customers pay online in advance to use the car park. Members of staff do not have to pay.
When a car arrives at the exit barrier, the system checks three conditions:
1) The number plate (P) has been recorded by the system.
2) Enough time (T) has been paid for.
3) The car belongs to a member of staff (S).

Construct a Boolean logic statement, using P, T and S, to represent the conditions necessary for the
system to raise the exit barrier.

Q6.
Modern society depends on many different embedded systems to function properly.
Boolean expressions can be used to represent logical behaviours.
• The lights in a room are controlled by an embedded system.
• There is a power (P) switch to control the lights.
• A movement (M) sensor will turn the lights on when there is a person in the room, provided the
power switch has been left in the on position.
• An override (O) switch will turn the lights on, regardless of the state of the movement sensor,
provided the power switch has been left in the on position.
Construct a logic statement to represent the logic of this behaviour, using the symbols P, M, and O.

Q7.
Computer systems run software programs. The programs provide the instructions needed for the
computer to handle the input, processing and output of data.
Truth tables are used to show how digital output relates to input.
Complete the truth table for the AND and OR statements.
