Population Partial Order
In a population of 10 people, let \(R \) be the "older than" relation and \(T \) be the "taller than" relation.
-
Which of the following properties guarantee that \(R \) will be a linear order?
-
Assume both \(R \) and \(T \) are linear orders. Which properties are guaranteed to be true for the product relation \(R \times T \)?
Not symmetric because two distinct people cannot both be older and taller than each other.
Not reflexive because a person cannot be older/taller than himself.
Not linear because if person \(A \) is older than person \(B \) but \(B \) is taller than \(A \), then \(A\) and \(B\) are incomparable.
