3. [5 points] Prove by induction on that 4. [5 points] Explain what is wrong with the following proof by induction that all Ateneo CS majors have the same gender. Proof by induction on the number of Ateneo CS majors. Basis: There is only one Ateneo CS major. Clearly, all such major are the same gender. Inductive Hypothesis: In any group of N Ateneo CS majors, the students have the same gender. Inductive Step: Consider a group of N+1 Ateneo CS majors. Remove one student. The remaining group has N students. By the inductive hypothesis, the N students are the same gender. Put the student back and remove a different student, also a group of N students remains. By the inductive hypothesis, these N students are also of the same gender. Since the student not currently in the group was shown to have the same gender one step earlier, all N+1 students have the same gender. Thus all Ateneo CS majors have the same gender.
