What is a characteristic feature of minterms in logic diagrams?
Containing variables with multiple occurrences
What is the relationship between Maxterms and the F' minterms for a Boolean function F?
Maxterms of F = F' minterms
Why is reducing the number of gates important in minimizing a Boolean function/logic circuits?
To lead to a more reliable and cheaper chip
What does the statement 'Sum-of-products may contain more terms than necessary' imply in Boolean logic?
It implies that simplification is necessary for optimization
In Boolean variables, what does 'the term of the literals used are equal NOT THE OPERATIONS' mean?
The terms formed by literals need to be equal, regardless of the operations involved
Why does the efficiency of circuits depend on the number and arrangement of gates?
The number and arrangement of gates determine circuit reliability and cost

What characteristic must the number of groups have in this context?
Power of 2
What is the significance of homogeneous content in options when constructing distractors?
It ensures plausible distractors
