(2) problem from slides: 3 guys on death row -- only one will be not executed tomorrow morning the guard told to John that Pete (among Pete and Paul) will be executed before John got the answer the probability was 1/3, after John got the answer, he is happy: probability 1/2 should he be happy? what's wrong?

In the new post-apocalyptic world, the world queen is desperately concernedabout the birth rate. Therefore, she decrees that all families should ensure that they have one girl orelse they face massive fines. If all families abide by this policy-that is, they have continue to havechildren until they have one girl, at which point they immediately stop-what will the gender ratioof the new generation be? (Assume that the odds of someone having a boy or a girl on any givenpregnancy is equal.) Solve this out logically and then write a computer simulation of it.
Problem 17.6. There were n Immortal Warriors born into our world, but in the end there can be only one. The Immortals’ original plan was to stalk the world for centuries, dueling one another with ancient swords in dramatic landscapes until only one survivor remained. However, after a thought-provoking discussion probability, they opt to give the following protocol a try: (i) The Immortals forge a coin that comes up heads with probability p. (ii) Each Immortal flips the coin once. (iii) If exactly one Immortal flips heads, then they are declared The One. Otherwise, the protocol is declared a failure, and they all go back to hacking each other up with swords. One of the Immortals (Kurgan from the Russian steppe) argues that as n grows large, the probability that this protocol succeeds must tend to zero. Another (McLeod from the Scottish highlands) argues that this need not be the case, provided p is chosen carefully. (a) A natural sample space to use to model this problem is fH; T g n…

Write a python code of this problem Problem Statement Assume that there are two teams and they are team attacker and team defender. Therefore, at a state of the game one agent in each team is left alive respectively. Here, the defender is given a lifeline called HP which will be assigned randomly. Furthermore, the attacker agent will try to give maximum negative HP to the defender agent to decrease his(d) chances of survival in the game. On the other hand, the defender agent will try to protect himself by receiving the lowest negative HP possible from the attacker agent. Furthermore, the attacker can have a choice from a number of bullets from his gun and the optimal moves will cost a certain maximum negative HP (chosen from randomly assigned values within the range of minimum and maximum negative HP). Here, are the following things you need to do using Alpha-Beta Pruning algorithm: Sample Input 1: Enter your student id: 17301106 Minimum and Maximum value for the…
The missionaries and cannibals problem is usually stated as follows. Three missionariesand three cannibals are on one side of a river, along with a boat that can hold one ortwo people. Find a way to get everyone to the other side without ever leaving a group of missionariesin one place outnumbered by the cannibals in that place. This problem is famous inAI because it was the subject of the first paper that approached problem formulation from ananalytical viewpoint (Amarel, 1968).b. Implement and solve the problem optimally using an appropriate search algorithm. (Mention the name of the search algorithm, and write the complete answers, Draw the answer using the searching algorithms with complete and all paths and branches.)
John is training for a marathon and he can easily alternate between running a mile and walking a mile. If he runs for 2 miles in a row, he becomes fatigued, and must then walk for 2 miles in a row in order to no longer be fatigued. When he is fatigued, he can still alternate between running a mile and walking a mile, but if he runs 2 miles in a row while already fatigued, he will collapse on the side of the road. If he runs 3 miles in a row at any point, he will also collapse. Let the letter 'a' stand for John running 1 mile, and the letter 'b' stand for John walking 1 mile. Draw a DFA which accepts all possible runs in which John does not collapse on the side of the road.
You could postpone the meeting until Leslie is able to attend and thus allow Leslie to present the alternative to yours. Doing so, however, increases the likelihood that the committee selects Leslie’s alternative, and you firmly believe that decision will be fatal to the company. a.According to Kant’s categorical imperative, is a decision not to postpone ethical? b. According to utilitarianism, is a decision not to postpone ethical?
Question 15 pap Suppose we have a Monte Carlo algorithm, A, and a deterministic algorithm, B, for testing if the output of A is correct. How can we use A and B to construct a Las Vegas algorithm? Also, if A succeeds with probability ½ and both A and B run O(n) time, what is the expected running time of the Las Vegas algorithm that is produced? Full explain this question and text typing work only We should answer our question within 2 hours takes more time then we will reduce Rating Dont ignore this line

8. Which of the following statements about linear programming is FALSE? Select one: a. If the change of the objective coefficient is out of the range of optimality, the optimal solution in terms of decision variables will usually change. b. A redundant constraint is also a non-binding constraint. c. In sensitivity analysis of LP problem, if the resource has been used up, the shadow price would be non-zero. d. A difference between minimization and maximization problems is that minimization problems often have unbounded regions. e. If the RHS of a constraint changes in a profit maximization problem, the iso-profit line will change as well.
3. Display the following on a common, four-case truth table. Use “M” and “C” for “Moriarty is guilty” and “Crun is guilty.” (a) Either Moriarty and Crun are both guilty or Crun is innocent. (b) Either Crun is guilty or both he and Moriarty are. (c) Either Moriarty is guilty or both he and Crun are innocent. (d) Either Moriarty is guilty or Crun is innocent or both are guilty. (e) They are not both guilty, and at least one is innocent. j i f) Either both are guilty or Moriarty is but Crun is not. (g] Either they are not both guilty or they are not both innocent. Which are tautologies? Among the rest, which imply which others? Which imply that Moriarty is guilty? Which imply that Crun is guilty? The seven statements a to g are not jointly satisfiable, but certain six membered subsets are. Which? Which of the seven are individually satisfiable?
