Suppose your final examination consists of eight problems. Let us suppose you have no clue how to do any of the problems. You will discover this predicament using a somewhat strange strategy. Specifically, (a) you choose one of the eight problems at random, and then (b) you study it for 60 seconds, whereupon you repeat (a). The strategy you are to adopt does not skip problems you have already studied. What is the expected number of minutes that will pass before you will have studied all questions on your final examination? In the space provided, write your numerical answer. If your numerical answer is a fractional value, write your answer in decimal notation Your answer

Describe an (preferably recent) occasion in which you applied Pólya’s four steps to solve a real-world problem. Please be specific in your description
Even an objective computer software can struggle with judging rules. The official rules of football (or soccer, as some people call it) state that the referee may allow play to continue "when the team against which an offence has been committed will benefit from such an advantage" and may penalise "the original offence if the anticipated advantage does not ensue at that time" (Federation Internationale de Football Association 2003).How would you put this rule into action? What are the obstacles involved?
#2 is giving me problems. Help eould be appreciated!
Solve the problems then evaluate the answers and identify a pattering to the results
Judging rules can be difficult – even for an objective computer program. In football (orsoccer as some people call it), the official rules say that the referee can allow the playto continue ‘when the team against which an offence has been committed will benefitfrom such an advantage’ and penalize ‘the original offence if the anticipated advantagedoes not ensue at that time’ (Federation Internationale de Football Association 2003).How would you implement this rule? What difficulties are involved in it?
In the realm of programming, the desirability of greater access to information outweighs that of limited access. However, it is ill-advised to solely rely on performance as the determining factor in decision-making?
answer with proper explanation and step by step solution. Could really use some help on this problem!
Question: Start from any random state of the 8 puzzle problem. State the goal state for your problem. Then simulate the possible states that a stochastic hill climbing search and a first choice hill climbing search might take from the given state using manhattan distance heuristic. N.B. for stochastic hill climbing you can try to find the solution 2 times.
A problem with optimization is specified:The input is one instance as a prerequisite.Postconditions: The result is one of the acceptable solutions in this situation, with the best (minimum or maximum, as appropriate) success metric. (The outputted solution need not be original.)

To what extent do we need to define "critical thought"? I'm curious as to your thoughts on this claim.
