There are 4 balls in a jar (2 black and 2 white). You randomly choose three balls (one by one with no replacement) and paint them according to one of the following methods (a-c) and replace them in the jar. You ask your friend to pick a ball. What is the probability that this ball is white? a. You paint them all black. b. You paint them all the same color as the first ball that is picked c. You look at the majority color (among the 3 selected ones) and paint them all that color. Write a MATLAB code to simulate each of the above 3 cases in MATLAB for 10,000 times and estimate the probability of getting a white ball in each of those cases

A coin is flipped 8 times in a row (assume all outcomes are equally likely). For each of the following questions, you should write your answer as an expression. Do not give the final numeric value. For example, you should write C(4,2)/24 instead of 0.375. Q1.1 What is the probability that it lands on heads exactly four times?
There are 7 balls hidden in a box (3 blue and 4 green). If you first select a green ball and do not replace in the box, what is the probability that the second ball you select from the box will also be green? [Your answer can be written either as a fraction or decimal]
Jack and Jill will play a game called Hotter, Colder. Jill chooses a number from 0 to 100, and Jack makes repeated attempts to guess it. For each guess, Jill will respond with: hotter - if the current guess is closer to her number than the previous guess is colder - if the current guess is farther to her number than the previous guess is same - if the current guess is as far (to her number) as the previous guess is For Jack’s first guess, since there is no previous guess yet, Jill will just answer same. Describe an algorithm or a systematic approach that Jack can follow to win the games faster (fewer guesses). Example: Jill chooses number 40. Note: Jack can guess any number from 0 to 100 at any point of the game. Jack guesses 100. Jill responds same (first guess) Jack guesses 60. Jill responds hotter (60 is closer to 40 than previous guess 100) Jack guesses 80. Jill responds colder (80 is farther from 40 than previous guess 60) Jack guesses…
A high school has 1000 students and 1000 lockers, one locker for each student. On the first day of school, the principal plays the following game: She asks the first student to open all the lockers. She then asks the second student to close all the even-numbered lockers. The third student is asked to check every third locker. If it is open, the student closes it; if it is closed, the student opens it. The fourth student is asked to check every fourth locker. If it is open, the student closes it; if it is closed, the student opens it. The remaining students continue this game. In general, the nth student checks every nth locker. If it is open, the student closes it; if it is closed, the student opens it. After all the students have taken turns, some of the lockers are open and some are closed. The program below, when ran, will prompt the user to enter the number of lockers in the school. After the game is over, the program will output the number of lockers and the lockers numbers of the…
EXERCISE - You go to a market to pick out some gourds to decorate your house for Halloween. The market has a special October deal where you get 3 randomly chosen gourdss for $10. Each gourd can either be an orange pumpkin, a green pumpkin or a squash. The probabilities for picking each one of them are: P(orange pumpkin) = 0.6, P(green pumpkin) = 0.3, and P(squash) = 0.1. A: What is the probability that the first gourd is an orange pumpkin, the second is a green pumpkin, and the third is a squash? B: What is the probability that you get all 3 as orange pumpkins? C: What is the probability that you get no squashes? D: What is the probability that you get at least one orange pumpkin? (ANSWERE USING PYTHON)
The Monty Hall game is a statistical problem: there is a TV show (like the Monty Hall show) that allows contestants to choose between three doors, A, B, and C. Behind one of these doors is a new car (the winning door), and behind the other two are goats (the losing doors). After the contestant makes a choice, the game show host shows a goat behind one of the doors NOT chosen. The contestant is then given a choice to either switch to the other, non-opened door, or stick with their original guess. The interesting part of this “game" is the statistics involved –a person has a 1/3 chance of originally picking a winning door. The other door – that which is not revealed to have a goat but also was not originally chosen – actually has a 2/3 chance of being a winning door. Therefore, it is in the contestant's best interest to switch doors. You will create a program that simulates the Monty Hall game, where the computer plays the role of the host. The program must have no outputs, but 1) Ask…

Suppose you have been hired to develop a musical chair game. In this game there will be 7participants and all of them will be moving clockwise around a set of 7 chairs organized in a circular manner while a music will be played in the background. You will control the music using random numbers between 0-3.If the generated random number is 1, you will stop the music and if the number of participants who are still in the game is n, theparticipant at position (n/2) will be eliminated. Each time a participant is eliminated, a chair will be removed and you have to print the player names who are still in the game. The game will end when there will be only one participant left. At the end of the game, display the name of the winner.[Hint: You will need to invoke a method to generate a random number between 0(inclusive) to 3 (inclusive)]write code in java or python
CS145 – PROGRAMMING ASSIGNMENT #1 OVERVIEW This is a review exercise, so the primary goal of the exercise is to get your mind working and in the correct space. In this activity you will create an imaginary cube of locations that goes from -5 < x < 5, -5 < y< 5, and -5
Sabrina is on a game show and is presented with a drawer containing 10 red socks, 10 blue socks, 10 green socks, and 10 yellow socks. Sabrina is to take socks out of the drawer and put them in a bag. She will win $1 for every sock she puts in the bag, as long as the bag does not contain 5 or more socks of one color and 5 or more socks of another color. For example, if she takes 5 red, 4 blue, 3 green, and 2 yellow socks, she would win $14. However, if she took 5 red, 5 blue, 3 green, and 2 yellow socks, she would not win anything because there are two colors (red and blue) that have 5 or more socks each. What is the most money that Sabrina can win? Enter your answer as a single integer only (no words, no dollar signs). A/ What is the minimum number n such that if n socks are removed from the drawer and put into a bag, that the bag will necessarily contain at least 5 socks of one color and at least 5 socks of another color? Enter n as a single integer, no words.
The game of Chomp is played by two players. In this game, cookies are laid out on a rectangular grid. The cookie in the top-left position is poisoned. The two players take turns making moves; at each move, a player is required to eat a remaining cookie, together with all cookies to the right and/or below (that is all the remaining cookies in the rectangle, in which the first cookie eaten is the top left corner). The loser is the player who has no choice but to eat the poisoned cookie. Prove that if the board is square (and bigger than 1 × 1) then the first player has a winning strategy.
he Dice game of “Pig” can be played with the following rules. Roll two six-sided dice. Add the face values together. Choose whether to roll the dice again or pass the dice to your opponent. If you pass, then you get to bank any points earned on your turn. Those points become permanent. If you roll again, then add your result to your previous score, but you run the risk of losing all points earned since your opponent had rolled. Continue to roll as much as you want. However, once a “1” comes up on either die, your score is reduced to 0, leaving you only with points that you have previously "banked." Furthermore, you must pass the dice to your opponent. The first person to 100 points is the winner. When a player rolls two dice, the possible outcomes are as follows: Die #2 Roll Roll a 1 Roll a 2 Roll a 3 Roll a 4 Roll a 5 Roll a 6 Die #1 Roll Roll a 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 Roll a 2 0 4 5 6 7 8 Roll a 3 0 5 6 7 8 9 Roll a 4 0 6 7 8 9 10 Roll a 5 0 7 8 9 10 11 Roll a 6 0 8 9 10…
