Alice and Bob are playing a match to see who is the first to win n games, for some fixed n > 0. Suppose Alice and Bob are equally competent, that is, each of them wins a game with probability 1/2. Further, suppose that they have already played i + j games, of which Alice won i and Bob won j.
Give an efficient algorithm to compute the probability that Alice will go on to win the match. For example, if i = n − 1 and j = n − 3, then the probability that Alice will win the match is 7/8, since she must win any of the next three games.

- Use R to answer the following question According to the central limit theorem, the sum of n independent identically distributed random variables will start to resemble a normal distribution as n grows large. The mean of the resulting distribution will be n times the mean of the summands, and the variance n times the variance of the summands. Demonstrate this property using Monte Carlo simulation. Over 10,000 trials, take the sum of 100 uniform random variables (with min=0 and max=1). Note: the variance of the uniform distribution with min 0 and max 1 is 1/12. Include: 1. A histogram of the results of the MC simulation 2. A density plot of a normal distribution with the appropriate mean and standard deviation 3. The mean and standard deviation of the MC simulation. ps(plz do not use chatgpt)arrow_forwardAlgorithm A search using the heuristic h(n) = α for some fixed constant α > 0 is guaranteed to find an optimal solution Select one: True Falsearrow_forwardPlease, answer the whole question. Suppose you toss n biased coins independently. Given positive integers n and k, along with a set of non-negative real numbers p1,..., pn in [0, 1], where pi is the probability that the ith coin comes up head, your goal is to compute the probability of obtaining exactly k heads when tossing these n biased coins. Design an O(nk)-time algorithm for this task. Explain the algorithm, write down the pseudo code and do run time analysis.arrow_forward

To remove pet owners’ biases regarding breed, age, or looks, they are led blindfolded into a room containing all the cats up for adoption and must bring home whichever they pick up. Suppose you are trying to adopt two cats, and the shelter contains a total of N cats in one of only two colors: black or orange. is it still possible to pick up two black cats with probability ½, given that there is an even number of orange cats in the room? If so, how many cats should be in the room? How many black, how many orange?arrow_forward
