Chapter 7, Problem 20PP
The Social Security Administration maintains an actuarial life table that contains the probability that a person in the United States will die (http:// www.ssa.gov/OACT/STATS/table4c6.html). The death probabilities from this table for 2009 are stored in the file LifeDeathProbability.txt and it is included on the website for the book. There are three values for each row, the age, death probability for a male, and death probability for a female. For example, the first five lines are:
| 0 0.006990 0.005728 1 0.000447 0.000373 2 0.000301 0.000241 3 0.000233 0.000186 4 0.000177 0.000150 |
This says that a 3 year old female has a 0.000186 chance of dying. Write a
If the simulation reaches age 120 then stop and predict that the user will live to 120. This program is merely a simulation and will give different results each time it is run, assuming you change the seed for the random number generator.

A basic wooden railway set contains the pieces shown in figure below. It identifies the quantityof each type of piece denoted by ‘x’. Each piece is not uniquely identified by a primary keyvalue only labeled by type. i.e., Input information only states quantity of types such as twelvestraight pieces, two branch pieces, two merge pieces, and sixteen curve pieces.
Pieces connect the knob to opening, with subtend curves extending the arc from start to end by45 degrees, and the pieces can be flipped over for track direction.
The task is to connect these pieces into a railway that has no overlapping tracks and no looseends where a train could run off onto the floor.
Question: Suppose that the pieces fit together exactly with no slack. Give a precise formulation of thetask as a search problem. Write a Java algorithm to assemble optimally solving the problem.
In this project, you will develop algorithms that find road routes through the bridges to travel between islands.
The input is a text file containing data about the given map. Each file begins with the number of rows and columns in the map considered as maximum latitudes and maximum longitudes respectively on the map. The character "X" in the file represents the water that means if a cell contains "X" then the traveler is not allowed to occupy that cell as this car is not drivable on water. The character "0" in the file represents the road connected island. That means if a cell contains "0" then the traveler is allowed to occupy that cell as this car can drive on roads.
The traveler starts at the island located at latitude = 0 and longitude = 0 (i.e., (0,0)) in the upper left corner, and the goal is to drive to the island located at (MaxLattitude-1, MaxLongitudes-1) in the lower right corner. A legal move from an island is to move left, right, up, or down to an immediately adjacent…
