For each of the following pairs of events, A and B, determine whether A and B are dependent or not.Show your calculations and briefly explain.(a) We have a deck of 52 playing cards, from which we draw two cards in turn. Let A denote the eventthat the first card we draw is a King. Let B denote the event that the second card we draw is aQueen.(b) We have one fair die (also called a dice). Each of the six faces come up with equal probabilities 1/6.We throw the dice two times in a row. Let A denote the event that the first throw yields a six. LetB denote the event that the second throw yields a six.(c) We draw a bit-string x of length 4 uniformly at random among all bit-strings of length 4. If thehamming weight of x is even, then we draw a bit-string y of length 6 uniformly at random among allbit-strings of length 6. If the hamming weight of x is odd, then we draw a bit-string y of length 42uniformly at random among all bit-strings of length 42. Let A denote the event that the…

The MDP has three states (x, y, and z), with rewards -1, -2, 0, respectively. State z is considered a terminal state. In states and y there are two possible actions: a₁ and a2. The transition model is as follows: In state x, action a1 moves the agent to state y with probability 0.9 and makes the agent stay put with probability 0.1. In state y, action a1 moves the agent to state with probability 0.9 and makes the agent stay put with probability 0.1.
