b. Suppose you are gifted a collection of 3" pokéballs; all of the the pokéballs have the same size and weight except for one which is slightly heavier, and otherwise look and feel exactly the same as the others. You are tasked with identifying the heavy pokéball and have at your disposal a set of balancing scales which can be used to compare the weights of two collections of pokéballs. The scales can show whether the two collections have the same weight, or can show which collection is heavier if the weights are different. Prove using strong induction that you can identify the heavy pokéball out of 3" pokéballs using n weighing operations.

1. fInd the average win and lose rate of the crabs game 2. Find the Mean, Median, and mode of how long a player takes until he wins and loses a game.Basically find out how long each game lasts. With mean, median, and mode. This code is for python and its for the craps game. Below is the code I have so far. import randomimport sysimport pandas as pddef roll_dice():die1 = random.randrange(1, 7)die2 = random.randrange(1, 7)return (die1, die2)def display_dice(dice):die1, die2 = diceprint(f'Player rolled {die1} + {die2} = {sum(dice)}')# List that stores number of wins on every rollwinList = []# List that stores number of losses on every rolllossList = []# List that stores label indexes of horizontal bar plotylabel = []# 1# number of games of crapsn = int(input("Enter number of games: "))# Iterating 13 times# Because it is mentioned in the question that plot should have 13# horizontal bars for wins, and 13 horizontal bars for losses.for roll in range(13):ylabel.append('Roll ' + str(roll +…
Provide full C++ Code This assignment is a review of loops. Do not use anything more advanced than a loop, such as functions or arrays or classes. In the card game named 'blackjack' players get two cards to start with, and then they are asked whether or not they want more cards. Players can continue to take as many cards as they like. Their goal is to get as close as possible to a total of 21 without going over. Face cards have a value of 10. Write a command line game that plays a simple version of blackjack. The program should generate a random number between 1 and 10 each time the player gets a card. Each of the values (1 through 10) must be equally likely. (In other words, this won't be like real black jack where getting a 10 is more likely than getting some other value, because in real black jack all face cards count as 10.) It should keep a running total of the players cards, and ask the player whether or not it should deal another card. Sample output for the game is written…
Instructions for Questions 1 through 6. For each piece of pseudocode, give the runtime in terms of N. Your answer should give an exact value for the number of times the inner loop runs (i.e. the final value of count), and it should also give the order of growth of the runtimes using big-Oh notation. You can assume that N "comes out nicely" with respect to loops. For example, if the loop counts by 2, you can assume it is an even number, and if it multiplies or divides by 2 each time, you can assume it is a power of 2. Note: log(N!) is 0(NlogN).
Write a program that paints the 4 areas inside the mxm square as follow: Upper left: black. RGB (0, 0, 0) Upper right: white. RGB (255, 255, 255) Lower left: red. RGB (255, 0, 0) Lower right: random colors Random colors Hint: Define a function that paints one of the four squares. Call the function 4 times to complete the painting. (painting means setting the pixels)
During Eid, it is a tradition for every father to give his children money to spend on entertainment. Chef has N coins; denote the value of the coin i by vi. Since today is Eid, Chef gives one coin to each of his two children. He wants the absolute value of the difference between the values of the coins given to the two children to be as small as possible to be as fair as possible. Help the chef by telling him the minimum possible difference between the values of the coins given to the two children. Of course, the chef cannot give the same coin to both children. Note: Please answer in python only Possible input 1 3 142 Required Output 1

In this version of the game, the length of the snake doubles each time it eats food (e.g. if the length is 4, after eating it becomes 8). Create a function that takes the side n of the game screen and returns the number of times the snake can eat before it runs out of space in the game screen. Examples snakefill (3) → 3 snakefill (6) -5 snakefill (24) → 9
Actual timings. Instrument FrequencyCounter to use Stopwatch and StdDrawto make a plot where the x-axis is the number of calls on get() or put() and the y-axisis the total running time, with a point plotted of the cumulative time after each call.Run your program for Tale of Two Cities using SequentialSearchST and again usingBinarySearchST and discuss the results. Note : Sharp jumps in the curve may be explained by caching, which is beyond the scope of this question.
