The missionaries and cannibals problem is usually stated as follows. Three mission-aries and three cannibals are on one side of a river, along with a boat that can hold one or twopeople. Find a way to get everyone to the other side, without ever leaving a group of mis-sionaries in one place outnumbered by the cannibals in that place. This problem is famous inAI because it was the subject of the first paper that approached problem formulation from ananalytical viewpoint (Amarel, 1968).a. Formulate the problem precisely, making only those distinctions necessary to ensure avalid solution. Draw a diagram of the complete state space.b. Implement and solve the problem optimally using an appropriate search algorithm. Is ita good idea to check for repeated states?c. Why do you think people have a hard time solving this puzzle, given that the state spaceis so simple?

A medical Centre can have many doctors. A doctor can be scheduled for many appointments but may not have any scheduled appointment at all. A patient can schedule request for one or more appointments. However, every appointment is about only one patient. As a result of every appointment, there must be a bill. One payment is applied to exactly 1 bill, and 1 bill can be paid off over time by several payments. A bill can be outstanding, having nothing yet paid on it at all. One patient can make many payments, but a single payment is made by only 1 patient. Some patients are insured by an insurance company. If they are insured, they can only carry insurance with one company. An insurance company can have many patients carry their policies. For patients that carry insurance, the insurance company will make payments, each single payment is made by exactly 1 insurance company. (Hint: final ERD must include 7 tables.) a) Identify the entities with attributes and keys (primary and foreign keys).…
Consider the doctor-patient problem. There is a Doctor's clinic which has one Doctor, one patient chair, and n chairs for waiting for patients if there are any to sit on the chair. If there is no patient, then the Doctor sleeps in his own chair. When a patient arrives, he has to wake up the Doctor. If there are many patients and the Doctor is treating a patient, then the remaining patients either wait if there are empty chairs in the waiting room or they leave if no chairs are empty. Write a solution (Algorithm / Pseudocode) using semaphores.
Need a implementation plan for this : Our aim is to take increase toy paratrooper flight time with the parachutes provided and find suitable alternatives to reduce its descent through the most feasible means. The justification for increased flight time being if we were to take these model paratroopers to represent actual paratroopers' lower descent speeds will provide safer landings and more maneuverable descents. We learned through observation that our paratrooper's initial descent is practically freefall and extremely erratic which gives us our main point of optimization. Our only variables which we can alter are wind resistance provided by said parachute, elevation, conditions(temperature) within a margin, and weight. We will make alterations where it is possible to reach our goal of a practical lower descent speed and thereby an increase in descent time and more stable, safe flight for our toy paratroopers.
Q1 Dan has a list of problems suitable for the assignment. The difficulties of these problems are stored in a list of integers a. The i-th problem’s difficulty is represented by a[i] (the higher the integer, the more difficult the problem). Dan is too busy eating saltines to worry about assignment decisions, so he asks Michael to select at least two problems from the list for the assignment. Since there are many possible subsets of the problems to consider and Michael has a life, he decides to consider only sublists (definition follows) of the list of problems. To make grading the assignment easier, Michael wants to pick problems that don’t vary too much in difficulty. What is the smallest difference between the difficulties of the most difficult selected problem and the least difficult selected problem he can achieve by selecting a sublist of length at least 2 of the original list of problems? Definition: A sublist of a list a is any list you can obtain by removing some (possibly 0)…
