You are on the west bank of a river with a bag of corn, a goose, and a fox. There is a boat on this shore. You want to move all three of these to the other side of the river, but you can only bring one of these things at a time in the boat. If the goose is left alone with the corn, the corn will be eaten. If the fox is left alone with the goose, the goose will be eaten. Prepare a scenario for safely bringing these three items across the river by placing the following steps in the correct order. Note: to disambiguate the answer, bring the fox across the river before bringing the corn

Sabrina is on a game show and is presented with a drawer containing 10 red socks, 10 blue socks, 10 green socks, and 10 yellow socks. Sabrina is to take socks out of the drawer and put them in a bag. She will win $1 for every sock she puts in the bag, as long as the bag does not contain 5 or more socks of one color and 5 or more socks of another color. For example, if she takes 5 red, 4 blue, 3 green, and 2 yellow socks, she would win $14. However, if she took 5 red, 5 blue, 3 green, and 2 yellow socks, she would not win anything because there are two colors (red and blue) that have 5 or more socks each. What is the most money that Sabrina can win? Enter your answer as a single integer only (no words, no dollar signs). A/ What is the minimum number n such that if n socks are removed from the drawer and put into a bag, that the bag will necessarily contain at least 5 socks of one color and at least 5 socks of another color? Enter n as a single integer, no words.
Assume a very good NBA team has a 70% chance of winning in each game it plays. Use simulation to answer these questions, where each iteration of the simulation generates the outcomes of all 82 games. Use simulation with 10,000 iterations to answer the questions. For part a, write your numerical answer with no decimal or commas (e.g., if your computed answer is 101,021.128, write your answer as 101021). For part b, write your probability answer to two decimal places with a leading 0 (e.g., write a probability of 90.02% as 0.90). a. During an 82-game season what is the average length of the team's longest winning streak? The average length of the winning streak is . b. What is the probability that the team has a winning streak of at least 16 games? The probability is
Conway's Game of Life: This is a zero person game with the following rules: (see Wikipedia for example) Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if by underpopulation. Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation. Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overpopulation. Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction. Remember the oscillator or blinker of 3 cells. You can also find this blinker on Wikipedia. 1 21 1 2 1 21 3. 4 6 4. 6. 4 8. 9 8 9 #1 #2. #3 5. Consider now these 3 creatures at stage 1: Show how they look like in the next two stages: stage 2 and stage 3. Explain how you get the answers Creature 1 Creature 2 Creature 3 (here creature 1 is the blinker of 3 cells, horizontally; creature 2 consists of two adjacent cells, creature 3 consists of 4 adjacent cells horiztonally) ww (d) Creature 1 (10%), (e) Creature 2 (8%), (f) Creature 3 (20%)
There are a set of courses, each of them requiring a set of disjoint time intervals. For example, a course could require the time from 9am to 11am and 2pm to 3pm and 4pm to 5pm. You want to know, given a number K, if it’s possible to take at least K courses. You can only take one course at any single point in time (i.e. any two courses you choose can’t overlap). Show that the problem is NP-complete, which means that choosing courses is indeed a difficult thing in our life. Use a reduction from the Independent set problem.
X-Kingdom has trapped n number of soldiers of their opponent. They want to execute them. They created a strategy so that the prisoners will kill each other and at the end one prisoner will be alive and eventually released. As part of the process, they assigned each trapped soldier a sequence number starting from 1 and ending at n. If n = 5 and k = 2, then the safe position is 3. Firstly, the person at position 2 is killed, then person at position 4 is killed, then person at position 1 is killed. Finally, the person at position 5 is killed. So, the person at position 3 survives. If n = 7 and k = 3, then the safe position is 4. The people at positions 3, 6, 2, 7, 5, 1 are killed in order, and the person at position 4 survives. Input:n and k Output:Print the list of prisoners in reverse order from n to 1Then reverse the list to print it in correct order from 1 to nDisplay the position number who will survive. You must have to use circular doubly linked list for your solution. You…
Imagine there are N teams competing in a tournament, and that each team plays each of the other teams once. If a tournament were to take place, it should be demonstrated (using an example) that every team would lose to at least one other team in the tournament.
Introduction There is some bad news to be delivered, and X has taken on the dangerous mission. Nobody really wants to be the one to take the news; the way goes through enemy territory and, even if the messenger gets through, the classic fate of the bearer of bad news may be waiting. (Let's just say, this is how the phrase "Don't shoot the messenger" became relevant.) To determine which messenger will be sent, X sits all of his messengers down in a circle, selects a number, and starts to count off. Messengers are allowed to leave the circle one by one, and the last messenger left is the one who will deliver the bad news. The counting off procedure is slightly unusual, however, because it is actually the messenger after the last one counted who gets to leave the circle. Consider the following example with 5 messengers, in which the number selected for counting off is 7. We'll start at the "head" of the list and move forward. Since it is circular, the "head" simply refers to whatever the…
Suppose a person can buy a chocolate bar from the vending machine for $1 each. Inside every chocolate bar is a coupon. A person can redeem 3 coupons for one chocolate bar from the machine. This means that once a person has started buying chocolate bars from the machine, he/she always has some coupons. A person would like to know how many chocolate bars can be bought, if a person starts with N dollars and always redeem coupons, if he/she has enough for an additional chocolate bar. For example: With 3 dollars a person could buy 4 chocolate bars after purchasing 3 bars giving him/her 3 coupons and then redeeming the 3 coupons for one bar. This would leave him/her with one extra coupon. Thus, will have 4 chocolate bars and still have one coupon leftover. For 11 dollars, a person can have 16 chocolate bars and still have one coupon leftover. For 12 dollars, a person can have 17 chocolate bars and have two coupons leftover. Write a complete Python program that prompts a buyer to input…
A robot is a programmable machine that can carry out a series of automated tasks. The final lab for the semester is to build a robot of your own design. Your robot should contain at least two sensors, and two output mechanisms that work together to perform a task. Sensors can be something like a temperature or light sensor. Output mechanisms can be things like servo motors or lights. In order to make sure that the task your robot performs is sufficiently complex to meet the objectives of the course you will need to write a proposal that answers the questions below.1. Describe the purpose or goal of your robot. Answer the question, “Why does this robot exist?” What problem does it solve? What are some of the challenges to solving that problem?2. Describe how your robot will solve the problem. What sensors will it use? How will it behave based on the inputs and how will it overcome the challenges presented?3. How will you know if your robot successfully meets its goals? What tests will…

You have to carry the different objects in your bag in a way such that the reward is maximized without exceeding the weight limit. You can carry an object exactly once but you always have to carry the object labeled “H”. Encode the problem and create an initial population of 4 different chromosomes. Explain what would be an appropriate fitness function for this problem. Use the fitness function and perform natural selection to choose the 2 fittest chromosomes. Using the selected chromosomes perform a single point crossover to get 2 offspring. Perform mutation and check the fitness of the final offspring. Explain your work.
Mastermind is a code-breaking game for two players. In the original real-world game, one player A selects 4 pegs out of 6 colors and puts them in a certain fixed order; multiples of colors are possible (for example, red-green red-green). His opponent B does not know the colors or order but has to find out the secret code. To do so, B makes a series of guesses, each evaluated by the first player. A guess consists of an ordered set of colors which B believes is the code. The first player A evaluates the guess and feeds back to B how many positions and colors are correct. A position is correct ("black") if the guess and the secret code have the same color. Additional colors are correct ("white"), if they are in the guess and the code, but not at the same location. For example1 2 3 4secret: red-green red greenguess: red blue green purpleresults in one correct position ("black = 1") for the red peg at position one and one additional correct color ("white=1") for the green peg in the guess.…
There is a penalty kick scenario: the striker can shoot left, right or middle. Similarly, the goalkeeper can jump to the left, right or stay in the middle. Assume the striker never misses the goal when shooting to the center or to the left corner but misses 20% of the shots to the right corner. Further assume the goalkeeper can prevent a goal in 50% when he jumps to the correct corner, or 100% of the shots in the middle if he stays in the middle. 1) write down the bimatrix 2) for the striker, "right" is not a best response to any pure strategy. Find a mixed strategy such that "right" is the best response to sigma2.
