Q.1\ Suppose that I want to purchase a
tablet computer. I can choose either a large
or small screen; a 64GB, 128GB, or 256GB
storage capacity, and black or white cover.
How many different options do I have.
Tolman and his colleagues taught a rat to run down a
starting alley of a maze into a large circular area.
From the circular area, another alley exited straight
across from the entrance and turned and ended up
in a goal box, which was actually to the right of the
circular area.
Goal
Start
Then Tolman wanted to see if the rat had learned the
general direction of the goal box where the food was
stored (i.e. to the far left, to the far right, etc). So, he
blocked the entrance of that "learned" path, but still
gave the rat 4 opening paths to reach the goal.
However, only one path turned out to be the correct
one. Then he gave the rat 32 attempts to reach the
goal. He found the rat attempt each pathway from
left to right with the following attempts: 4, 5, 8, and
15.
In a famous study done in the 1960s two dolphins, Doris and Buzz,
were trained to work together to earn fish. Doris was shown a light
underwater. If the light was on steadily, her partner Buzz on the
other side of the tank needed to press a button on the right for
them to earn fish. If the light was blinking, he needed to press a
button on the left.
At one point in the study, the researcher hung a canvas in the
middle of the tank in such a way that Buzz could not see the light.
After looking at the light, Doris "swam near the curtain and began
to whistle loudly. Shortly after that Buzz whistled back and then
pressed the correct button". (Tintle, Rossman and Chance, MAA
Prep Workshop)
Of course, getting it right once was not enough to convince the
scientists that there was really communication going on. It turned
out, that in 15 out of 16 trials the dolphin pushed the correct
button.
Of course, it is possible that this happened just out of random
chance - that the second dolphin just…

In Plan I, the service connects city A with city B through city C where the rail makes a stop to load or unload passengers.

The time it takes to service the train at each node is 0.5 hours. In the alternative Plan II, the train company considers to stop servicing the smaller city C, in order to provide a better level of service for the users in the city A and city B. PLAN II According to Plan II, the travel time between the major cities A and B in both directions will be reduced to 3.5 hours.
