Suppose the agent has progressed to the point shown in Figure 7.4(a), page 239, having perceived nothing in [1,1], a breeze in [2,1], and a stench in [1,2], and is now concerned with the contents of [1,3], [2,2], and [3,1]. Each of these can contain a pit, and at most one can contain a wumpus. Following the example of Figure 7.5, construct the set of possible worlds. (You should find 32 of them.) Mark the worlds in which the KB is true and those in which
each of the following sentences is true:
α2 = “There is no pit in [2,2].”
α3 = “There is a wumpus in [1,3].”
Hence show that KB |= α2 and KB |= α3.
Explanation of Solution
True statement
- There are eight possible combinations in the three squares.
- There are four possibilities for the wumpus location.
- KB |= α2 is true because in every line KB is true and also has α2 true.
- This is similar in the case of α3.

- Consider a world with two species, emotional and unemotional. In this world emotional beings are deemed weaker than their unemotional counterparts. However, emotional beings are necessary for the overall population to survive. Using genetic algorithm, maintain a balance between these two species in such a way that the overall population is stronger, and its chances of survival are better collectively. Marks will be awarded based on the completeness, clarity and correctness of your solution.arrow_forwardFive philosophers are sitting at a round table. In the center of the table is a bowl of rice. Between each pair of philosophers is a single chopstick. A philosopher is in one of the three states: thinking, hungry or eating. At various times, a thinking philosopher gets hungry. A hungry philosopher attempts to pick one of the adjacent chopsticks, then the other (not both at the same time). If the philosopher is able to obtain the pair of chopsticks (they are not already in use), then the philosopher eats for a period of time. After eating, the philosopher puts the chopsticks down and returns to thinking. Write a monitor for the dining philosopher’s problem.arrow_forwardCorrect answer will be upvoted else Multiple Downvoted. Computer science. The j-th companion can be set before the I-th companion on the photograph if his square shape is lower and smaller than the square shape of the I-th companion. Officially, somewhere around one of the accompanying conditions should be satisfied: hj<hi and wj<wi (the two companions are standing or both are lying); wj<hi and hj<wi (one of the companions is standing and the other is lying). For instance, on the off chance that n=3, h=[3,5,3] and w=[4,4,3]: the main companion can be set before the second: w1<h2 and h1<w2 (one of the them is standing and the other one is lying); the third companion can be put before the second: h3<h2 and w3<w2 (the two companions are standing or both are lying). In different cases, the individual in the closer view will cover the individual behind the scenes. Help Polycarp for every I find any j, with the end goal that the j-th…arrow_forward
- 1) Long before H. G. Wells wrote The Invisible Man, Plato (428– 348 BC), in The Republic, described a shepherd named Gyges who, according to a Greek legend, discovers a ring that enables him to become invisible when he turns its bezel. Gyges uses his magical powers to seduce the queen, kill the king, and take over an empire. If we have similar powers, why should we feel bound by moral constraints? In particular, if professionals are sufficiently powerful to pursue their desires without being caught for malfeasance, why should they care about the good of the wider public?arrow_forwardIn "Computing Machines and Intelligence," the English mathematician Alan Turing (1912-1954) wrote, "If each man had a definite set of rules of conduct by which he regulated his life, he would be a machine, but there are no such rules, so men cannot be machines." Using what you now know about Logic, determine whether this statement make sense and explain. Construct a truth table for Turing's statement and determine if this statement is a tautology.arrow_forwardPlease explainarrow_forward
- Let P be “this book is a non-fiction book” and Q be “the ideas in the book is consistent with physical reality.” Consider a case where both P and Q are false (e.g. a fantasy novel and an unrealistic phenomenon in the novel) and see whether it makes sense that P→Q is true. [Give an example, i.e., the name of a book and a particular idea in that book] Explain why it is possible that P→Q is true yet Q is false. [Type your explanation]arrow_forward6. Give the truth value of each of the following wffs in the interpretation where the domain consists of people, M(x, y) is "x is the mother of y", F(x) is "x is female", M(x) is "x is male." a. (Vx)(y)M(y,x) b. (x)(y)(M(y,x) → M(y)) 7. Which of the following sentences are equivalent to the statement Cats are smarter than dogs. a. Some cats are smarter than some dogs. b. There is a cat that is smarter than all dogs. c. All cats are smarter than all dogs. d. Only cats are smarter than dogs. e. All cats are smarter than any dog. 8. Using the predicate symbols shown and appropriate quantifiers, write each English language statement as a predicate wff. (The domain is the whole world.)

- puzzles that can be solved by translatingstatements into logical expressions and reasoning from theseexpressions using truth tables.arrow_forwardWhat is the Truth value of the Expression ∀ (x)P(x) in each of the following interpretation? P(x) is the property that X is yellow, and the domain of interpretation is the collection of all buttercups. P(x) is the property that x is yellow, and the domain of interpretation is the collection of all flowers. P(x) is the property that x is plant, and the domain of interpretation is the collection of all flowers. P(x) is the property that x is either positive or negative , and the domain of interpretationarrow_forwardWith this exercise, we shall develop a solution to the following riddle. Two adults, their three children, and their dog are on a walk when they come upon a river. They have a boat, but it can only hold a maximum of one adult with either one child or the dog; or three chidren; or two children and the dog. Anyone (other than the dog) can row the boat; but it would be too much work for one child to row across by themself. How can they all get across the river? You are required to solve this riddle by modelling it using a labelled transition system (LTS). 1. What are the states of your LTS consist of? Make sure you consider all the aspects of the riddle. Justify your notion of state. 2. What are the actions of your LTS? List all the actions. Justify your choice of actions. 3. Drawing out the entire LTS may be a time consuming task as there could be very many states and transitions. However, drawing out only part of the LTS is doable. Draw part of the LTS, anywhere between 7 and 12…arrow_forward
