Answer to Problem 8.1P

Solution:

The file is,

%MATLAB code to create a cell array and perform the operations.

%cell array file.

X = {41,'hiii', 1:4;'matlab', 10, 1:2:9}

%define a cell array.

X{randi(numel(X))}

%define the random element from the cell array.

Z = X'

%get the transpose of the cell array.

Z{randi(numel(Z))}

%define the random element from the above cell array.

%end of cell array file

%The cell array file should be placed in the same folder.

The function file is,

%MATLAB code to create a cell array and get the random element from the cell arary.

%function file.

function A = randomelement(cell)

A = cell{randi(numel(cell))};

end

%end of function file

%The function file should be placed in the same folder

Explanation of Solution

Consider the cell array is,

 A = {41,'hiii', 1:4;'matlab', 10, 1:2:9}

The random element from the above array is,

ans=‘hiii’

MATLAB Code:

clc

clear all

close all

%MATLAB code to create a cell array and perform the operations.

%cell array file.

X = {41,'hiii', 1:4;'matlab', 10, 1:2:9}

%define a cell array.

X{randi(numel(X))}

%define the random element from the cell array.

Z = X'

%get the transpose of the cell array.

Z{randi(numel(Z))}

%define the random element from the above cell array.

%end of cell array file

%The cell array file should be placed in the same folder.

%MATLAB code to create a cell array and get the random element from the cell arary.

%function file.

function A = randomelement(cell)

A = cell{randi(numel(cell))};

end

%end of function file

%The function file should be placed in the same folder

Save the MATLAB cell array file with name, chapter8_54793_8_1P.m and a function file with the name of randomelement.m in the current folder. Execute the function by typing the function name at the command window to generate output.

Pam, Rob and Sam get a cake that is one-third chocolate, one-third vanilla, and one-third strawberry as shown below. They wish to fairly divide the cake using the lone chooser method.  Pam likes strawberry twice as much as chocolate or vanilla.   Rob only likes chocolate.  Sam, the chooser, likes vanilla and strawberry twice as much as chocolate.  In the first division, Pam cuts the strawberry piece off and lets Rob choose his favorite piece.  Based on that, Rob chooses the chocolate and vanilla parts. Note: All cuts made to the cake shown below are vertical.Which is a second division that Rob would make of his share of the cake?
Three players (one divider and two choosers) are going to divide a cake fairly using the lone divider method. The divider cuts the cake into three slices (s1, s2, and s3). If the choosers' declarations are Chooser 1: {s1 , s2} and Chooser 2: {s2 , s3}. Using the lone-divider method, how many different fair divisions of this cake are possible?
