I have a hand of five cards, n of which are aces. An observation is: I shuffle the cards, pick one at random, and show it to you. You are estimating n by counting the total number of aces (let's denote it k) in m observations, and then computing 5k m You may assume that 1

- An electrician has wired n lights, all initially on, so that: 1) light 1 can always be turned on/off, and 2) for k > 1, light k cannot be turned either on or off unless light k – 1 is on and all preceding lights are off for k > 1. The question we want to explore is the following: how many moves are required to turn all n lights off? For n = 5, a solution sequence has been worked out below. Fill in the missing entries. The lights are counted from left to right, so the first bit is the first light, and so on. 11111 01111 11011 10011 00010 10010 11010arrow_forwardno handwritten Alice and Bob are playing a match to see who is the first to win n games, for some fixed n > 0. Suppose Alice and Bob are equally competent, that is, each of them wins a game with probability 1/2. Further, suppose that they have already played i + j games, of which Alice won i and Bob won j. Give an efficient algorithm to compute the probability that Alice will go on to win the match. For example, if i = n − 1 and j = n − 3, then the probability that Alice will win the match is 7/8, since she must win any of the next three games.arrow_forwardThere are N people numbered from 1 to N around a round table. Everyone has a different number in their hands between 1 and N. We start with the first person and count the number in his hand and ask the related person to leave the table. If the number in the card odd, we count clockwise. if it is even, we count counterclockwise. Ensure that all people leave the table. The first person to leave the table is the first person. In the sample scenario, the first integer value in the table_in.txt file indicates the number of people around the table, it is 5. The value of the card in the first person’s hand is written on the next line, it is 3. The value of the second person’s card is written on the next line, it is 1. In the table_out.txt file, print the order of people leaving the table.

- For which value(s) of x ∈R is the following statement false? Why? If |x −3|= 1, then |x −2|= 2. Please give proper explanation and typed answer only.arrow_forwardWe are given three ropes with lengths n₁, n2, and n3. Our goal is to find the smallest value k such that we can fully cover the three ropes with smaller ropes of lengths 1,2,3,...,k (one rope from each length). For example, as the figure below shows, when n₁ = 5, n₂ 7, and n3 = 9, it is possible to cover all three ropes with smaller ropes of lengths 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, that is, the output should be k = 6. = Devise a dynamic-programming solution that receives the three values of n₁, n2, and n3 and outputs k. It suffices to show Steps 1 and 2 in the DP paradigm in your solution. In Step 1, you must specify the subproblems, and how the value of the optimal solutions for smaller subproblems can be used to describe those of large subproblems. In Step 2, you must write down a recursive formula for the minimum number of operations to reconfigure. Hint: You may assume the value of k is guessed as kg, and solve the decision problem that asks whether ropes of lengths n₁, n2, n3 can be covered by…arrow_forwardanswer b, how many months?arrow_forward
- For n 2 1, let a, be the number of ways to tile a 1 x n strip with 1 x 1 squares and 1 x 2 dominoes. The squares can be blue or red, while all dominoes are white. What is a2? Answer:arrow_forwardConsider the problem of making change for n cents using the fewest number of coins. Assume that we live in a country where coins come in k dierent denominations c1, c2, . . . , ck, such that the coin values are positive integers, k ≥ 1, and c1 = 1, i.e., there are pennies, so there is a solution for every value of n. For example, in case of the US coins, k = 4, c1 = 1, c2 = 5, c3 = 10, c4 = 25, i.e., there are pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. To give optimal change in the US for n cents, it is sufficient to pick as many quarters as possible, then as many dimes as possible, then as many nickels as possible, and nally give the rest in pennies. Design a bottom-up (non-recursive) O(nk)-time algorithm that makes change for any set of k different coin denominations. Write down the pseudocode and analyze its running time. Argue why your choice of the array and the order in which you fill in the values is the correct one.
