A typical roulette wheel used in a casino has 38 slots that are numbered 1,2,3,....,36,0,00, respectively. Half of the remaining slots are red and half are black. Also, half of the integers between 1 and 36 inclusive are odd, half are even, and 0 and 00 are defined to be neither odd nor even. A ball is rolled around the wheel and ends up in one of the slots; we assume each slot has equal probability of 1/38, and we are interested in the number of the slot into which the ball falls. (a)Define the Sample space S. (b)Let A = {0,00}. Give the value of P(A). (c) Let B = {14,15,17 18}. Give the value of P(B). (d) Let D = {x:x is odd}. Give the value of P(D).

Tiling: The precondition to the problem is that you are given threeintegers n, i, j, where i and j are in the range 1 to 2n. You have a 2n by 2n squareboard of squares. You have a sufficient number of tiles each with the shape . Your goalis to place nonoverlapping tiles on the board to cover each of the 2n × 2n tiles except forthe single square at location i, j. Give a recursive algorithm for this problem in whichyou place one tile yourself and then have four friends help you. What is your base case?
Dingyu is playing a game defined on an n X n board. Each cell (i, j) of the board (1 2, he may only go to (2, n).) The reward he earns for a move from cell C to cell D is |value of cell C – value of cell D|. The game ends when he reaches (n, n). The total reward - is the sum of the rewards for each move he makes. For example, if n = 1 2 and A = 3 the answer is 4 since he can visit (1, 1) → (1, 2) → (2, 2), and no other solution will get a higher reward. A. Write a recurrence relation to express the maximum possible reward Dingyu can achieve in traveling from cell (1, 1) to cell (n, n). Be sure to include any necessary base cases. B. State the asymptotic (big-O) running time, as a function of n, of a bottom-up dynamic programming algorithm based on your answer from the previous part. Briefly justify your answer. (You do not need to write down the algorithm itself.)
A hungry mouse wants to eat all four fruits in a maze such as the one below, in as few moves as possible.. At each turn the mouse can move any number of squares in one of the directions up, down, left or right, but it is not allowed to enter (or jump over) any walls (i.e., the black squares). Thus, the mouse moves just like a rook in chess. To eat a fruit, the mouse has to stop at that square. Assume that the maze has 4 fruits, and the size of b xh squares. 1. Give a suitable representatión of the states in this searching problem. 2. How many possible actions can the mouse perform at each move? (1.e., what is the branching factor?)
You will be given a square chess board with one queen and a number of obstacles placed on it. Determine how many squares the queen can attack. A queen is standing on an chessboard. The chess board's rows are numbered from to , going from bottom to top. Its columns are numbered from to , going from left to right. Each square is referenced by a tuple, , describing the row, , and column, , where the square is located. The queen is standing at position . In a single move, she can attack any square in any of the eight directions (left, right, up, down, and the four diagonals). In the diagram below, the green circles denote all the cells the queen can attack from : There are obstacles on the chessboard, each preventing the queen from attacking any square beyond it on that path. For example, an obstacle at location in the diagram above prevents the queen from attacking cells , , and : Given the queen's position and the locations of all the obstacles, find and print the number of…
Interest on a credit card’s unpaid balance is calculated using the average daily balance. Suppose that netBalance is the balance shown in the bill, payment is the payment made, d1 is the number of days in the billing cycle, and d2 is the number of days payment is made before billing cycle. Then, the average daily balance is: averageDailyBalance =netBalance x d1-payment x d2d1 If the interest rate per month is, say, 0.0152, then the interest on the unpaid balance is: Interest= averageDailyBalance * 0.0152 Write a program using c++ compiler that accepts as inputnetBalance, payment, d1,d2, and interest rate per month. The program outputs the interest. Format your output to two decimal places.
We have n glasses which can hold a varying amount of liquid. We will say that glass1 is size q1 quarts and glass2 is size q2 quarts, etc. We now give you a size, say x quarts. You must give me a glass of exactly x quarts. You are allowed to fill any glass to exactly its size and to pour any liquid from one glass into another. When you pour, you either have to empty the glass you are pouring from or fill the glass you are pouring into. Can you do it?More concrete example: G1 has size 10 quarts. G2 has size 4 quarts. G3 has size 1 quart. You can get a 5 quart drink by filling G1, pouring 4 quarts from it into G2 and 1 quart of it into G1. After that, G1 has exactly 5 quarts. In the same problem, we could get 8 quarts by filling G2 twice and emptying it into G1 twice. Given This: Write an algorithm to do this and determine its complexity.
In a card game, your opponent places n monster cards onto the board, the i th of which has hi health points. You in turn have m ≥ n hero cards in your hand, the j th of which deals dj damage per turn. To begin the game, you will choose n heroes from your hand and assign each of them to a different enemy monster. Each turn, your heroes will deal damage equal to their damage power to the opposing enemy. If at any point an opponent’s monster reaches 0 health or less, then it is destroyed. You are given a limited number of turns k to destroy all enemy monsters. Design an algorithm which runs in O(m + n log n) time and determines whether it is possible to assign your heroes in such a way as to destroy all enemy monsters in k turns or fewer First develop a Θ(m log m) time algorithm, then improve it to Θ(m + n log n) Do not write the code, give steps and methods. Explain the steps of algorithm, and the logic behind these steps in plain English input is The number of monsters n, the health…

One variation on the game of nim is described in Luger. The game begins with a single pile of stones. The move by a player consists of dividing a pile into two piles that contain an unequal number of stones. For example, if one pile contains six stones, it could be subdivided into piles of five and one, or four and two, but not three and three. The first player who cannot make a move loses the game. (5.1) Draw the complete game tree for this version of Nim if the start state consists of six stones. (5.2) Perform a minimax evaluation for this game. Let 1 denote a win and 0 a loss.
The game of Pig is a simple two-player dice game in which the first player to reach 100 or more points wins. Players take turns. On each turn, a player rolls a single six-sided die: • If the player rolls a 1, then the player gets no new points and it becomes the other player's turn. • If the player rolls 2 through 6, then he or she can either o ROLL AGAIN or o HOLD: At this point, the sum of all rolls for that turn is added to the player's overall total score and it becomes the other player's turn. Write a Java program that plays the game of Pig, where one player is a human and the other is the computer. When it is the human's turn, the program should show the score of both players and the previous roll. Allow the human to input whether to roll again or hold. The computer program should play according to the following rules: Keep rolling when it is the computer's turn until it has accumulated 20 or more points, then hold. • If the computer wins or rolls a 1, then the turn ends…
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.

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%)
Bowling involves 10 frames. Each frame starts with 10 pins. The bowler has two throws to knock all 10 pins down. The total score is the sum of pins knocked down, with some special rules. For the first 9 frames: If all 10 pins are knocked down on a frame's first throw (a "strike"), that frame's score is the previous frame plus 10 plus the next two throws. (No second throw is taken). If all 10 pins are knocked down after a frame's second throw (a "spare"), that frame's score is the previous frame plus 10 plus the next throw. In the 10th frame, if the bowler's first throw is a strike, or the first two throws yields a spare, the bowler gets a third throw. The 10th frame's score is the previous frame's score plus the pins knocked down in the 10th frame's two or three throws. Given integers represents all throws for a game, output on one line each frame's score followed by a space (and end with a newline). Note that the number of throws may be as few as 11 (strikes in first 9 frames,…
