Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 1, Problem 1E
a.
Explanation of Solution
Intelligence
- Intelligence means the capacity to acquire and apply knowledge.
- It is the ability to comprehend and also profit from experience.
- It is also the ability to apply knowledge in order to perform better in an environment.
b.
Explanation of Solution
- Artificial intelligence is the study and construction of agent programs that perform well in a given environment.
- It is also known as machine intelligence and is demonstrated by machines especially computer systems.
- It is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines especially computer systems.
c.
Explanation of Solution
Agent
- An agent is an entity that takes action in response to percepts from an environment.
- It refers to an autonomous entity which acts, directing its activity towards achieving goals.
- It could be anything which makes decisions, as a person, firm, machine or software.
d.
Explanation of Solution
Rationality
- It is the property of a system that does the right thing.
- A rational agent is an agent that has clear preferences, models uncertainty through expected values of variables or functions of variables.
- It is nothing but status of being reasonable and sensible.
e.
Explanation of Solution
Logical reasoning
- It is the process of deriving new sentences from old, such that the new sentences are true if the old ones are true.
- It refers to the ability to understand and logically work through concepts and problems.
- It is the ability to extract and work with the meaning, information and implications from the images or diagrams.
