Chapter 4, Problem 32RE
In a travel simulation, Harry will visit one of his friends that are located in three states. He has ten friends in California, three in Nevada, and two in Utah. How do you produce a random number between 1 and 3, denoting the destination state, with a probability that is proportional to the number of friends in each state?

You are hired by a game design company and one of their most popular games is
The Journey. The game has a ton of quests, and for a player to win, the player must finish all the quests.
There are a total of N quests in the game. Here is how the game works: the player
can arbitrarily pick one of the N quests to start from. Once the player completes a quest, they unlock some other quests. The player can then choose one of the unlocked quests and complete it, and so on.
For instance, let’s say that this game had only 4 quests: A, B, C, and D. Let’s say that after you complete
• quest A, you unlock quests [B, D].
• quest B, you unlock quests [C, D].
• quest C, you unlock nothing [ ].
• quest D, you unlock quest [C].
Is this game winnable? Yes, because of the following scenario:
The player picks quest A to start with. At the end of the quest A, the unlocked list
contains [B, D]. Say that player chooses to do quest B, then the…

Using Dart.
Create a program that will play the “cows and bulls” game with the user. The game works like this: Randomly generate a 4-digit number. Ask the user to guess a 4-digit number. For every digit the user guessed correctly in the correct place, they have a “cow”. For every digit the user guessed correctly in the wrong place is a “bull.” Every time the user makes a guess, tell them how many “cows” and “bulls” they have. Once the user guesses the correct number, the game is over. Keep track of the number of guesses the user makes throughout the game and tell the user at the end.

- A school has been selling raffle tickets to raise funds for the school library. Each ticket is sold for $5,and the school has sold many such tickets. Each ticket has a code. When a ticket is presented at thelibrary book sale, it can be redeemed for $1, $5, or $10. The dollar amount being assigned to each ticketis determined by a lottery before the book sale. Heidi is wondering whether the school is actually losing money out of the raffle.(a) Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses that can be used to determine whether the school islosing money out of the raffle. Note that the issue is whether the school is losing money, not whetherthe school is breaking even. Please think about what the implication is when formulating the null andalternative hypothesesarrow_forwardIn a Chess match "a + b", each player has a clock which shows a minutes at the start and whenever a player makes a move, b seconds are added to this player's clock. Time on a player's clock decreases during that player's turns and remains unchanged during the other player's turns. If the time on some player's clock hits zero (but not only in this case), this player loses the game. N+1 There's a 3 + 2 blitz chess match. After N turns (i.e. moves made by 2 N white and moves made by black), the game ends and the clocks of the two 2 players stop; they show that the players (white and black) have A and B seconds left respectively. Note that after the N-th turn, b = 2 seconds are still added to the clock of the player that made the last move and then the game ends. Find the total duration of the game, i.e. the number of seconds that have elapsed from the start of the game until the end.arrow_forwardA square is divided into four smaller regions as shown below in (a).

- A robot is initially located at position (0, 0) in a grid [−5, 5] × [−5, 5]. The robot can move randomly in any of the directions: up, down, left, right. The robot can only move one step at a time. For each move, print the direction of the move and the current position of the robot. If the robot makes a circle, which means it moves back to the original place, print “Back to the origin!” to the console and stop the program. If it reaches the boundary of the grid, print “Hit the boundary!” to the console and stop the program. A successful run of your code may look like: Down (0,-1) Down (0,-2) Up (0,-1) Left (-1,-1) Left (-2,-1) Up (-2,0) Left (-3,0) Left (-4,0) Left (-5,0) Hit the boundary! or Left (-1,0) Down (-1,-1) Right (0,-1) Up (0,0) Back to the origin!

Each square can be unpainted or can have a hole, so you cannot go on the square with a hole. The objective is to paint all the squares that do not have a hole. You start in the square (0,0) which is unpainted. The actions you can do are: (1) paint the square you are on if it is not painted; (2) move, either vertically or horizontally, to an adjacent square inside the grid that is not painted and does not have a hole. a. Describe a state-space representation for the problem, specifying the state representation, the initial state, the goal condition, and the actions. b. Is the state space finite? Is it a tree or a graph? c. Propose a heuristic for the problem. Is your heuristics admissible or not?

He says to you, “Do you want to switch to door number 2?”. You can decide to switch doors, or stay with your initial choice. You “win” whatever is behind the door you end up choosing.

When one player has placed three tokens in a horizontal, vertical,or diagonal row on the grid, the game is over and that player has won. A draw (no winner) occurs when all the cells in the grid have been filled with tokens and neither player has achieved a win. Figure 12.17 shows the representative sample runs of the example. Assume that all the cells are initially empty, and that the first player takes the X token and the second player the O token. To mark a cell, the player points the mouse to the cell and clicks it. If the cell is empty, the token (X or O) is displayed. If the cell is already filled, the player’s action is ignored.Define a custom class named Cell that extends Label for displaying a token and for responding to the button-click event.

You have w white dominoes (2×1 tiles, the two cells are hued in white) and b dark dominoes (2×1 tiles, the two cells are shaded in dark).

Similarly, you can put a dark domino if the two cells are dark and not involved by some other domino. Would you be able to put all w+b dominoes on the board if you can put dominoes both on a level plane and in an upward direction? Input The main line contains a solitary integer t (1≤t≤3000) — the number of experiments. The primary line of each experiment contains three integers n, k1 and k2 (1≤n≤1000; 0≤k1,k2≤n).
