A materials engineer wants to study the effects of two different processes for sintering copper (aprocess by which copper powder coalesces into a solid but porous copper) on two different typesof copper powders. From each type of copper powder, she randomly selects two samples andthen randomly assigns one of the two sintering processes to each sample by the flip of a coin.The response of interest measured is the porosity of the resulting copper. Explain what type ofstudy this is and why.

- Pick a game that you know and create an initial design of an evaluation function for that game (in English). For example, the Tic-Tac-Toe function in Russell and Norvig (2021) weighs rows, columns, and diagonals with multiple X's or O's by three for unblocked rows. Single marked rows only count as one and the value of the O player is subtracted from the X player's scorearrow_forwardImagine a couple that agreed to meet this evening, but cannot recall if they will be attending the opera or a football match (and the fact that they forgot is common knowledge). The husband would prefer to go to the football game. The wife would rather go to the opera. Both would prefer to go to the same place rather than different ones. • Suppose they choose to go to the same activity, the one prefers such activity will receive utility of 3 and the other will receive utility of 1. • If they miss each other, they will not receive any utility. If they cannot communicate, where should they go? 1. Write down the payoff matrix of this game. 2. What is the stable optimal strategy for the couple'? Hint: Stable strategy can be drawn from the definition of Nash equilibrium. This is not necessarily a zero-sum game, so you may NOT find the optimal strategy by solving LP.arrow_forward1. If a stone is thrown vertically with an initial speed u, its vertical displacements after a time t has elapsed is given by the formula: s(t) = ut – gt/2 (Air resistance has been ignored) Model this equation with a simulink diagram to obtain a plot for the vertical displacement s with time t. Where g=9.8 , u=40. Hints: First, consider the blocks needed to build the model. A Ramp block to input the time signal t, from the Sources library. A Math function block (double click on it and select square) to get t', from the Math library. A Gain block to multiply the input signal by u, from the Math library. A Gain block to multiply the square of the input signal by g/2, from the Math library. A Sum block to subtract the two quantities, also from the Math library. A Scope block to display the output, from the Sinks library. Next, gather the blocks into your model window. Note that the output will not display a cleared output so right click on the display and select autoscale.arrow_forward
- Hi please answer the following follow up questions as well, posted them as another question. Question 4 For the 9-tile soring problem, assume that you start from this initial state 7 2 4 5 6 8 3 1 The Goal State is: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 The cost of moving any tile is 1. Let the heuristic function h(n) = number of misplaced tiles. For the shown configuration, there are four options for the next move: Move 5 to the right Move 6 to the left Move 2 down Move 3 up Each of these moves has a value f(n) = h(n) + g(n). If we choose to Move 5 to the right, then g(n) = 1. That is, it took us one step to reach this state from the initial state. h(n) = number of misplaced tiles. The misplaced tiles are {7,4,8,3,1}. So the number of misplaced tiles = h(n) = 5. If we choose to Move 6 to the left, g(n) is still = 1, but h(n) will change because the number of misplaced tiles is different. A* works by computing f(n) = h(n) + g(n) for each of these possible moves.
