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.

For all positive integers x and n with x < n, the probability is equal to p(n(x))= x/n (1/x + 1/(x+1) + 1/(x+2) + … + 1/(n-1)) If n = 100, use the formula above to determine the integer x that maximizes the probability n = 100 that p100(x).

- Assume that you are asked to write a pseudocode of a genetic algorithm to find an optimal road for a new Amazon delivery truck driver who is also new in town. He departs from Amazon warehouse and has to go through n houses by the end of his day (h1,h2,…,hn). Given that we know the distance between these houses (called dij = distance(hi, hj), and dsi = distance(s,hi) with s being the Amazon warehouse. At the end of the day, the truck will go back to the warehouse s. So a typical road would look like: s -> h2 -> h1 -> h3 ….-> hn-1 -> hn -> S. Please use genetic algorithm with the above framework to write a pseudo code to find a road that minimize the distance that he needs to travel. In your pseudocode, please feel free to suggest the size of the initial population, the fitness function, choose how you do cross-over and mutation.

- The factorial function f(n) = n! is defined by n! = 1 2 3... n whenever n is a positive integer, and O! = 1. Provide big-O estimates for the factorial function and the logarithm of the factorial function. As an illustration, 1! = 1, 2! = 1 2=2, 3! = 1 23 = 6, and 4! = 1 234=24.Take note of how quickly the function n! expands.

There are n skiers who wish to rent skis, where the height of the ith skier is hi. Ideally, each skier should obtain a pair of skis whose height matches her/his own height as closely as possible. We would like to assign skis to skiers so that the sum of the absolute differences of the heights of each skier and her/his skis is minimized. Design a greedy algorithm for the problem. Prove the correctness of your algorithm. (Hint: Start with two skis and two skiers. How would you match them? Continue to three skis and three skiers, and identify a strategy.)arrow_forward
