Lao Wang sold apples in n days (n < = 5). For example, n is five days. On the first day, he sold half of all the apples plus half an apple; The next day, he sold one third of the remaining apples plus one third of an apple; On the third day, he sold 1/4 of the remaining apples plus 1/4 of an apple; On the fourth day, he sold 1/5 of the remaining apples and 1/5 of an apple, and on the last day, he sold the remaining 11 apples. Input n and output the number of apples at the beginning (you can't cut the apples when you sell them). 1. The intput is an integer which is no more than 5 2. The output is an integer. 3. We will test 5 kinds of data.

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.)
Imagine there are N teams competing in a tournament, and that each team plays each of the other teams once. If a tournament were to take place, it should be demonstrated (using an example) that every team would lose to at least one other team in the tournament.
A group of people, numbered 1 to N, are sitting in a circle. Starting at person 1, a hot potato is passed. After x number of passes, the person holding the hot potato is eliminated, the circle closes ranks, and the game continues with the person who was sitting after the eliminated person picking up the hot potato. The last remaining person wins. For example: number of passes = 1 and number of players = 5, the order of elimination is 2, 4, 1, 5. Write a program for general values of X and N. Ask a user for the number of people and number of passes To speed up the input and debugging, you may wish to store the names of the people in a file. Make sure no two names start the same letter ( Alex and Ana are not OK). Alternatively, you can number the players. Output number and/or the name of a person being eliminated Output number and the name of the winner Do not expect a user to do the right thing, error check the user input; among other things, what do you think a reasonable…
There is an upcoming football tournament, and the n participating teams are labelled from 1 to n. Each pair of teams will play against each other exactly once. Thus, a total of matches will be held, and each team will compete in n − 1 of these matches. There are only two possible outcomes of a match: 1. The match ends in a draw, in which case both teams will get 1 point. 2. One team wins the match, in which case the winning team gets 3 points and the losing team gets 0 points. Design an algorithm which runs in O(n2 ) time and provides a list of results in all matches which: (a) ensures that all n teams finish with the same points total, and (b) includes the fewest drawn matches among all lists satisfying (a). Do not write the code, give steps and methods. Explain the steps of algorithm, and the logic behind these steps in plain English.Please give time complexity. list of results mean Any combination of wins, losses and draws. You may wish to view this as a mapping from the set of…
There are 2016 passengers about to board a plane, numbered 1 through 2016 in that order. Each passenger is assigned to a seat equal to his or her own number. However, the first passenger disregards instructions and instead of sitting in seat number 1, chooses and sits down in a randomly chosen seat. Each subsequent passenger acts according to the following scheme: if their assigned seat is available, they will sit there; otherwise, they will pick at random from the remaining available seats and sit there. What is the probability that the 1512th passenger ends up sitting in their assigned seat? A. 1/2016 B. 1/2 C. 5/8 D. 3/4 E. None of the above

For tax purposes an item may be depreciated over a period of several years, n.With the straight line method of depreciation, each year the item depreciates by 1/nth of itsoriginal value. With the double declining balance method of depreciation, each year the itemdepreciates by 2/nths of its value at the beginning of that year. (In the final year it is depreciatedby its value at the beginning of the year.)Write a program using **Visual Basic** that performs the following tasks:1.1 Request a depreciation of the item, the year of purchase, the cost of the item, the number ofyears to be depreciated (estimated life), and the method of depreciation. The method ofdepreciation should be chosen by clicking on one of two buttons.1.2 Display a year by year description of the depreciation.
There are n students who studied at a late-night study for final exam. The time has come to order pizzas. Each student has his own list of required toppings (e.g. mushroom, pepperoni, onions, garlic, sausage, etc). Everyone wants to eat at least half a pizza, and the topping of that pizza must be in his reqired list. A pizza may have only one topping. How to compute the minimum number of pizzas to order to make everyone happy?

In the game of 10-pin bowling the bowler has two attempts to knock down pins for every frame of 10-pins, and scores a point for each pin knocked down. If all the pins are knocked down with two attempts, the bowler gets a bonus - whatever score they obtain with their next bowl is doubled. If all the pins are knocked down on the 1st attempt, no 2nd attempt is allowed, and the bowler gets a bonus – whatever score they obtain on their next two bowls are doubled. A student attempts to capture this scoring system in VHDL code, a fragment of which is shown in Figure Q4. Q4 (a) Draw the state transition diagram described by the VHDL of Figure Q4. Discuss whether the VHDL of Figure Q4 correctly scores a game of 10-pin bowling.

Suppose you begin with one pair of newborn rabbits. At the end of the third month, and at the end of every month thereafter, they give birth to two pairs of rabbits. Each pair of offspring reproduces according to the same rule. Assume that none of the rabbits dic. Let fn be the number of pairs of rabbits at the end of month n, just after the new pairs have been born. We have f₁ = 1, f2 = 1, and f3 = 3. Which of the following is a recurrence relation for fn? Select one: O A. fn fn_1 + fn_3 O B. fn fn-1 +2fn_2 O C. fn fn-1 +2fn 3 O D. fn = fn-1 + fn_2 + fn_3
Suppose for an international football tournament, you wish to find the probability of the country who can win the final game. You can find the odds for winning from your local bookie [A bookie sets odds, accepts and places bets, and pays out winnings on behalf of other people]. Odds are mathematically treated as a fraction. If the odds for the Morocco vs Argentina game are 5 to 1, the fraction is 1 / 5. So to convert the fraction into probability of winning, take the numerator and divide it by the denominator plus 1. Use the Frac.class in Java to help you convert any given odds into probability. Display your result as a percentage on you console.
