4. Recall the cookie problem from lecture. We have two bowls, Bowl 1 and Bowl 2. Bowl 1 contains 25% chocolate and 75% vanilla cookies; Bowl 2 has 50% of each. For this problem, assume each bowl is large enough that drawing a single cookie does not appreciably alter this ratio. Suppose we draw two cookies from the bowl and they are both chocolate. Calculate the posterior probabilities of the two bowls in two ways: (a) by treating the two cookies as one simultaneous piece of evidence (b) by updating the prior probabilities once using the rst chocolate cookie, and using the posterior probabilities as prior probabilities in a second update.

5. Suppose instead we draw two cookies; one is chocolate and the other is vanilla. Calculate the posterior probabilities. Does it matter which cookie we drew rst? Why or why not?

: Recall the airplane cargo problem we have discussed in our first lecture. An air-freight company has 8 adjacent positions on its Boeing-727 aircraft for freight containers. The weights of this containers depend on what they are carrying. and company statistics indicate that %7 of the containers are classified as ”heavy”. While heavy containers are not inherently dangerous, having two such containers next to each other is considered dangerous should the plane encounter a wind gust. Understandably, company wants to...

lets work on problem 1 from lecture notes 4 as our example. A particle with a mass of 5.00 grams and a charge of 4 microcoulombs has a speed of 0.75 m/s when it passes through a point at which the potential is -1200 volts electron and a proton are released form rest in a uniform electric field that has a magnitude of 500 N/C. The energy and speed of each particle is measured after it has moved through a...

Bowl 1 contains 7 red and 3 white chips. Bowl 2 contains 4 red and 5 white chips. A chip is randomly selected from Bowl 1 and placed in Bowl 2, then two chips are drawn from Bowl 2 without replacement. Find the probability that both chips drawn from Bowl 2 are red.

Consider the “index calculation” problem we have studied in the class (see lecture note), where we have a relation of 8,000,000 tuples. Again, make the following assumptions: the size of disk block (also called disk page): it is usually 4K or 8K bytes, to make our calculation easier, we will use 4000 bytes as a block size the size of the search key value: say we index the relation by using an attribute that is part of the primary key,...

Background: Recall from the lecture notes that an integer x can be represented as a vector [xw−1, xw−2, . . . , x0], where w is the number of bits used to represent x. As a fun exercise, let us consider a problem where we want to partition x into two new numbers, labelled y and z. We can do this by scanning through the bits of x from the least significant bit (lsb) to the most significant bit (msb)....

THIS IS ALL ON PYTHON Recursion Practice Recall from lecture that a recursive function is one that calls on itself. Recursive functions have two parts, the base case which stops the recursion and the recursive step where the function calls upon itself. When designing recursive algorithms, your goal for each step should be to work towards the base case. More abstractly, each recursive call decreases the size of the problem, working ever closer to some trivial case with a defined...
