The title of the course is ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND EXPERT SYSTEMS I. All answers should be based on that. Please do not copy and paste answers on chegg or on google for me. All answers should be based on your understanding on the course. Please try as much to answer the questions based on what is asked and not setting your own questions and answering them. Let it be if you want to copy and paste answers.

(a) AI concentrates on developing systems which enables the computer to
perform human-like activities through 'reasoning' based on
programmed rules. Explain how this ‘reasoning’ is factored in
developing simple expert system for medical diagnosis that is based
on interview and for suggesting a list of ten common drugs.

(b) The subject area of expert (knowledge based) systems is a branch
of artificial intelligence (AI); which in turn is a branch of computer
science that attempts to understand the nature of intelligence and
produce new classes of intelligent machines. Considering the fields of
engineering or business, demonstrate with five (5) practical diagrams
and explain how they represent new classes of intelligence.

(c) As compared to humans, computers can process more information at a
faster rate. For instance, if the human mind can solve a mathematics
problem in 5 minutes, AI can solve 10 problems in less than a minute.
What could be the reasons, if rather; a computer solves 5 mathematics
problems in a minute whiles human solves 10 problems in 5 minutes.

y(k) = [-2 1]x(k)
(a) Find the transfer function Y(z)/U(z).
(b) Using any similarity transformation, find a different state model for this system.
(c) Find the transfer function of the system from the transformed state equations.
(d) Verify that A given and Aw derived in part (b) satisfy the first three properties of similarity transformations.
The fourth property was verified in part (c).

Boxer Company plans to sell 500,000 units of finished product in July 20x1. Management (1) anticipates a growth rate in sales of 10% per month thereafter and (2) desires a monthly ending finished-goods inventory (in units) of 80% of the following month's estimated sales. There are 400,000 completed units in the June 30, 20x1 inventory.
Each unit of finished product requires four pounds of direct material at a cost of $1.90 per pound. There are 2,000,000 pounds of direct material in inventory on June 30, 20x1.

Required:
Prepare a production budget for the quarter ended September 30, 20x1. Note: For both part "A" and part "B" of this problem, prepare your budget on a quarterly (not monthly) basis. Independent of your answer to part "A," assume that Boxer plans to produce 1,280,000 units of finished product for the quarter ended September 30. If the firm desires to stock direct materials at the end of this period equal to 25% of current production usage, compute the cost of direct material purchases for the quarter.

Problem 2.

Mass of Mars- 6.39 x 10^23 kg

Mass of Earth- 5.972 x 10^24 kg

Mass of Sun- 1.989 x 10^30 kg

Distance between earth and sun- 1.496 x 10^11

Distance between earth and mars- 5.46 x 10^7

a) What is the force of gravity on earth due to mars?

b) What is the force of gravity on mars due to earth?

c) What is the force of gravity on earth due to the sun?

d) Why does earth revolve around the sun instead of mars?

Independent random samples of professional football and basketball players gave the following information. Assume that the weight distributions are mound-shaped and symmetric.

Weights (in lb) of pro football players: x₁; n₁ = 21

Weights (in lb) of pro basketball players: x₂; n₂ = 19

(a) Use a calculator with mean and standard deviation keys to calculate x₁, s₁, x₂, and s₂. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)

(b) Let μ₁ be the population mean for x₁ and let μ₂ be the population mean for x₂. Find a 99% confidence interval for μ₁ − μ₂. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)

(c) Examine the confidence interval and explain what it means in the context of this problem. Does the interval consist of numbers that are all positive? all negative? of different signs? At the 99% level of confidence, do professional football players tend to have a higher population mean weight than professional basketball players?

Because the interval contains only negative numbers, we can say that professional football players have a lower mean weight than professional basketball players.Because the interval contains both positive and negative numbers, we cannot say that professional football players have a higher mean weight than professional basketball players.    Because the interval contains only positive numbers, we can say that professional football players have a higher mean weight than professional basketball players.

(d) Which distribution did you use? Why?

The standard normal distribution was used because σ₁ and σ₂ are known.The standard normal distribution was used because σ₁ and σ₂ are unknown.    The Student's t-distribution was used because σ₁ and σ₂ are unknown.The Student's t-distribution was used because σ₁ and σ₂ are known.

The production department of Zan Corporation has submitted the following forecast of units to be produced by quarter for the upcoming fiscal year:

In addition, 6,000 grams of raw materials inventory is on hand at the start of the 1st Quarter and the beginning accounts payable for the 1st Quarter is $2,880.

Each unit requires 8 grams of raw material that costs $1.20 per gram. Management desires to end each quarter with an inventory of raw materials equal to 25% of the following quarter’s production needs. The desired ending inventory for the 4th Quarter is 8,000 grams. Management plans to pay for 60% of raw material purchases in the quarter acquired and 40% in the following quarter. Each unit requires 0.20 direct labor-hours and direct laborers are paid $11.50 per hour.

Required:

1.&2. Calculate the estimated grams of raw material that need to be purchased and the cost of raw material purchases for each quarter and for the year as a whole.

3. Calculate the expected cash disbursements for purchases of materials for each quarter and for the year as a whole.

4. Calculate the estimated direct labor cost for each quarter and for the year as a whole. Assume that the direct labor workforce is adjusted each quarter to match the number of hours required to produce the estimated number of units produced.
