When comparing artificial intelligence versus human intelligence how would cost be compared?

The carnival is in town, and you want to impress your friends by playing the “pop a balloon” game. For $1, you throw one dart. If you pop a balloon, you win a prize depending on the color of the balloon; if you don’t pop a balloon, you can play again!  Provide your numerical answers to 3 decimal places. a.  Using the classical method of probability assignment, define the possible outcomes and provide a numerical probability for each outcome.   [classical] b.  Using the relative frequency or empirical method, what is the probability of popping a YELLOW  balloon?      [RF] c.  Using the subjective method, what is the probability of YOU (yes, specifically YOU) popping the PINK balloon in the bottom row to the left, AND WHY that probability?        [Subj]

A population census of business students at Evashevski University resulted in the following data regarding whether the student came from in-state or out of state, and their selected majors.  Accounting Economics  Sales   In-state  30 46 40  Out of state 22 34 28 (Provide all answers to 2 decimal places) (1) What is the probability of a student majoring in Accounting?  [mgmt] (2) What is the probability of a student being from in-state or an Economics major?  [InMktg] (3) What is the probability of an out of state student and a Sales major?  [OutFin] (4) The Accounting department is trying to increase enrollment from out of state students by providing tuition stipends; given that a student is from out of state, what is the probability the student is majoring in Accounting?    [MgmtGOut] (5) Forty-six (46) high school students have been accepted into the incoming class of business students next year.  Use statistical inference to predict the number of in-state students majoring in Sales next year.  [SI] ​

Assume five (5) events (A, B, C, D, and E) that are not mutually exclusive and are dependent (unless otherwise indicated). You are given the following information on Events A, B, C, D, and E: P(A) = .19           P(A ∪ D) = .40           P(A ∩ C) = .08  P(B) = .25           P(A ∩ D) = .03           P(A | B) = .40 P(C) = .28 P(D) = __ P(E) = __  (Provide all answers to 3 decimal places) (1) Find P(D) = [PD] (2) Based on your answer in part (1), what is the P(E)?  [PE] (3) Find P(A ∩ B) = [ans3] (4) For this question only (part 4), find P(A ∩ B) assuming that A and B are independent events. =  [ans4] (5) Find P(A | C) = [ans5] (6) Find P(CC).  = [ans6] (7) Find P(D | A).  = [ans7] (8) For this question only (part 8), assume that events A and D are mutually exclusive.  Find P(D).= [ans8]

The Registrar of Paulsen Polytechnic University (“PPU”) reports that 39% of the PPU student body transferred into PPU from a community college. The Registrar also reports that if a student transferred in from a community college, there is a 30% chance that student will get on the Deans List. The top 20% of students are named to the Deans List. (Provide probability answers to 4 decimal places.)  (1) If there are 5,000 students at PPU, how many started as freshman at PPU (i.e. did not transfer in)? [ans1] (2) A student comes into the Registrar’s office and says s/he started at Illinois Community College. What is the probability that the student will not be on the Deans List?  [ans2] (3) What is the probability of being on the Deans List and starting at PPU as a freshman (i.e. did not transfer in)? [ans3] (4) What is the probability that a student transferred into PPU given that the student is on the Deans List?  [ans4] (5) What is the probability of not being on the Deans List or not being a former community college student? [ans5]  

A local establishment is hosting a tailgate event for the next game in the Bradley versus Illinois State rivalry.  There are only three (3) beverage choices, and the attendees are from both schools and a group we will classify as “Don’t Care Who Wins.” Below is a partial frequency table:    Beer  Soda  Water  Total    Bradley  43    20      Illinois State      32  26  100    Don’t Care Who  20  53            60  300 (Provide probability answers to 4 decimal places.) (1) How many attendees don’t care about who wins?  [Dontcare] (2) How many beers were sold?  [BeersSold] (3) What is the probability of an Illinois State fan attending? [Ans3] (4) What is the probability of an attendee not drinking beer?  [NoBeer] (5) What is the probability of this (in the photo below): [ans5] .   (6) Assume no one had anything to drink prior to coming to the event.  Sadly, we find an attendee passed out drunk in the back patio. What is the probability this drunk attendee is a Bradley fan?  [BUgivenBeer] (7) We are having another event for the next time Bradley and ISU compete.  If we anticipate attendance of 350 people at this next event, what is the minimum number of sodas we should have on stock? (Round to a whole number)  [SodaStock] (8) Are the events “Don’t Care” given drinking soda independent events?  Answer by providing statistical numbers.  [Indep]

Consider the following tonicity figures of a red blood cell (A-C) and plant cell (D-F) placed into a given solution. Scenario “A” represents a/an Scenario “B” represents a/an Scenario “C” represents a/an Scenario “D” represents a/an Scenario “E” represents a/an Scenario “F” represents a/an  

Consider the Concentration Gradient (A) and Electrochemical Gradient (B) figures below. In The Concentration Gradient (A) scenario, the extracellular solutes (i.e., the solutes in the blue box outside of the cell) would the cell. In the Electrochemical Gradient (B) scenario, the solutes would move the negative charge.  

With diffusion, each molecule moves randomly, but the population of molecules moves from a/an concentration to a/an concentration without any other force.

Which of the following represents a strategy to bring large molecules into the cell via bulk transport (i.e., endocytosis) rather than diffusion?
