What does this function return if it is called as min_value(1131, 1311)?  If the program results in an error, put down ‘ERROR’. def min_value(x, y):     return x if x < y else y

What will be the output of the following code snippet? If the program results in an error, put down ‘ERROR’.  x = 0for i in range(5):    while i > 0:        x += i        i -= 2print(x)

A mirror on a large industrial truck has a weight, X, with the following pdf:  f(x) = 0.125x  for 3 kg

The Collatz Conjecture (also known as the 3n + 1 conjecture) is a sequence defined as follows: Start with any positive integer nn. If n is even, divide it by 2. If nn is odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1. Repeat the process indefinitely, and the conjecture states that you will eventually reach the number 1. Write a function called collatz_sequence(n) that takes a positive integer n as input and returns the Collatz sequence starting from nn until it reaches 1. The function should print the sequence as numbers separated by spaces. Example:n = 3:       3 10 5 16 8 4 2 1 ———————– 1.Print out 3 2. 3 is odd, so 3(3) + 1 = 10, print 10 3. 10 is even -> 10 / 2 = 5, print 5 4. 5 is odd -> 5(3) +1 = 16, print 16 5. 16 is even -> 16 / 2  = 8, print 8 … 8. 2 is even -> 2 / 1 = 1, print 1

Gallaghan Mattress in Batavia, NY makes box springs. Each spring either passes or fails inspection.  These box springs are independent and each has a probability of failing inspection equal to 0.078.  This copywritten question is part of a quiz or exam at Arizona State.  It may not be posted to Chegg.com or to any other website or reproduced without the permission of the author, Dr. L. Chattin, and Arizona State University.  Forty-five of these box springs are tested.  What is the probability that more than three of the springs fail inspection? Express your answer to two decimal places using conventional rounding methods.
