Let’s study the Tic-Tac-Toe game starting from this position: X O X O X O If it is X to move, answer the following questions: a) How many children does the root have in the game tree? [first] b) In the game tree, how many paths exists from the root to a terminal position resulting in X’s win? [second] c) In the game tree, how many paths exists from the root to a terminal position resulting in O’s win? [third] d) In the game tree, how many paths exists from the root to a terminal position resulting in a draw? [fourth]

California is a floatplane pilot’s paradise, with lakes ranging from the scorching Salton Sea at 236 feet below sea level to high Sierra lakes above 10,000 feet. But elevation creates a challenge: as altitude increases, the air becomes less dense, and a floatplane needs a longer takeoff run to become airborne. Pilots account for this using density altitude, a measure that combines elevation with air temperature to capture the effective performance environment of the aircraft. The file ca_lakes.csv contains a list of California lakes along with basic data about each one, including the lake’s elevation and average summer air temperature. The density altitude at each lake can be estimated using two formulas. First, the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) temperature at a given elevation is:
