The WHO is a controversial United Nations agency that deals with

Capitalism and  Inequality a) What were the policies advocated by the  Washington Consensus (WC) and what did  Bolivian president, Evo Morales do in opposition to it? b)Using the terms such as gini coefficient, economic growth and distribution or income ,  what was the outcome of President Morales’  policies? Does capitalism automatically result in inequality?  Is it more important to have economic growth or to reduce income inequality? Explain c) According to recent data,  Bolivia’s gini coefficient is 40.9%, while the U.S. is at 41.3%.  Which country is relatively more unequal?  Why do you think Americans tolerate such a high degree of income/wealth inequality despite a high U.S. GDP? Which data   would you share with people to influence them to support policies that reduce inequality in the U.S.?  Why would you choose this data set?  Guidance:  define and use terms such as gini coefficient, economic growth, GDP, WC, income inequality.  You will want to answer each part in, at minimum 2 paragraphs

Efficiency vs. Fairness a) A simplistic view of socialism is that everyone gets the same amount (say bread, housing, shoes etc….) of humans’ basic needs.    How is this simplistic view essentially unfair?    b)What is an example of a government policy that puts people on an “equal footing” as others in fulfilment  of basic needs. Is this policy a socialist one?  Explain why or why not? c) Which aspects of our economy should be focused on fairness,  rather than efficiency?  Why do you say that? Guidance:  define and use terms such as efficiency, socialism,  GDP,   GDP per capita, incentive & competition,  equality of opportunity and equality of outcomes in your answer.  You will want to answer each part in, at minimum 2 paragraphs

What can we say about ‘nature’, from an agent perspective?

In computing a running average, the idea that the most recent values should carry more weight relates to ____.

Consider the minimax search scenario where it is agent A’s turn and the current state can be expanded in to states 1 and 2 where it is agent B’s turn. Each of those states can be expanded to 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, and 2.2, where it is again A’s turn. Now consider that each of those states can be expanded twice to the following eight states with corresponding evaluation scores from A’s evaluation function:1.1.1: 101.1.2: 51.2.1: 81.2.2: 92.1.1: 42.1.2: 52.2.1: 22.2.2: 9Which state would the minimax algorithm move agent A in to?

The function h(n) is an admissible heuristic if h(n) is always less than or equal to the actual cost of a lowest-cost path from node n to a goal.

Which of the following search strategies are considered ‘uninformed’?

Consider the following dataset including characteristics of houses and whether or not an agent was able to sell the house:   house color size      sold red large     yes red large     no gray small no gray large     yes gray small yes brown small no brown large     yes   If we were developing a naive bayes model to predict house sales, what is the prior probability for a house being sold in this case?

Consider the following dataset including characteristics of houses and whether or not an agent was able to sell the house:   house color size      sold red large     yes red large     no gray small no gray large     yes gray small yes brown small no brown large     yes   If we were developing a naive bayes model to predict house sales, would it indicate that a small red house would be sold?
