Consider the game of up-and-down rooks played on a standard chess- board. player i has a set of white rooks initially located in the bottom row, while player ii has a set of black rooks in the top row. in each turn, a player moves one of its rooks up or down a column, without skipping over the other rook or occupying its position. the first player who cannot move loses. this game is not progressively bounded, yet an optimal strategy exists. find such a strategy by relating this game to a nim position with 8 piles.

In simplified exponential notation, the expression a^2•a^-3•a 1/a 0

Answer asap ! the shortest path from point a to point b goes through a pond. to avoid the pond, you must walk straight 34 meters along one edge of the pond, then take a 90 degree turn, and again walk straight 41 meters along another edge of the pond to reach point b. about how many meters would be saved if it were possible to walk through the pond? a. 11 m b. 20 m c. 30.45 m d. 21.73 m

In a sample of 2023 u. s. adults, 373 said franklin roosevelt was the best president since world war ii. two u. s. adults are selected at random from the population of all u. s. adults without replacement. assuming the sample is representative of all u. s. adults, complete parts (a) through (d). (a) find the probability that both adults say franklin roosevelt was the best president since world war ii. the probability that both adults say franklin roosevelt was the best president since world war ii is (round to three decimal places as needed.) (b) find the probability that neither adult says franklin roosevelt was the best president since world war ii. the probability that neither adult says franklin roosevelt was the best president since world war ii is (round to three decimal places as needed.) (c) find the probability that at least one of the two adults says franklin roosevelt was the best president since world war ii. the probability that at least one of the two adults says franklin roosevelt was the best president since world war ii is (round to three decimal places as needed.) (d) which of the events can be considered unusual? explain. select all that apply. the event in part left parenthesis a right parenthesis is unusual because its probability is less than or equal to 0.05. the event in part (b) is unusual because its probability is less than or equal to 0.05. none of these events are unusual. the event in part (c) is unusual because its probability is less than or equal to 0.05.
