Question 1: Short answer

mediumAI-checkedGenetic Algorithms

Four individuals have fitness values 9, 6, 3 and 2 (total 20). Stochastic universal sampling fills a mating pool of 4 with a single spin: it places 4 pointers 20/4=520/4 = 5 apart on the fitness wheel, starting at a point drawn uniformly from [0,5)[0, 5), and each pointer selects the individual whose share of the wheel it falls in. What is the probability that the fittest individual (fitness 9) gets exactly 2 places in the pool?

a probability, 2 decimals
