.[20 Points][MID] Consider a genetic algorithm using a vector of integer representation with vectors
of length 5. The fitness is to be maximized. Assume that the initial population was as follows:
Individual Genotype Fitness
15,2,5,3,110
24,2,3,3,320
33,4,1,2,510
41,4,3,2,530
(a) What is each individuals probability of being selected as parent if proportional (roulette wheel)
selection is used?
(b) What is each individuals probability of being selected as parent if deterministic binary
tournament selection is used (in which two distinct individuals compete in any tournament and
ties are broken randomly)?
(c) If we select individuals 3 and 4 as parents for N point crossover for some value of N, can the
genotype of a resulting child be 3,4,3,2,5? how about 1,4,1,2,3? Briefly justify your answer
