This set of Artificial Intelligence Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Intelligent Agents and Environment”.
1. What is Artificial intelligence?
a) Putting your intelligence into Computer
b) Programming with your own intelligence
c) Making a Machine intelligent
d) Playing a Game
View Answer
Explanation: Because AI is to make things work automatically through machine without using human effort. Machine will give the result with just giving input from human. That means the system or machine will act as per the requirement.
2. Which is not the commonly used programming language for AI?
a) PROLOG
b) Java
c) LISP
d) Perl
View Answer
Explanation: Because Perl is used as a script language, and not of much use for AI practice. All others are used to generate an artificial program.
3. Artificial Intelligence has its expansion in the following application.
a) Planning and Scheduling
b) Game Playing
c) Diagnosis
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: All sectors require intelligence and automation for its working.
4. What is an ‘agent’?
a) Perceives its environment through sensors and acting upon that environment through actuators
b) Takes input from the surroundings and uses its intelligence and performs the desired operations
c) A embedded program controlling line following robot
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: An agent is anything that can be viewed as perceiving and acting upon the environment through the sensors and actuators. Mean it takes input from its environment through sensors, performs operation and gives output through actuators.
5. Agents behavior can be best described by ____________
a) Perception sequence
b) Agent function
c) Sensors and Actuators
d) Environment in which agent is performing
View Answer
Explanation: An agent’s behavior is described by the agent function that maps any given percept sequence to an action, which can be implemented by agent program. The agent function is an abstract mathematical description; the agent program is a concrete implementation, running on the agent architecture.
6. Rational agent is the one who always does the right thing.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Rational agent is the one who always does the right thing Right in a sense that it makes the agent the most successful.
7. Performance Measures are fixed for all agents.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: As a general rule, it is better to design performance measures according to what one actually wants in the environment, rather than according to how one thinks the agent should behave.
8. What is rational at any given time depends on?
a) The performance measure that defines the criterion of success
b) The agent’s prior knowledge of the environment
c) The actions that the agent can perform
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: For each possible percept sequence, a rational agent should select an action that is expected to maximize its performance measure, given the evidence provided by the percept sequence and whatever built-in knowledge the agent has.
9. An omniscient agent knows the actual outcome of its actions and can act accordingly; but omniscience is impossible in reality. Rational Agent always does the right thing; but Rationality is possible in reality.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Refer the definition of rational and omniscient agents.
10. The Task Environment of an agent consists of ____________
a) Sensors
b) Actuators
c) Performance Measures
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: The task environment of an agent is described by four parts performance measures, sensors, actuators and environment, generally known as the PEAS descriptions.
11. What could possibly be the environment of a Satellite Image Analysis System?
a) Computers in space and earth
b) Image categorization techniques
c) Statistical data on image pixel intensity value and histograms
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: An environment is something which agent stays in.
12. Categorize Crossword puzzle in Fully Observable / Partially Observable.
a) Fully Observable
b) partially Observable
c) All of the mentioned
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: In crossword puzzle an agent knows the complete state of the environment through its sensors.
13. The game of Poker is a single agent.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: The game of poker involves multiple player, hence its works in Multi-agent environment.
14. Satellite Image Analysis System is (Choose the one that is not applicable).
a) Episodic
b) Semi-Static
c) Single agent
d) Partially Observable
View Answer
Explanation: Satellite Image Analysis Systems typically involve the processing of large volumes of data and require multiple agents or components to perform various tasks such as image processing, feature extraction, classification, etc. Therefore, the term “single agent” is not applicable in this context.
15. An agent is composed of ________
a) Architecture
b) Agent Function
c) Perception Sequence
d) Architecture and Program
View Answer
Explanation: An agent is anything that can be viewed as perceiving and acting upon the environment through the sensors and actuators.
