paying for health care can be
very difficult for families.

many people don't have access to health care.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: paying for health care can be  very difficult for families.

Explanation:

In stating that medical expenses were the leading cause of bankruptcy, the author is showing that paying these expenses takes such a toll on a person's resources that they can lose all they have and file for bankruptcy.

It is very difficult therefore, for some families to pay for health care because if doing so is so expensive that it causes bankruptcies, it only makes sense that these expenses are very taxing on families.

Introduction to Genetic Algorithms — Including Example Code

A genetic algorithm is a search heuristic that is inspired by Charles Darwin’s theory of natural evolution. This algorithm reflects the process of natural selection where the fittest individuals are selected for reproduction in order to produce offspring of the next generation.

Notion of Natural Selection

The process of natural selection starts with the selection of fittest individuals from a population. They produce offspring which inherit the characteristics of the parents and will be added to the next generation. If parents have better fitness, their offspring will be better than parents and have a better chance at surviving. This process keeps on iterating and at the end, a generation with the fittest individuals will be found.

This notion can be applied for a search problem. We consider a set of solutions for a problem and select the set of best ones out of them.

Five phases are considered in a genetic algorithm.

Initial population

Fitness function

Selection

Crossover

Mutation

Initial Population

The process begins with a set of individuals which is called a Population. Each individual is a solution to the problem you want to solve.

An individual is characterized by a set of parameters (variables) known as Genes. Genes are joined into a string to form a Chromosome (solution).

In a genetic algorithm, the set of genes of an individual is represented using a string, in terms of an alphabet. Usually, binary values are used (string of 1s and 0s). We say that we encode the genes in a chromosome.
