A fruit dealer has a warehouse to store oranges and bananas. Initially, they are stored together

in the same container. To save packaging time and cost, the dealer wants to install an
intelligent machine that can classify the fruits into oranges and bananas automatically. The
fruits are loaded on a conveyor that passes through the machine, which is equipped with
sensors to measure shape, texture, and weight of the fruits. For simplicity, let us assume the
sensors output binary values as follows.
1) Shape: 1 if round; -1 if elliptical
2) Texture: 1 if smooth; -1 if rough
3) Weight: 1 if more than 1 lb; -1 otherwise.

Final answer:

An intelligent machine equipped with sensors can classify fruits into oranges and bananas based on their shape, texture, and weight.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fruit dealer can use an intelligent machine equipped with sensors to automatically classify the fruits into oranges and bananas based on their shape, texture, and weight.

The machine can measure the shape of the fruits and assign a binary value of 1 if it is round and -1 if it is elliptical.

It can also measure the texture of the fruits and assign a binary value of 1 if it is smooth and -1 if it is rough.

Lastly, the machine can measure the weight of the fruits, assigning a binary value of 1 if it is more than 1 lb and -1 otherwise. By analyzing the output of these sensors, the machine can accurately classify the fruits into oranges and bananas.
