In the context of a multi-armed bandit problem with stationary reward distributions, consider the
following:
**Assertion:** UCB minimizes the regret better than the softmax approach.
**Reason:** Softmax approach assigns a low probability of picking a sub-optimal arm that has a very
low expected reward.
6406531933059.
Assertion and Reason are both true and Reason is a correct explanation of the
Assertion.
6406531933060.
Assertion and Reason are both true and Reason is not a correct explanation of
the Assertion.
6406531933061.
Assertion is true and Reason is false
6406531933062.
Both Assertion and Reason are false.

Consider the following statements, all of which are regarding policy iteration run on a finite MDP:
(1) Policy iteration can be used to find a deterministic optimal policy.
(2) Policy iteration is an algorithm that is exclusively used to evaluate the value function for a given
policy.
(3) We can use the optimal value function output by policy iteration to find out all possible optimal
policies, both deterministic and stochastic.
How many of these statements are true?
