The value of an action 𝑞 𝜋 ( 𝑠 , 𝑎 ) depends on the expected next reward and the expected value of the next state. We can think of this in terms of a small backup diagram, as follows: Let 𝑃 ( 𝑠 ′ | 𝑠 , 𝑎 ) be the transition probability and 𝑟 ¯ ( 𝑠 , 𝑎 , 𝑠 ′ ) = 𝐸 [ 𝑅 𝑡 + 1 | 𝑆 𝑡 = 𝑠 , 𝐴 𝑡 = 𝑎 , 𝑆 𝑡 + 1 = 𝑠 ′ ] the expected reward for the transion from state 𝑠 to state 𝑠 ′ via action 𝑎 . Rearrange the definition of 𝑞 𝜋 ( 𝑠 , 𝑎 ) in terms of these quantities, such that no expected-value notation appears in the equation. A. 𝑞 𝜋 ( 𝑠 , 𝑎 ) = ∑ 𝑠 ′ 𝑃 ( 𝑠 ′ ∣ 𝑠 , 𝑎 ) [ 𝑟 ¯ ( 𝑠 , 𝑎 , 𝑠 ′ ) + 𝛾 𝑞 𝜋 ( 𝑠 ′ , 𝑎 ) ] B. 𝑞 𝜋 ( 𝑠 , 𝑎 ) = ∑ 𝑠 ′ [ 𝑟 ¯ ( 𝑠 , 𝑎 , 𝑠 ′ ) + 𝛾 ] 𝑃 ( 𝑠 ′ ∣ 𝑠 , 𝑎 ) 𝑣 𝜋 ( 𝑠 ′ ) C. 𝑞 𝜋 ( 𝑠 , 𝑎 ) = ∑ 𝑠 ′ 𝑃 ( 𝑠 ′ | 𝑠 , 𝑎 ) [ 𝑟 ¯ ( 𝑠 , 𝑎 , 𝑠 ′ ) + 𝛾 𝑣 𝜋 ( 𝑠 ′ ) ] D. 𝑞 𝜋 ( 𝑠 , 𝑎 ) = 𝑃 [ 𝑠 ′ ∣ 𝑠 , 𝑎 ] [ 𝑟 ¯ ( 𝑠 , 𝑎 , 𝑠 ′ ) + 𝛾 𝑣 𝜋 ( 𝑠 ′ ) ]
