Utility of Action-Specific Value Estimation
An agent is navigating a complex environment where the outcomes of its actions are not always predictable. The agent needs to choose the best action to take from its current state. Explain why a function that estimates the total expected future reward for taking a specific action from the current state is more directly useful for decision-making than a function that only estimates the total expected future reward for being in the current state.

Action-Value Function Formula
An agent is learning to play a game where the goal is to maximize its final score. At a specific point in the game (a 'state'), the agent is considering several possible moves ('actions'). A function is used to estimate the total expected future score that can be achieved by taking a specific action from the current state and then playing optimally for the rest of the game. What does the output of this function represent for a given state-action pair?
