Which of the following is not true about how ip sends packets over the internet? a. packets from the same sender to the same receiver could take several different routes to get from sender to receiver. d. packets may not arrive at the receiver in order. b. ip ensures that all packets arrive to the receiver. e. both b & c. c. ip will always send the smaller packets faster then the larger packets.

1. package newton’s method for approximating square roots (case study 3.6) in a function named newton. this function expects the input number as an argument and returns the estimate of its square root. the script should also include a main function that allows the user to compute square roots of inputs until she presses the enter/return key. 2. convert newton’s method for approximating square roots in project 1 to a recursive function named newton. (hint: the estimate of the square root should be passed as a second argument to the function.) 3. elena complains that the recursive newton function in project 2 includes an extra argument for the estimate. the function’s users should not have to provide this value, which is always the same, when they call this function. modify the definition of the function so that it uses a keyword parameter with the appropriate default value for this argument, and call the function without a second argument to demonstrate that it solves this problem. 4. restructure newton’s method (case study 3.6) by decomposing it into three cooperating functions. the newton function can use either the recursive strategy of project 1 or the iterative strategy of case study 3.6. the task of testing for the limit is assigned to a function named limitreached, whereas the task of computing a new approximation is assigned to a function named improveestimate. each function expects the relevant arguments and returns an appropriate value. 5. a list is sorted in ascending order if it is empty or each item except the last one is less than or equal to its successor. define a predicate issorted that expects a list as an argument and returns true if the list is sorted, or returns false otherwise. (hint: for a list of length 2 or greater, loop through the list and compare pairs of items, from left to right, and return false if the first item in a pair is greater.)

Why is investing in a mutual fund less risky than investing in a particular company's stock? a. mutual funds only invest in blue-chip stocks. b. investments in mutual funds are more liquid. c. mutual funds hold a diversified portfolio of stocks. d. investments in mutual funds offer a higher rate of return.

Asample of 200 rom computer chips was selected on each of 30 consecutive days, and the number of nonconforming chips on each day was as follows: 8, 19, 27, 17, 38, 18, 4, 27, 9, 22, 30, 17, 14, 23, 15, 14, 12, 20, 13, 18, 14, 20, 9, 27, 30, 13, 10, 19, 12, 26. construct a p chart and examine it for any out-of-control points. (round your answers to four decimal places.)
