For the reaction a b c→d e, the initial reaction rate was measured for various initial concentrations of reactants. the following data were collected: trial [a] (m) [b] (m) [c] (m) initial rate (m/s) 1 0.20 0.20 0.20 6.0×10−5 2 0.20 0.20 0.60 1.8×10−4 3 0.40 0.20 0.20 2.4×10−4 4 0.40 0.40 0.20 2.4×10−4

Choose the best explanation for the following statement communication is symbolic

Consider a slotted aloha system, where the time slot equals the fixed duration of each packet. assume that there are 4 stations a,b,c,d sharing the medium. (a) stations a,b,c,d receive one packet each from higher layers at times 1.3, 1.5, 2.6,5.7 respectively. show which transmissions take place when, according to the slottedaloha protocol; describe all transmissions until all four packets have been successful.when needed, each station has access to the following sequence of random number, provided by a random number generator and drawn uniformly between 0 and 1: (1) station a draws numbers: 0.31, 0.27, 0.78, 0.9, 0.9, 0.11, 0. (2) station b draws numbers: 0.45, 0.28, 0.11, 0.83, 0.37, 0.22, 0. (3)station c draws numbers: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0. (4) station d draws numbers: 0.36, 0.77, 0.9, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0. (b) in slotted aloha, a station transmits in each time slot with a given probability. what probabilities would you assign to each of the four stations so as to: (i) maximize the efficiency of the protocol? (ii) maximize fairness among the four stations? (c) will the efficiency increase or decrease if we modify slotted aloha as follows: (i) get rid of slots and allow stations to transmit immediately? (ii) implement carrier sensing? (iii) implement collision detection? (iv) implement collision avoidance?

Your friend kayla is starting her own business and asks you whether she should set it up as a p2p network or as a client-server network. list three questions you might ask to kayla decide which network to use and how her answers to those questions would affect your recommendation.
