Information technology (it) consists of all the hardware that a firm needs to use in order to achieve its business objectives, whereas information systems consist of all the software and business processes needed. true or false?

The following function returns a string of length n whose characters are all 'x'. give the order of growth (as a function of n) of the running time. recall that concatenating two strings in java takes time proportional to the sum of their lengths. public static string f(int n) { if (n == 0) return ""; if (n == 1) return "x"; return f(n/2) + f(n - n/2); } options: a) constant b) logarithmic c) linear d) linearithmic e)quadratic f)cubic g) exponential

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?

Http is the protocol that governs communications between web servers and web clients (i.e. browsers). part of the protocol includes a status code returned by the server to tell the browser the status of its most recent page request. some of the codes and their meanings are listed below: 200, ok (fulfilled)403, forbidden404, not found500, server errorgiven an int variable status, write a switch statement that prints out the appropriate label from the above list based on status.
