Which of the following statements regarding time-cost tradeoffs in CPM networks is FALSE? Crashing sometimes has the reverse result of lengthening the project duration. Activities not on the critical path can become critical after crashing takes place. A negative crash cost per period would imply that either crashing is cheaper than not crashing or that the crash time was slower than the normal time. Crashing shortens project duration by assigning more resources to critical tasks. Crashing must consider the impact of crashing an activity on all paths in the network.

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?

Simon says is a memory game where "simon" outputs a sequence of 10 characters (r, g, b, y) and the user must repeat the sequence. create a for loop that compares the two strings. for each match, add one point to user_score. upon a mismatch, end the game. sample output with inputs: 'rrgbryybgy' 'rrgbbrybgy'

22. sata3 allows for data transfer rates of 600 mb/s. explain why you would likely not be able to copy data from one hard drive to another at anywhere close to this speed. also, what could be upgraded on the computer to achieve transfer speeds closer to 600 mb/s
