What is credibility in the often-used framework of quality criteria?
a. confidence in the truth value of the findings
b. stability of data over time and conditions
c. objectivity or neutrality of the data
d. analog of external validity and the extent to which findings from the data can be transferred to other settings or groups

Asequential circuit contains a register of four flip-flops. initially a binary number n (0000 ≤ n ≤ 1100) is stored in the flip-flops. after a single clock pulse is applied to the circuit, the register should contain n + 0011. in other words, the function of the sequential circuit is to add 3 to the contents of a 4-bit register. design and implement this circuit using j-k flip-flops.

You need to design a circuit that implements the functions in the following table: s0 s1 function0 0 a + 10 1 a – b1 0 a + b1 1 a – 1s0 and s1 are 1-bit control inputs to select the function of the circuit. inputs a and b are 4-bitnumbers in 2s complement form. the output is also a 4-bit number in 2s complement form.you are allowed to use only one ttl 7483 4-bit adder to implement all the functions. but anynumber of other components (except the adder) can be used.hint: design a combinational logic circuit to modify the input b and the “carry input” of theadder depending on the control inputs s0 and s1.important: lab grade will depend on the working of the circuit & will be checked of by your labinstructor.1. is the output valid for the following input combinations: a. s0 = 0, s1 = 0, a = 7, b = 3? b. s0 = 0, s1 = 1, a = 7, b = 3? c. s0 = 1, s1 = 0, a = -4, b = -5? d. s0 = 1, s1 = 1, a = -8, b = 6? 2. what is the range of inputs (for both a and b) that will produce the valid output for all the functions?

Problem 1 - hashing we would like to use initials to locate an individual. for instance, mel should locate the person mark e. lehr. note: this is all upper case. generate a hash function for the above using the numbers on your telephone. you know, each letter has a number associated with it, so examine your telephone keypad. generate 512 random 3 letter initials and take statistics on a linked list array size 512 to hold this information report how many have no elements, 1 element, 2 elements, does this agree with the hashing statistics distribution?
