6.5 Code Practice: Question 1

What best describes a career pathway in a lodging career? a worker starts out as an amusement attendant, then becomes a recreation worker, and then becomes a gaming worker within five years. a worker starts out as a bell hop, then becomes a night clerk, and then becomes a hotel manager within five years. a worker starting out as a tour guide, then becomes a travel clerk, and then becomes a travel agent within five years. a worker starts out as a server, then becomes a food preparer, and then becomes a head chef within five years.

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?

Allison and her group have completed the data entry for their spreadsheet project. they are in the process of formatting the data to make it easier to read and understand. the title is located in cell a5. the group has decided to merge cells a3: a7 to attempt to center the title over the data. after the merge, allison points out that it is not centered and looks bad. where would the title appear if allison unmerged the cells in an attempt to fix the title problem?
