Write a method called makeLine. The method receives an int parameter that is guaranteed not to be negative and a character. The method returns a String whose length equals the parameter and contains no characters other than the character passed. Thus, makeLine(5,':') will return (5 colons). The method must not use a loop of any kind (for, while, do-while) nor use any String methods other than concatenation. Instead, it gets the job done by examining its parameter, and if zero returns an empty string otherwise returns the concatenation of the specified character with the string returned by an appropriately formulated recursive call to itself.

This first part of the film shows the early history of motion pictures. how accurate do you think the portrayal of the early motion picture industry is? why? is historical accuracy important in films and theatre productions? explain. in the scene where don is going to the party (starting at time code 14: 51), we see a street scene as he first rides with cosmo and then with kathy. what aspects did the filmmaker include to make the scene look and feel like don, cosmo, and kathy are riding in a car on a street? think about elements such as scenery, sound, props, lighting, and so on. a "talkie" picture is shown starting around time code 21: 15. how does the audience in the film react to the "talkie"? what influence do audiences have on film and theatre performances? how do film and theatre actors influence audiences? in the musical scene with cosmo (starting at time code 27: 00), how does the actor use props? what is the result? do you think the use of props effectively fulfilled the artistic vision for this musical number? why or why not?

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?

Researchers measured the data speeds for a particular smartphone carrier at 50 airports. the highest speed measured was 78.1 mbps. the complete list of 50 data speeds has a mean of x overbarequals16.11 mbps and a standard deviation of sequals18.65 mbps. a. what is the difference between carrier's highest data speed and the mean of all 50 data speeds? b. how many standard deviations is that [the difference found in part (a)]? c. convert the carrier's highest data speed to a z score. d. if we consider data speeds that convert to z scores between minus2 and 2 to be neither significantly low nor significantly high, is the carrier's highest data speed significant? a. the difference is nothing mbps.
