George works as the human resource manager at Maddy’s Confectionaries. It was mandatory for his subordinates to obtain his signature on every document related to the hiring of a new employee. When he realized that this was increasing the duration of the hiring process, he told his subordinates that they no longer needed his signature unless the hire involved extraordinary circumstances. This is an example of: 

The probability of a conditional event is the probability of a certain thing given that something has already occurred.

Solve the problem.The following confidence interval is obtained for a population proportion, p: 0.689 < p < 0.723. Use these confidence interval limits to find the margin of error, E.

Suppose we have a direct mapped byte addressable cache of size 64 byte. The cache access pattern is the following: 0, 3, 4, 5, 8, 0, 4, 8.  What is the miss rate when block size is 2 bytes?

Assume a disk subsystem with the following components and MTTF: • 10 disks, each rated at 1,000,000-hour MTTF• 1 ATA controller, 600,000-hour MTTF• 1 power supply, 100,000-hour MTTF• 1 fan, 400,000-hour MTTF• 1 ATA cable, 2,000,000-hour MTTF Using the simplifying assumptions that the lifetimes are exponentially distributed and that failures are independent, compute the MTTF of the system as a whole.

Which of the following statements are true regarding Integrated Circuit (IC) cost analysis? 

Assume that X has a normal distribution, and find the indicated probability.The mean is μ = 15.2 and the standard deviation is σ = 0.9. Find the probability that X is greater than 15.2.

Whenever Cate does not perform well in a test, she blames it on the lack of preparedness on her part. Cate is said to have: 

You are designing a system for a real-time application in which specific deadlines must be met. Finishing the computation faster gains nothing. You find that your system can execute the necessary code, in the worst case, twice as fast as necessary.      2. How much energy do you save if you set the voltage and frequency to be half as much?
