Identify the population and sample (use the correct notation) for: “A nationwide survey of 1000 adults found that 50% of respondents favored a plan to break up the 12 megabanks” Is the percentage provided a descriptive statistic or inferential statistic? In general, what is the difference between a statistic and a parameter? PLEASE USE 4 DECIMAL PLACES FOR ALL ANSWERS, UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED: LIKE FRACTIONS, ETC. DO NOT ENTER ANY ANYSWERS IN THE ANSWER BOX: ENTER ZERO FOR ALL AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT PROBLEM.  PRESENT YOUR SOLUTION FOR EACH PROBLEM ON PAPER AND DO NOT LEAVE BLANK SPACES BETWEEN PROBLEMS. UPLOAD YOUR WORK IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOU COMPLETE THE MIDTERM IN THE DESIGNATED MODULE AT THE TOP OF MODULES. THE UPLOAD MUST BE 1 PDF FILE AND WITHING 9 MINUTES AND 59 SECONDS AFTER YOU SUBMIT THE TEST.  DO NOT GET UPSET THAT YOUR INITIAL GRADE IS ZERO UNTIL I GRADE YOUR TEST! GOOD LUCK!

For each of the following properties, mark whether it is an advantage for a fixed or a variable-length instruction model for an ISA. (4 points) Write F in the cell that you believe is an advantage to a fixed-length ISA. Write V in the cell that you believe is an advantage to a variable-length ISA. [space] Saves space [fixed_pc_inc] PC can be incremented by a fixed value [simple_inst] Simplifies instruction decode [mult_addr] Makes it easy to support multiple memory addresses in a single instruction [hardware] Simplifies hardware implementation [code_read] Reduces the amount of code to be read from memory [size] The size of the instruction is known in advance [opcode_size] The opcode can control the size of the instruction

Given the following declaration of a struct, pack the members of the struct to minimize wasted space and respect alignment. Assume byte addressability and do not reorder members. Assume the ISA is Big Endian. struct x {  char a{3}; // values { 0x30, 0xAC, 0x20 }  short b;   // value 0xBEEF  int c;     // value 0x6121C0DE  char d;    // value 0xCA  short e;   // value 0xMEAL}; Not all the hex values are valid. Please copy the values into the table below (e. g. LE is not a valid hex but write 0xLE in the corresponding cell). Prefix all the hex numbers with 0x and use uppercase for alphabetical digits (e. g. for hex value 0xFF: xFF, FF, and ff will NOT be accepted). There will be point deductions for misformatted fields. Write uppercase N/A in any unused fields. Do not leave any leading or trailing whitespaces in each cell. Starting Address +0 +1 +2 +3 0x1024 [x1024] [x1025] [x1026] [x1027] 0x1028 [x1028] [x1029] [x102A] [x102B] 0x102C [x102C] [x102D] [x102E] [x102F] 0x1030 [x1030] [x1031] [x1032] [x1033]
