The gaussian function p(x) = v2 73 is very important in probability and statistics. write a user-defined function (10 points) that takes as input the parameters x, u, and s and returns the value of the function evaluated for these parameters. you may use the numpy function numpy. exp() to calculate the exponential. then, write the programming commands (10 points) which call this function and plot it for x between -3 and 3 with u = 0 and s = 1 (for all values of x). be sure to label your axes and show the plot.

3. (6 pts) internally in the computer, with few exceptions, all numerical computation is done using binary numbers. output, however, often uses ascii, which is formed by appending 011 to the left of a bcd code. thus, an algorithm that directly converts a binary integer to a bcd integer is very useful. here is one such algorithm 1) draw lines to the left of the binary number to bound the expected bcd decades. (each decade is a group of 4 bits.) move the binary number one bit to the left. add 0011 to each bcd decade containing a binary value> 0100 repeat steps 2-3 until the last bit in the binary number has been moved into the least significant decade position. (note that when the last bit has been shifted into bcd decade, step 3 is not repeated.) read the bcd result. 2) 3) 4) 5) a) execute the algorithm for the binary number 1101101 b) execute the algorithm for the binary number 01110101110 4. (4 pts) represent the decimal number 3568 in bcd; excess-3 code; ascil; and hex.

Kirk found a local community college with a two-year program and he is comparing the cost with that of an out-of-state two-year school. what is the expected total cost for one year at the local community college if kirk lives at home? what is the expected total cost for one year at the out-of-state school if kirk lives on campus?

The processing of data in a computer involves the interplay between its various hardware components.
