We are sending a 30 Mbit MP3 file from a source host to a destination host. All links in the path between source and destination have a transmission rate of 10 Mbps. Assume that the propagation speed is 2 * 108 meters/sec, and the distance between source and destination is 10,000 km. Suppose there is only one link between source and destination. Also suppose that the entire MP3 file is sent as one packet. How many bits will the source have transmitted when the first bit arrives at the destination.

Keep your choice of a major there is probably no single correct choice.

Some of your friends have gotten into the burgeoning field of time-series data mining, in which one looks for patterns in sequences of events that occur over time. purchases at stock exchanges--what’s being bought-- are one source of data with a natural ordering in time. given a long sequence s of such events, your friends want an efficient way to detect certain "patterns" in them--for example, they may want to know if the four events buy yahoo, buy ebay, buy yahoo, buy oracle occur in this sequence s, in order but not necessarily consecutively. they begin with a collection of possible events (e. g., the possible’ transactions) and a sequence s of n of these events. a given event may occur multiple times in s (e. g., yahoo stock may be bought many times in a single sequence s). we will say that a sequence s’ is a subsequence of s if there is a way to delete certain of the events from s so that the remaining events, in order, are equal to the sequence s’. so, for example, the sequence of four events above is a subsequence of the sequence buy amazon, buy yahoo, buy ebay, buy yahoo, buy yahoo, buy oracle their goal is to be able to dream up short sequences and quickly detect whether they are subsequences of s. so this is the problem they pose to you: give an algorithm that takes two sequences of even~s--s’ of length m and s of length n, each possibly containing an event more than once--and decides in time o(m n) whether s’ is a subsequence of s

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?
