Using examples, evaluate the open source model of software development. In your discussion highlight some of its advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, explain some of the alternatives that also exist.

[a] create a class called “cycle” which has two instance integer variables as properties, “numberofwheels” and “weight.” create a constructor with two parameters, using the same variable names in the parameter list. assign each variable to numberofwheels” and “weight” respectively. write a separate application to test the class and display its properties. note: do not change the names of the instance variables or the variables listed in the constructor’s parameter list. [b] edit your class cycle by adding a default constructor which will assign the default values of 100 to represent the numberofwheels, and 1000 to represent the weight, by invoking a call to the other constructor. modify your application created in [a] to test the class.

An english teacher would like to divide 8 boys and 10 girls into groups, each with the same combination of boys and girls and nobody left out. what is the greatest number of groups that can be formed?

Explain the circumstances for which the interquartile range is the preferred measure of dispersion. what is an advantage that the standard deviation has over the interquartile range? choose the correct answer below. a. the interquartile range is preferred when the distribution is symmetric. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it increases as the dispersion of the data increases. b. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are not skewed or no have outliers. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it uses all the observations in its computation. c. the interquartile range is preferred when the distribution is symmetric. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it is resistant to extreme values. d. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are bell shaped. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it is resistant to extreme values. e. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are skewed or have outliers. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it uses all the observations in its computation. f. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are bell shaped. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it increases as the dispersion of the data increases.
