The method that’s usually used to look up an entry in a phone book is not exactly the same as a binary search because, when using a phone book, you don’t always go to the midpoint of the sublist being searched. Instead, you estimate the position of the target based on the alphabetical position of the first letter of the person’s last name. For example, when you are looking up a number for "Smith," you look toward the middle of the second half of the phone book first, instead of in the middle of the entire book. Suggest a modification of the binary search algorithm that emulates this strategy for a list of names. Is its computational complexity any better than that of the standard binary search?

Researchers measured the data speeds for a particular smartphone carrier at 50 airports. the highest speed measured was 78.1 mbps. the complete list of 50 data speeds has a mean of x overbarequals16.11 mbps and a standard deviation of sequals18.65 mbps. a. what is the difference between carrier's highest data speed and the mean of all 50 data speeds? b. how many standard deviations is that [the difference found in part (a)]? c. convert the carrier's highest data speed to a z score. d. if we consider data speeds that convert to z scores between minus2 and 2 to be neither significantly low nor significantly high, is the carrier's highest data speed significant? a. the difference is nothing mbps.

The open systems interconnection (osi) reference model: defines standards for many aspects of computing and communications within a network. is a generic description for how computers use multiple layers of protocol rules to communicate across a network. defines standards for wireless local area network (wlan) communication protocols. details the advantages and disadvantages of various basic network cabling options.
