A. In a two-tailed test of H 0 using α=0.05, what is p(obtained) for the results shown? *Hint: "two-tailed" means the same thing as nondirectional. ANSWER = 0.0216

B. What would you conclude regarding H0 using a = 0.05 2-tail? ANSWER = Since the p-value (0.0216) < α=0.05, we reject the null hypothesis H

A process contains eight virtual pages on disk and is assigned a fixed allocation of four-page frames in the main memory. The following page trace occurs: 1, 0, 2, 2, 1, 7, 6, 7, 0, 1, 2, 0, 3, 0, 4, 5, 1, 5, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 6, 7, 2, 4, 2, 7, 3, 3, 2, 3, 4

(a) Show the successive pages residing in the four frames using the LRU replacement policy. Compute the hit ratio in the main memory. Assume that the frames are initially empty.

(b) Repeat part (a) for the FIFO replacement policy.

(c) Compare the two hit ratios and comment on the effectiveness of using FIFO to approximate LRU with respect to this particular trace.

1.Take simultaneously 4 cards out of a standard deck of 52. Recall that in such a deck there are exactly 4 Aces and exactly 4 Kings. Let A = At least 2 of the cards taken are Aces and B = At least 2 of the cards taken are Kings.

Referring to the events A and B from the previous question we have:

A A and B are independent

B The contrary of A implies B

C P(A and B)<.1

D A and B are incompatible

2.

Consider a sample space S, a probability P on S, and 7 independent events denoted A^1, A^2, ..., A^7 included in S. Which of the following is NOT true?

A A^1, A^2, A^6 are independent

B The contrary of A^2 and the contrary of A^5 are independent

C A^3, the contrary of A^4 and the contrary of A^7 are pairwise independent

D At least 2 of the 7 given events are incompatible
