Instructions:

Question 1:

A directed graph G consists of • vertices (V ) (also called nodes) • edges (E) (also called links). An edge can have extra data. The number of nodes |V | and the number of edges |E| are denoted by n and m respectively. An undirected graph is like a directed graph except the edges do not have direction. Some more definitions: • An undirected graph is connected if there exists a path between all u, vV . We can extend this to directed graphs. • A cycle is a path from a node to itself. • An undirected graph is called a tree if it is connected and acyclic. We can choose a node to be the root and thus have a rooted tree. We discussed trees in the module. • We call a graph dense if m ∈ (n 2 ) and sparse of m ∈ O(n). A representation of graphs must allow the following operations: • Get(i, j): checks if there is an edge from i to j. It also returns the extra data on this edge. • Add(i, j, w) adds an edge from i to j (or between i and j), together with extra data w. • AllFrom(i) returns a list of the edges with source i. There are three popular way of representing (and storing) graph data: Adjacency matrix, adjacency list and edge list.

Part a: Where the entry at row i and column j specifies whether there is an edge from i to j (with the weight or extra data on that edge). Argue about the time complexity (in Θ notations) of Get, Add, and AllFrom in this representation. (Adjacency Matrix)

Part b: For each i associates a list of nodes j (with extra data) such that there is an edge from i to j. Argue about the time complexity (in Θ notations) of Get, Add, and AllFrom in this representation. (Adjacency List)

Part c: Each edge (i, j) associates a list of nodes j (with extra data) such that there is an edge from i to j. Argue about the time complexity (in Θ notations) of Get, Add, and AllFrom in this representation. (Edge List)

Part d: There are a lot of network data libraries on web. See for example Konect that hosts a large array of networks with different types. Choose two undirected graphs, I suggest one small (n < 1000) if you want to visualize it and one large (arbitrary) and read them using your code. Write a python script that can read the chosen network data then cast the data into a Graph class using NetworkX or igraph, two useful python libraries to build your graph object (and visualize them if you want). Based on your search on network libraries, what is the common way of storing network data? Why? Discuss the trade-offs of using the abovementioned representations in sparse and dense graphs. (Comparison and implementation)

Situation: You have been appointed to serve on a statewide task force on higher education. Your work on the task force requires you to create an orientation course at the college level for incoming first-year students. The purpose of this course is to acquaint students with the skills they need to be successful. Your responsibility focuses on the part of the course that deals with diversity skills.

Directive: Submit an outline of the diversity skills to be taught. Briefly, describe:

- Each skill

- The connection between the skill and student success.

- Ten specific resources that students will use. These may include videos, books, journal articles, and websites. List the skill or skills each resource addresses.

INPUT FILE INTO ARRAY. CHECKING FOR COMMAS AND SUCH. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

void readFile(Candidate candidates[]) – reads the elections.txt file, fills the candidates[] array. Hint: use substr() and find() functions. Set Score to 0.


void List(Candidate candidates[]) – prints the array of Candidate structs. One candidate per one line, include all fields. Use setw() to display nice looking list.


void displayCandidate(Candidate candidates[]) – prints the complete information about the candidate

.
Candidate First(Candidate candidates[]) – returns single struct element: candidate with highest score


Candidate Last(Candidate candidates[]) – returns single struct element: candidate with lowest score


void Votes(Candidate candidates[]) – function sorts the candidates[] array by number of votes, the order in candidates[] array is replaced


void Scores(Candidate candidates[]) – calculates the percentage score for each candidate. Use the following formula: ??????=(CandidateVotes)/(sum of votes)*100%

Correct line for the reference: F=John,L=Smith,V=3342

The line errors that your program needs to detect, are as follows:

incorrect token / separator, example in line 5: F=Steven,L=JohnV=4429 --- (comma missing) – lines with this error need to be ignored

space in token, example in line 3: F=Hillary,X=Clinton, V=1622 --- lines with this error need to be read, error fixed, data included in your dataset

empty line, example in line 6 – empty lines need to be ignored

Example Textfile

F=Michael,L=John,V=3342

F=Danny,L=Red,V=2003

F=Hillary,L=Clinton, V=1588

F=Albert,L=Lee,V=5332

F=Steven,L=JohnV=4429

University professors are always interested in whether students are actually meeting the learning objective in a course. One of the learning objectives for this statistics class is that students will gain skills in statistical literacy. In other words, students should develop the ability to better understand the statistics that they read or hear about in the news. After teaching the course for several years, Dr. Gentzler wonders, “Are students meeting this learning objective? Do students who have taken SSI217 have greater statistical literacy than the entire student body?”. To find out, she develops a “statistical literacy scale” which runs from 0-20 with higher scores indicating greater statistical literacy. She administers a survey to the entire student body and a random sample of 100 former SSI217 students. Here are the results: The student body averaged 17 .3 on the statistical literacy scale. The population variance was never calculated. The SSI217 student sample averaged 19.4 on the statistical literacy scale, with a standard deviation of 5.2 points. Run the appropriate one-sample hypothesis test (with alpha = .05) to answer Dr. Gentzler’s research question.

Your work shown must include i. verifying that the assumptions are met.

ii. listing the null hypothesis and the research hypothesis.

iii. computing the appropriate test statistic.

iv. identifying the degrees of freedom (if necessary) and p-value v. writing a complete interpretation of the test and results.
