  1. (8 pts.) PBS (Sept. 6, 2010) cited a report (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) examining both the speed and cost of the Internet. PBS reported the following: "Japan has the fastest average connection speed at 61 megabits per second and the lowest monthly connection price (per mbps) at $0.27. The United States ranked 15th with an average connection of 4.8 mbps and monthly price (per mbps) of $3.33." Below are the updated data for 2012 (adapted slightly for this assignment). The first column is the cost mbps and the second column includes the cost inclusive of the line charges.

For each state below, spell out plausible responses for a TFTP receiver upon receipt of a Data[N] packet. Your answers may depend on N and the packet size. Indicate the events that cause a transition from one state to the next. The TFTP states were proposed in 16.4.2   TFTP States.

(a). UNLATCHED

(b). ESTABLISHED

(c). DALLYING

Example: upon receipt of an ERROR packet, TFTP would in all three states exit.

2. 2D Density of States (~Kasap 4.9)

Kasap Section 4.5 (in 4th Ed.) derives an expression for the density of states for electrons in a 3D infinite potential well (3D Sommerfeld box). This derivation is similar to the one we did in class.

a. Following the approaches used in the 3D derivations, consider an electron confined to a 2D infinite potential well and derive an expression for the 2D density of states, g2D, which is the number of states per unit area per unit energy with energy E between E and E+dE.

(Hint: you might start by solving the 2D Schrödinger Eqn. to determine the allowed k-space values, which you could then plot and use to guide your derivation.)

The University of Arkansas recently approved out of state tuition discounts for high school students from any state. The students must qualify by meeting certain standards in terms of GPA and standardized test scores. The goal of this new policy is to increase the geographic diversity of students from states beyond Arkansas and its border states. Historically, 90% of all new students came from Arkansas or a bordering state. Ginger, a student at the U of A, sampled 180 new students the following year and found that 157 of the new students came from Arkansas or a bordering state. Does Ginger’s study provide enough evidence to indicate that this new policy is effective with a level of significance 10%? What would be the correct decision?

Reject H0; conclude that the new policy does not increase the percentage of students from states that don’t border Arkansas

Fail to reject H0; conclude that the new policy increases the percentage of students from states that don’t border Arkansas

Reject H0; conclude that the new policy increases the percentage of students from states that don’t border Arkansas

Fail to reject H0; conclude that the new policy does not increase the percentage of students from states that don’t border Arkansas
