Then answer the following question with a 200 word minimum response. You should show that you have a good understanding over the subject of Utilitarianism.

1) How can this short story be considered a critique of Utilitarianism? Is it a fair critique?

Self-directed learners tend to be able to transfer their learning from the knowledge they acquire into different contexts and for different applications. Also, the habits of self-directed learners are consistent with that of leaders and facilitators, thus providing them with practice and preparation for leadership roles. You will learn about the benefits of these methods and how they can help to enhance your learning and motivate you to take ownership of your learning process, which will lead you down a path toward ongoing lifelong learning. The successful UoPeople student does the following:

Takes ownership of the learning process by setting personal educational goals, and monitoring their own progress.

Is self-motivated to learn and understand; not only driven by grades or external praise.

Pushes him/herself to think deeper about issues and draw connections to their personal, academic, and professional lives.

Views the instructor as a guide, but themselves as the pursuer of deeper understanding.

Learns collaboratively, through peer engagement and feedback.

Seeks out the available resources and understands the scope of the University, its departments, and its learning philosophy and approach.

Understands the importance of applying the knowledge learned in the classroom to continued personal and career development potential.

An essential part of being a self-directed and lifelong learner is to have self-motivation and to be an “active learner”. Read about becoming an active learner:

Individuals who are self-motivated have more intrinsic motivation. The chart below (http://mmrg.pbworks.com/f/Ryan,+Deci+00.pdf) shows the differences between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and is known as the “Self-determination Theory”.

1. Describe the essential aspects of a self-directed, intrinsically motivated, active learner? 2. Identify two areas of personal strength and two areas of personal weakness in being a self-motivated and engaged student. 3. Plan at least 5 strategies for personal growth and explain how you will implement each one. 4. How will you evaluate yourself on the success of your personal growth plan and how will you hold yourself accountable? 5. You should provide a word count.

Explain the statistical concept of regression or reversion to the mean and provide an example.

Kalp Corporation has two production departments, Machining and Finishing. The company uses a job-order costing system and computes a predetermined overhead rate in each production department. The Machining Department’s predetermined overhead rate is based on machine-hours and the Finishing Department’s predetermined overhead rate is based on direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the current year, the company had made the following estimates:

Question 1:

Explain what I/O operation service provides. Describe why user application programs cannot provide these services.

Question 2 :

Discuss the advantage and disadvantages of a layered approach.

please research software build and automation tools such as Maven, ANT, and Gradle. Answer the following in your post:

- What are used for and how are they used? - Compare and contrast each of the tools. - What are the benefits and best uses of each tool? Make sure you main post is 200 words.

1. Create the directory tree above in your /home/username folder using at most three (3) mkdir commands

2. Use the ‘cat’ utility to create two text files called “nfile1” & “nfile2” in the “notes” directory. “nfile1” should contain the names of persons (at least 2 persons).

3. Use the vi editor to create a simple text file, then save & quit. Briefly explain the various modes of vi and show how to delete a character, a word and a line

4. Use the ‘tar’ utility to create an archive file of the ‘labs’ directory. Name your archive file labs.tar. Show how you can retrieve the contents from the labs.tar file.

5. Move the file “nfile2” into the “unix” directory.

6. Copy the file “nfile1” into the “java” directory.

7. Show how you would create the files “test1”, “test2”, & “test3” in the “test” directory to ensure that they have the same file creation date/time.

In the following problem, check that it is appropriate to use the normal approximation to the binomial. Then use the normal distribution to estimate the requested probabilities.

Do you take the free samples offered in supermarkets? About 64% of all customers will take free samples. Furthermore, of those who take the free samples, about 41% will buy what they have sampled. Suppose you set up a counter in a supermarket offering free samples of a new product. The day you were offering free samples, 309 customers passed by your counter. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

(a) What is the probability that more than 180 will take your free sample?


(b) What is the probability that fewer than 200 will take your free sample?


(c) What is the probability that a customer will take a free sample and buy the product? Hint: Use the multiplication rule for dependent events. Notice that we are given the conditional probability P(buy|sample) = 0.41, while P(sample) = 0.64.


(d) What is the probability that between 60 and 80 customers will take the free sample and buy the product? Hint: Use the probability of success calculated in part (c).

Consider the following class definition:

                  public class Parent {

              private int varA;

              protected double varB;

              public Parent(int a, double b){

varA = a;

varB = b;

              }

              public int sum( ){

                   return varA + varB;

              }

public String toString( ){

                   return "" + varA + "   " + varB;

              }

        }

Consider that you want to extend Parent to Child. Child will have a third int instance data varC.

1. Write the parameterized constructor definition for Child;
2. Write the code to override the sum() method to now add all three values and return the sum;
3. Write the code to define a method average() to calculate and return the average of varB and varC.
4. Write the code to override the toString() method for Child.

Problem 9-11

Assume that Product Z is made of two units of A and three units of B. A is made of three units of C and four of D. D is made of two units of E

     Lead times for purchase or fabrication of each unit to final assembly are: Z takes two weeks; A, B, C, and D take one week each; and E takes three weeks.

     Sixty eight units of Product Z are required in Period 10. (Assume that there is currently no inventory on hand of any of these items.)

b. Develop an MRP planning schedule showing gross and net requirements and order release and order receipt dates. (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required.)
