Smart sensor nodes can process data collected from sensors, make
decisions, and recognize relevant events based on the sensed
information before sharing it with other nodes. In wireless sensor
networks, the smart sensor nodes are usually grouped in clusters
for effective cooperation. One sensor node in each cluster must act
as a cluster head. The cluster head depletes its energy resources
faster than the other nodes. Thus, the cluster-head role must be
periodically reassigned (rotated) to different sensor nodes to
achieve a long lifetime of wireless sensor network. Discuss in
detail what are the major attributes required for choosing the
optimal cluster head and explain how the choosing of optimal
cluster head helps in
extending the lifetime of the wireless sensor networks, rotating
the cluster-head role among sensor nodes with suppression of
unnecessary data transmissions. ()

A certain advertising company has commissioned a study to determine if a recent advertising campaign is effective for certain age groups. Researchers have created a data file (results.txt) which contains the results attained by the study. The first column is the subject’s name (you may assume there is no whitespace in any name) and the second column indicates if the subject has seen the advertisement in question (Y or y means yes, N or n means no). The third column specifies the subject's age and the last column (the 'score') specifies how favorably the subject views the product being advertised (from 0 to 100 with a score of 100 being most favorable). A example of the file results.txt is attached. You should download this file to a convenient place on your hard drive. Please note that the file is a sample only. Your program should work on any data file that is formatted in a similar way.

Your assignment is to prompt the user to enter the full pathname to the data file on disk. If the file does not exist in the specified location, your program should exit with a suitable error message.
The first thing your program should do is output to the screen a copy of the data read in from the disk file. This is known as “echoing” the input data. Your program should then calculate and display the the following results:
Average score for subjects under 18 who have not seen the ad.
Average score for subjects under 18 who have seen the ad.
Average score for subjects 18 to 35 (inclusive) who have not seen the ad.
Average score for subjects 18 to 35 (inclusive) who have seen the ad.
Average score for subjects over 35 who have not seen the ad.
Average score for subjects over 35 who have seen the ad.
Display your results to two places of decimals, and write your program to automatically list your six calculated averages one to a line, in the order above, along with a suitable label for each result.
Finally, your program should calculate and display to two places of decimals the overall average score for all of the subjects surveyed. (Note: Mathematically, this is NOT the average of the six averages you calculated previously).
Warning: There may be no subjects in any given category (such as over 35s who have not seen the ad). If so you cannot calculate the average (because you would get a divide by zero error) so instead of the average for that category you should display “No data to report”.

French Bread Chocolates developed the following quarterly sales forecasting model:
Sales = 8.50 + 0.150 TIME - 2.70 Q1 + 1.20 Q2 + 3.5 Q3
where TIME is time period. (time is zero in the fourth quarter of 2009, time is 1 in the first quarter of 2010 and 2 in the second quarter of 2010 etc.) and Q1, Q2, and Q3 are quarterly dummy variables.
Forecast French Broad Chocolate's sales for each quarter of 2022.

Sam's Cat Hotel operates 52 weeks per year, 6 days per week, and uses a continuous review inventory system. It purchases kitty litter for $11.00 per bag. The following information is available about these bags:
Demand=80 bags/week
Order cost=$55.00/order
Annual holding cost=40 percent of cost
Desired cycle-service level=80 percent
Lead time=5 weeks (30 working days)
Standard deviation of weekly demand=15 bags
Current on-hand inventory is 320 bags, with no open orders or backorders.
a. Suppose that the weekly demand forecast of 80 bags is incorrect and actual demand averages only 55 bags per week. How much higher will total costs be, owing to the distorted EOQ caused by this forecast error?
The costs will be $___ higher owing to the error in EOQ. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
b. Suppose that actual demand is 50 bags but that ordering costs are cut to only $13.00 by using the internet to automate order placing. However, the buyer does not tell anyone, and the EOQ is not adjusted to reflect this reduction in S. How much higher will total costs be, compared to what they could if the EOQ were adjusted?
The costs will be $____ higher owing to the error EOQ.
