Use the copy-and-paste method to give an average-case analysis for the sort function in sort.cpp.

• Assume that, for an input array of nn elements, on average n−−√n elements will be out of order.
• Assume that the out-of-order elements have values that are uniformly randomly selected between the smallest and largest values of the properly-ordered members of the array. In other words, an out-of-order element is equally likely to belong to any position in the array.
• Show all work!
• Remember that you are doing average case analysis.
  If, at some point, you don’t ask how the average case behavior differs from the worst case behavior, you’re doing it wrong!

Please fill out chart in excel attached and add comments next to the lines in the cpp file

ASSIGNMENT:

1) Exercise 9, steps b and c, on page 298-299 of the lab textbook, “Clearly Visual Basic”, at the end of Chapter 16. You will use the experience you have gained so far in this class to create an application. Create the application as instructed, and make the following changes:

a. Enlarge your form if necessary. In the bottom center area of the form, add a label with the Text property, Designed by, followed by your name.

In this excise, you code an application that calculates a water bill. 

The clerk at the water department will enter the current meter reading and the previous meter reading in two text boxes. 

The application shuold calculate and display the number of gallons of water used and the total charge for the water. 

The charge for water is 2.05 per 1000 gallons, or .00205 per gallon. 

Use two independent Sub procedures: one to make the calculations and the other to display the results. 

Call both Sub procedures from the Calculate button's Click event procedure. 

Make the calculations only when the current meter reading is greater than or equal to the previous meter reading; 

otherwise, display an appropriate message in a message box.

Step B:

Create a visbual basic windows application. Use the following names for the solution and project, respectively: 

Water Bill Solution and Water Bill Project. Save the application in the ClearlyVB2010/Chap16 folder. 

Change the name of the form file on your disk to frmmain.vb. If necessary, change the form's name to frmMain.

Step C: Create the interface shown in Figure 16-24 and then code the application. Be sure to code each text box's KeyPress and TextChanged Event procedures.

Save the solution and then start and test the application. Close the Code Editor window and then close the solution.

Develop a disaster recovery plan for an organization. There are many different templates available online for you to use as reference and guidance. Your plan should cover the following sections (these sections detail the elements in a DR plan in the sequence defined by industry compliance standards ISO 27031 and ISO 24762).This section should summarize key action steps (such as where to assemble employees if forced to evacuate the building) and list key contacts with contact information for ease of authorizing and launching the plan.

•     Introduction
•     Roles and Responsibilities
•     Incident Response
•     Plan Activation
•     Document History
•     Procedures

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately six to eight pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
• Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least ten scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.

The question is attached in the attachment. 

Imagine this scenario: After considering their 3 target markets, Pine Valley Furniture’s board of directors has selected the student furniture project for the WebStore. They are asking you to help them choose a method for determining the requirements. 

Create a 12- to 18-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with speaker notes to the board in which you:

• Compare traditional, contemporary, radical, and agile methodologies for requirements gathering as they would apply to the Pine Valley Furniture project, outlining the advantages and disadvantages for Pine Valley Furniture in your comparison.
• Recommend the methodology (i.e., traditional, contemporary, radical, or agile) you think will work best for Pine Valley Furniture’s student furniture WebStore and describe why you think it will work best for Pine Valley Furniture’s student furniture WebStore.
• Explain “Figure 7-22: Level-0 DFD for the WebStore” of Ch. 7, “Structuring System Process Requirements” from Modern Systems Analysis and Design. Please note that this is more than just explaining what a Level-0 DFD is, you need to explain what happens in at least two of the process flows.

Consider incorporating multimedia and images where appropriate.

Provide any references and citations according to APA guidelines. Please review the Center for Writing Excellence material regarding references, citations, paraphrasing, plagiarism and the Student Code of Academic Integrity. To sum this up, proper references and citations are needed for all of your work and should also be provided on your Microsoft® PowerPoint® slides and speaker notes pages when needed – just having a Reference Slide at the end is not sufficient.

Please make sure your material is specific for the Pine Valley Furniture project and not just generic material. You should always consider that your audience may be more business-oriented than technical oriented so you need to spell out what you mean.

Submit your assignment.

Please note that I do not consider simply parroting back material from another source to be sufficient – you will need to provide your material in your own words and discuss or describe how any external material you provide relates to the scenario. Also, please make sure you properly paraphrase, quote, reference and cite any material you are discussing. 

Regarding Speaker Notes: Some presentations are more just bullet points, and some are more sentence-like. Your speaker notes certainly do not have to be complete essays for each bullet point, but if your presentations are just bullet points, then your speaker notes should be what you would say to explain the point. Speaker notes are not required for every slide or for every bullet point on a slide if the meaning of the material is obvious or if the material on the slide is sufficiently explanatory. The Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation (and speaker notes) should be able to stand on its own to present the material in sufficient depth for the intended audience to understand the overview of your material and the critical details and to remain as a reference. Also note that speaker notes should be incorporated within the presentation using the Microsoft® PowerPoint® Notes pages capability and not as a separate file. Your speaker notes have the same spelling/grammar and reference/citation requirements as a written assignment.

GO19_AC_CH02_GRADER_2G_AS – Concerts and Sponsors 1.0

Project Description:

In this project, you will use a database to answer questions about concerts in the local college area. You will create a relationship between two tables, create a query from an existing query, and create queries using text, numeric, compound, and wildcard criteria based using the fields in one or both tables. You will create calculated fields, group data when calculating statistics, create a crosstab query, and create a parameter query.

Start   Access. Open the file Student_Access_2G_Concerts_Sponsors.accdb downloaded with this project.

Using Sponsor ID as the common   field, create a one-to-many relationship between the Sponsors table and the   Concerts table. Enforce referential integrity and enable both cascade   options. Create a relationship report with normal margins, and save it as a3 Relationships. Close all open objects.

In the last record of the   Sponsors table, change the Sponsor ID from SPONSOR-108 to SPONSOR-100, and then close the table. (The related records in   the Concerts table will automatically update.)

Copy the Concerts $1000 or More   Query to create a new query with the name Jan-Apr Concerts Query. Redesign the query to answer   the question, What is the Date, Concert Name, Concert Location, and Box   Office Receipts for concerts between 1/1/22 and 4/30/22 sorted in ascending order only   by the Date field? Run the query (five records display). Close the query,   saving the changes to the query.

Create a query in Query Design view based on the Concerts table to   answer the question, What is the Date, Concert Name, Concert Location, and   Box Office Receipts for a concert location of Georgetown   Community Theater or Austin City Center and for box   office receipts that have an amount that is greater than 1000 sorted in   ascending order by the Date field? Run the query (four records display). Save   the query as GCT OR ACC Over   $1000 Query, and then close the query.

Create a query in Query Design view based on both tables to answer the   question, What is the Sponsor Name,   Concert Name, and Concert Location for a sponsor name that has radio anywhere in its name and for   a concert name that ends in festival sorted in ascending order by the Concert Location field? Run the query   (two records display). Save the query as Radio   Festivals Query, and then close the query.

Create a query in Query Design view based on the Concerts table to   answer the following question, What is the Concert ID, Concert Name, Concert   Location, Sponsor ID, and Date for records that are missing the date? Run the   query (two records display). Save the query as Missing   Concert Date Query, and then close the query.

Create a query in Query Design view based on both tables to answer the   question, What is the Concert ID, Sponsor Name, Box Office Receipts, and a   new field named Sponsor Donation that will calculate and display the donation amount when the Sponsor   donates an amount equal to 50 percent (0.5) of each box office receipts amount to the Music Department. Sort the   records in ascending order by the Concert ID field. a. Run the query (the   second record—EVENT-102—has a Sponsor Donation of 287.5).

Display the query in Design   view. In the fifth column of the design grid, create a new field named Total   Donation that   will calculate and display the total donation when the box office receipts amount   is added to the sponsor’s donation amount. Run the query (the second   record—EVENT-102—has a Total Donation of $862.50).

Display the query in Design view. Use the Property Sheet to format the   Sponsor Donation field as Currency with 2 decimal places, and then close the   Property Sheet. Run the query, apply Best Fit to the fields, save the query   as Sponsor Donation Query, and then close the query.

Create a query in Query Design view based on the Concerts table to   answer the following question, What are the total Box Office Receipts by   Concert Location sorted by the Box Office Receipts field in ascending order?   Use the Property Sheet to format the Box Office Receipts field with 0 decimal   places, and then close the Property Sheet. Run the query (for the Concert   Location of Georgetown Community Theater, the sum of the box office receipts   is $7,850). Apply Best Fit to the fields, save the query as Receipts by Location Query, and then close the query.

Use the Query Wizard to create a crosstab query based on the Concerts   table with the Sponsor ID field as row headings and the Concert Location   field as column headings. Sum the Box Office Receipts field, and name the   query Sponsor and Location Crosstab Query. Display the query in Design view. Use the Property Sheet to format   the last two columns with 0 decimal places. Run the query, apply Best Fit to   the fields, save the query, and then close the query.

Create a query in Query Design view based on the Concerts table to   answer the following question, What is the Concert Name, Concert Location,   Box Office Receipts, and Sponsor ID. Sort the records in ascending order by   the Concert Name field? Set the criteria so that when you run the query you   are prompted to Enter the   Sponsor ID in the format SPONSOR-###. Run the   query, and when prompted, enter SPONSOR-101 as the criteria (six records display). Display the query in Design   view and hide the Sponsor ID field from the results. Run the query again,   entering SPONSOR-101 when prompted. Save the query as Sponsor   ID Parameter Query, and then close the query.

One of the first systematic attempts to study leadership is the Trait Approach.  Trait behavior is positively correlated to ‘influence.’  According to Rendall (2006), Influence with others are the most basic element of leadership.  The Trait Approach focuses on identifying innate qualities and characteristics possessed by great social, political and military leaders. The Trait Approach also includes traits to either ‘possess’ or ‘cultivate’ if one seeks to be perceived by others as a leader (i.e. Intelligence, Self-Confidence or Determination). 

Former NBA player, Michael Jordan is known as the GOAT (greatest of all times).  According to Michael Jordan, 

One day, you might look up and see me playing the game at 50. Don’t laugh. Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.I can accept failure, but I can’t accept not trying.Click the link below and view Michael Jordan’s commercial, “Maybe,” on YouTube.
