Assignment

1. There are n marble balls, one of which is made of a different material. You have access to a Comparator that can compare two inputs (of an arbitrary number of marble balls) and determine if the two inputs are the same or not. The problem is to find the single marble ball that is different from the others while minimizing the number of times you access the Comparator. Design an efficient algorithm based on prune-and-search to solve the problem. Derive the time complexity of your algorithm.

2. Exercise 14.3-6 (page 354). Use an example to demonstrate your augmented data structure and operations.

(14.3-6 Show how to maintain a dynamic set Q of numbers that supports the operation MIN-GAP, which gives the magnitude of the difference of the two closest numbers in Q. For example, if Q D f1; 5; 9; 15; 18; 22g, then MIN-GAP.Q/ returns 18 15 D 3, since 15 and 18 are the two closest numbers in Q. Make the operations INSERT, DELETE, SEARCH, and MIN-GAP as efficient as possible, and analyze their running times.). This is the exercise question 14.3-6 as mentioned above.

Business Intellegence

Discussion: What are the common business problems addressed by Big Data analytics?  In the era of Big Data, are we about to witness the end of data warehousing? Why? 

 Questions: 1. What is Big Data? Why is it important? Where does Big Data come from? 

2. What do you think the future of Big Data will be? Will it lose its popularity to something else? If so, what will it be? 

3. What is Big Data analytics? How does it differ from regular analytics? 

4. What are the critical success factors for Big Data analytics? 

5. What are the big challenges that one should be mindful of when considering the implementation of Big Data analytics?

Paper Details

Reference: Pluralsight video “Conflict Resolution in the Workplace” by Stephen Haunts

Research a current domestic or international conflict in the cyber domain.

As a way of checking for your understanding of the nature of conflict as described in the video, write a 1/2-page to 1-page methodology for resolving the conflict using Microsoft® Word that addresses the following:

*Identify the reason for the conflict and the opposing forces

*Accurately identify the key political figures that impact the outcome or resolution of the conflict

*If you were involved with the resolution of the conflict, what style of conflict resolution would you use–the competing shark, the collaborating owl, the avoiding turtle, the accommodating teddy bear, or the compromising fox–and why?

*Do you think in our current political environment we may take the easy way out and try to sweep the conflict under the rug?

*There is one simple widely used method to resolve common conflict that goes by the acronym DESC that stands for Describe, Express, Specify, Consequences. Do you think this method could be used to resolve the conflict you identified? Do you think methods for conflict resolution in the workplace are the same as geological conflicts? Why or why not?

QUANTITATIVE Journal Article Review

 

You will review both quantitative and qualitative research.  The topic is up to you as long as you choose a peer-reviewed, academic research piece.  I suggest choosing a topic that is at least in the same family as your expected dissertation topic so that you can start viewing what is out there.  There are no hard word counts or page requirements as long as you cover the basic guidelines.  You must submit original work, however,  and a paper that returns as a large percentage of copy/paste to other sources will not be accepted.  (Safe Assign will be used to track/monitor your submission for plagiarism. Submissions with a Safe Assign match of more than 25% will not be accepted.) 

Please use APA formatting and include the following information:

  • Introduction/Background:  Provide context for the research article.  What led the author(s) to write the piece? What key concepts were explored? Were there weaknesses in prior research that led the author to the current hypothesis or research question?
  • Methodology:  Describe how the data was gathered and analyzed.  What research questions or hypotheses were the researcher trying to explore? What statistical analysis was used?
  • Study Findings and Results:  What were the major findings from the study? Were there any limitations?
  • Conclusions:  Evaluate the article in terms of significance, research methods, readability and the implications of the results.  Does the piece lead into further study? Are there different methods you would have chosen based on what you read? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the article in terms of statistical analysis and application? (This is where a large part of the rubric is covered.) 
  • References  

Discussion

  

1. How does prescriptive analytics relate to descriptive and predictive analytics?

2. Explain the differences between static and dynamic models. How can one evolve into the other?

The above assignments should be submitted in one-word document. Include an APA cover page and a reference page.

The Meat Lady Dilemma

 Mrs Parker owns and operates a meat shop that processes and packages parcels of minced meat that is being sold to schools in the US. Her scales are all calibrated to perform measurement in pounds, however when the parcels are packaged, they need to be labelled in ounces. Mrs Parker has established that 1 pound is equivalent to 16 ounces. In each production cycle, 250 packs of meat are processed and the weight in pounds varies for each package. Mrs Parker is also interested in knowing the total costs, the total revenue and the total profit of each production run, given that the costs to produce and package an ounce of meat is US $0.25 and that the selling price of an ounce of meat is US $0.55. Because you are a budding Software Engineer, she has sought your assistance in creating a software solution that can be used within the business establishment. 

Required: A. Specifically identify the type of control structure which is needed to process the meat in each production run and provide a reason for your choice (4 marks) 

B. Your solution needs to represent the meat packages which are to be processed, how would you represent this appropriately in your program and what has guided your choice?  (4 marks) 

C. Construct a C# program that will solve Mrs Parker’s dilemma by making use of the choices made above. 

i. Implementation of the control structure to process the meat (2 marks) 

ii. Implementation of the meat packages to be processed (2 marks) 

iii. Calculation of costs, revenues, and profits (6 marks) 

iv. Appropriate program outputs displayed to the user
