<span>Random access memory. This problem requires you to know what the different types of memory are and their relative advantages and disadvantages. Let's look at them and see why 3 are wrong and one is correct. read-only memory: Otherwise known as ROM, this type of memory stores code that can't be over written. Used frequently for constant lookup values and boot code. Since it can't be written to by normal programs, it can't hold temporary values for Samantha. So this is the wrong choice. random-access memory: Otherwise known as RAM, this type of memory is used to store temporary values and program code. It is quite fast to access and most the immediately required variables and program code is stored here. It can both be written to and read from. This is the correct answer. hard disk: This is permanent long term readable and writable memory. It will retain its contents even while powered off. But accessing it is slow. Where the contents of RAM can be accessed in nanoseconds, hard disk takes milliseconds to seconds to access (millions to billions of times slower than RAM). Because it's slow, this is not the correct answer. But it's likely that Samantha will save her spreadsheet to hard disk when she's finished working with it so she can retrieve the spreadsheet later to work on again. compact disk: This is sort of the ROM equivalent to the hard disk. The data stored on a compact disk can not be over written. One way of describing the storage on a compact disk is "Write Once, Read many times". In most cases it's even slower than the hard disk. But can be useful for archiving information or making backups of the data on your computer.</span>

If the supply of computer engineers increases at the same time that the demand for these workers decreases, what would be the MO
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Explanation:

When the supply of system engineers rises while demand for such workers falls at the similar period, Wages will drop while competition for employment rises.

According to the law of demand, when the supply of one commodity is increased then the demand for other commodity falls. So, the following option  C is correct according to the following scenario.

Other options are incorrect because they are not relevant according to the following scenario.

Green Fields Landscaping Company sells evergreen trees which are priced by height. Customers have a choice of purchasing a tree
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

//Program is written in Python programming //language.

number_of_trees = int(input ("Enter number of trees purchased: "))

height_of_trees = float(input("Enter height of trees: "))

delivery_status = input("Do you want trees delivered? enter yes or no ")

price_of_two_meters = 20

total_price = number_of_trees * price_of_two_meters

//Invoice

print (number_of_trees)

print(height_of_trees)

print (total_price)

print (delivery_status)

The SQL WHERE clause: Limits the row data that are returned. Limits the column data that are returned. ALL Limits the column and
enyata [817]

Answer: Limits the row data that are returned.

Explanation: In structured query language (SQL), The where clause is used as a filter. The filter is applied to a column and as such the filter value or criteria determines the values that are spared in the column on which the WHERE clause is applied. All rows in which the column value does not meet the WHERE clause criteria are exempted from the output. This will hence limit the number of rows which our command displays.

For instance,

FROM * SELECT table_name WHERE username = 'fichoh' ;

The command above filters the username column for username with fichoh, then displays only rows of Data with fichoh as the username. All data columns are displayed but rows of data which do not match fichoh are exempted.

poizon [28]

Answer:

The Java code is given below with appropriate comments for explanation

Explanation:

// java code to contradict birth day paradox

import java.util.Random;

public class BirthDayParadox

{

public static void main(String[] args)

{

   Random randNum = new Random();

   int people = 5;

   int[] birth_Day = new int[365+1];

   // setting up birthsdays

   for (int i = 0; i < birth_Day.length; i++)

       birth_Day[i] = i + 1;

 

   int iteration;

   // varying number n

   while (people <= 100)

   {

       System.out.println("Number of people: " + people);

       // creating new birth day array

       int[] newbirth_Day = new int[people];

       int count = 0;

       iteration = 100000;

       while(iteration != 0)

       {

           count = 0;

           for (int i = 0; i < newbirth_Day.length; i++)

           {

               // generating random birth day

               int day = randNum.nextInt(365);

               newbirth_Day[i] = birth_Day[day];

           }

           // check for same birthdays

           for (int i = 0; i < newbirth_Day.length; i++)

           {

               int bday = newbirth_Day[i];

               for (int j = i+1; j < newbirth_Day.length; j++)

               {

                   if (bday == newbirth_Day[j])

                   {
