Vikki [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Currency: Is this a recent article? Many articles shared on social media are older articles that may relate to current events. If the article is not recent, the claims may no longer be relevant or have been proven wrong.

Relevance: Is the article relevant? While some articles may appear to be addressing a current topic, you must read past the headline and determine the relevancy of the content for your purposes.

Authority: Who is the author? Has the author written other articles on the same or similar topic? What are the author's credentials? What is the domain of the website? Many websites these days mimic the legitimate source, take the time to look carefully. Is the source a blog or a news source? Is the website satirical or a hoax?

Accuracy: Is this article from an unbiased source? Can the content be verified by multiple sources? If it appears in only one publication with no links to sources, it is very likely to be inaccurate. This is particularly important with images that are shared widely across social media.

Purpose: Does this article provoke an emotional response? The intent of a valid news sources is to inform. While an emotional response to specific information is to be expected, inaccurate news articles are often written for the sole purpose of provoking anger, outrage, fear, happiness, excitement or confirmation of ones' own beliefs.

Explanation:

This is how you evaluate digital news sources

hjlf

Answer:

see explaination

Explanation:

import numpy as np

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

prob = [1.0/8.0, 1.0/12.0, 1.0/8.0, 1.0/12.0, 1.0/12.0, 1.0/2.0]

smls = 1000000

rolls = list(np.random.choice(a, smls, p=prob))

counts = [rolls.count(i) for i in a]

prob_exper = [float(counts[i])/1000000.0 for i in range(6)]

print("\nProbabilities from experiment : \n\n", prob_exper, end = "\n\n")

plt.hist(rolls)

plt.title("Histogram with counts")

plt.show()

Q4. Write down the JavaScript statements to perform the following tasks.
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Explanation:

In Javascript, you can accept an input value by using the prompt() function and saving the input into a variable. In the following lines of code, I have declared the three variables at the beginning and then prompted the user to enter a value for each and saved the values in the correct variables. In Javascript length is a keyword so I used len instead.

let base, height, len;

base = prompt("Enter Base value: ");

height = prompt("Enter Height value: ");

len = prompt("Enter Length value: ");

Draw a timeline for each of the following scheduling algorithms. (It may be helpful to first compute a start and finish time for
12345 [234]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

Previos concepts

First Come First Serve (FCFS) "is an operating system scheduling algorithm that automatically executes queued requests and processes in order of their arrival".

Shortest job next (SJN), or the shortest job first (SJF) or shortest "is a scheduling policy that selects for execution the waiting process with the smallest execution time".

Shortest remaining time (SRF) "is a scheduling method that is a preemptive version of shortest job next scheduling'".

Round robin (RR) is an algorithm where the time parts "are assigned to each process in equal portions and in circular order, handling all processes without priority"

Solution for the problem

Assuming the dataset given on the plot attached.

Part a

For this algorithm the result would be:

Job A   0-6

Job B   6-(6+3) = 6-9

Job C   9-(9+1) = 9-10

Job D   10-(10+4) = 10-14

Part b

For this algorithm the result would be:

Job A   0-6

Job C   6-(6+1) = 6-7

Job B   7-(7+3) = 7-10

Job D   10-(10+4) = 10-14

Part c

For this algorithm the result would be:

Job A   0-1  until 14

Job B   2-(2+3) = 2-5

Job C   3-(3+2) = 3-5

Job D   9-(9+5) = 9-14

Part d

For this algorithm the result would be:

Job A   0-2 , 7-9, 12-14

Job B   2-4, 9-10

Job C   4-(4+1) = 4-5

Job D   5-7, 10-12
