Answer:

(a)Applications Time Stamp Events

(b)S=0.5(W-T_{skew})+T_{skew}, where T_{skew}≤W≤T_{skew}+8.

Explanation:

Some applications assume that clocks always advance, so they could timestamp events under this assumption.

In our case we have the wrong timed clock, say W and the hardware clock H which is supposed to advance at a perfect rate.

We proceed to construct a software clock such that after 8 seconds we can replace the wrong timed clock with the software clock in good conditions.

Let us denote the software clock with S.

Then, S=c(W-T_{skew})+T_{skew} where:

T_{skew}=The current Time(10:27:54) and;

c is to be found.

We already know that S=T_{skew}+4 when W= T_{skew}+8,

So:

S=c(W-T_{skew})+T_{skew}

T_{skew}+4=c(T_{skew}+8-T_{skew})+T_{skew}

4=8c

c=0.5

We obtain the formula

S=0.5(W-T_{skew})+T_{skew}, where T_{skew}≤W≤T_{skew}+8.

a. Do you think the U.S. government should censor information on the Web, such as instructions for making weapons, to protect th
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

The answer is YES.

Explanation:

<em>Things pertaining to weapons, destructive materials should be shared with precautions or much better if these things should not be put online. Since internet is widely available to almost all types of users and almost to all places, we cannot be sure of who will get hold of these information. Kids could easily see this and gain knowledge and out of curiosity will try these dangerous things. Terrorist groups will also have access to these information and who knows might happen to poor innocent souls around.  </em>

<em> </em>

<em>I don't think it would violate the right of First Amendment regarding freedom of speech. Freedom should be granted on matters that are most sensible. And this time, we are just protecting the rights of children and other innocent people who can be a victim including you. We are talking about weapons and destructive materials here which is non beneficial if one could get hold of this information, in my opinion. If there is really a need to construct these things, it is better to consult an expert or an authority to ensure that nobody gets harm.</em>

Write the function definition for a function called list_total that accepts a list of integers
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

def list_total(numbers):

   sum_of_numbers = 0

   for number in numbers:

       sum_of_numbers += number

   return sum_of_numbers

Explanation:

So, to define a function, the syntax is simply:

def functionName(arguments here):

   # code

So to define a function called "list_total" which accepts a list of integers, you write:

"

def list_total(numbers):
   # code

"

any the "numbers" is a parameter, and it's just like any variable, so you can name it anything besides keywords. I just named it "numbers" since it makes sense in this context, you could also write "integers" instead and it would be just as valid, and may be a bit more specific in this case.

Anyways from here, the initial sum should be equal to 0, and from there we add each number in the list to that initial sum. This can be done by initializing a variable to the value "0" and then traversing the list using a for loop. This can be done as such:

"

def list_total(numbers):

   sum_of_numbers = 0

   for number in numbers:

       # code

"

So for each element or integer in the list "numbers" the for lop will run, and the variable "number" will contain the value of the current element it's on.

So we can add the "number" to the sum_of_numbers as such:

sum_of_numbers = sum_of_numbers + number

but there is a shorter way to do this, and it's represented as:

sum_of_numbers += sum_of_numbers

which will do the same exact thing. In fact this works for any mathematical operation for example:

a *= 3

is the same thing as

a = a * 3

and

a /= 3

is the same thing as

a = a / 3

It's the same thing, but it's a much shorter and more readable notation.

Anyways, this code will go in the for loop to almost finish the code

"

def list_total(numbers):

   sum_of_numbers = 0

   for number in numbers:

       sum_of_numbers += number

"

The last thing is to return this value, and this is simply done by using the syntax:

"return {value here}"

and since the sum_of_numbers has the value, we write

"return sum_of_numbers"

at the end of the function, which is very very important, because when you use the return keyword, you end the function, and return whatever value is next to the return to the function call

So to finish the code we just add this last piece to get:

"

def list_total(numbers):

   sum_of_numbers = 0

   for number in numbers:

       sum_of_numbers += number

   return sum_of_numbers

"
