Answer: UPS.

Explanation: Since there are around 1 Billion Megabytes in 1 Petabyte, 5,368,709,120 / 200 Mbps = 26,843,545 Seconds.

26,843,545 seconds = 310 Days.

UPS should be faster.

I hope I helped you out!

viktelen [127]

Answer:

C. Appliance.

Explanation:

When a device or machine performs a single function or task, it is commonly referred to as an appliance. Examples of such is an iron, a calculator, a computer game, washing machines, refrigerators, e.t.c

<em>A Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)</em>, is a device, mostly mobile and handheld, that combines various computing features such as telephoning and networking. An example is a tablet. A PDA performs more than a single function.

<em>Minicomputer</em> is a computer usually small in physical size, that is midway in capabilities and support, between a microcomputer and a mainframe computer. An example is also a tablet and our smartphones. Minicomputers are also dedicated to various functions rather than a single function.

In summary, the option that best describes the situation in the question is an appliance.

<em>Hope this helps!</em>

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

#include <stdio.h>

void printValues ( unsigned char *ptr, int count) // count is no of cells

{

 for(int i=0; i<count; i++) {

   printf("%d ", ptr[i]);

 }

}

int main ( )

{

 unsigned char data[ ] = { 9, 8, 7, 5, 3, 2, 1} ;

 printValues( data, sizeof(data)/sizeof(data[0]) );

}

Explanation:

Remember that the sizeof() mechanism fails if a pointer to the data is passed to a function. That's why the count variable is needed in the first place.

Suppose an IP packet is fragmented into 10 fragments, each with a 1% (independent) probability of loss. To a reasonable approxim
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

a. 0.01

b. 0.001

c. The identification field of the packet fragment can be used to uniquely identify and collate the fragments lost in transmission.

Explanation:

The probability of losing a packet is 10% or 0.1, so the probability of losing the packet twice during transmission;

= 0.1 x 0.1 = 0.01

When any fragments have been part of the transmission, the probability of the packet is dependent on the fragments;

= 0.01 x 0.1 = 0.001

The identification field is a unique 16-bit value assigned to an IPv4 packet, when a packet is fragmented for transmission, its field is used to collate the unique fragments in the packet.
