Answer:

The answer here is False.

Explanation:

Encryption protects the data and not access to data.

In some cases, the hacker may not necessarily be trying to access or decrypt the data. They may prevent one from accessing it by placing a Ransomeware virus on it.

What a Ransomeware virus would do is to prevent the legal and rightful owner from accessing such data (whether encrypted or not) until their demands are met.

In many cases, they would ask for monies or cryptocurrencies.

Another way hackers attempt to get encrypted files is to try to get the decryption keys instead. The best practice against this is to keep decryption keys manually or in a password manager. Another way to protect very sensitive information is to have sensitive systems isolated from the internet.

Cheers

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

I am writing partial code in c++ to calculate weighted average. The weighted average should be calculated based on multiplying the test score and its respective weight and finally add all the test score.

Explanation:

int arrtestscore[100];

int arrweight[100];

int n;

double weightedavg;

cout<<”Enter the number of test score for which weighted average needs to be calculated”;

cin>>n;

for(int x = 0; x <n;x++)

{

 cout<<”Enter test score :” + (x+1) ;

 cin>>arrtestscore[x];

 count<<”Enter the respective weight:”;

 cin>>arrweight[x];

}

for (int i=0; i<n;i++)

{

 weightedavg = weightedavg + (arrtestscore[i] * arrweight[i])

}

cout<<”weighted average = “ <<weightedavg;
