There are several things you can look for on a website to help you figure out if the information is reliable. The first thing you should evaluate is the audience that the website is intended for. Is it intended for academics? School children? The general public?


The next thing you should look at is the author of the website. Is the author identified? Is the author an expert in their field? Can you establish the author's credibility? Is the author affiliated to an academic institution or credible organisation?


Look at the accuracy of the website. Check for spelling errors, proper grammar, and well-written text. Are there any sources cited? Are those sources credible?


You should also check to see when the information was published. Is the information up to date? Are all of the links up to date and functioning?


There is one last thing you can look at, and this is the domain of the website. Domains like .edu and .gov are more credible than .com or .net domains.

A systems flowchart:
Musya8 [376]

Answer: (D)  Must always have a data store if there are paper documents involved.

Explanation:

 A system flowchart is basically responsible for displaying the data in the system and also control the flow of data. The system flowchart are basically use various graphic symbol for representing the systematic manner for processing the output.

It basically contain data store in the system if there is data documents present in the system so that it make easy to store the data in the system.

There are basically four symbols that is use to represent in the program flowchart is that are: Firstly start, processing, decision making and then end.

Assume a TCP sender is continuously sending 1,090-byte segments. If a TCP receiver advertises a window size of 5,718 bytes, and
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

for the 5 segments, the utilization is 3.8%

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

segment size = 1090 bytes

Receiver window size = 5,718 bytes

Link transmission rate or Bandwidth = 26 Mbps = 26 × 10⁶ bps

propagation delay = 22.1 ms

so,

Round trip time = 2 × propagation delay = 2 × 22.1 ms = 44.2 ms

we determine the total segments;

Total segments = Receiver window size / sender segment or segment size

we substitute

Total segments = 5718 bytes / 1090 bytes

Total segments = 5.24587 ≈ 5

Next is the throughput

Throughput = Segment / Round trip

Throughput = 1090 bytes / 44.2 ms

1byte = 8 bits and 1ms = 10⁻³ s

Throughput = ( 1090 × 8 )bits / ( 44.2 × 10⁻³ )s

Throughput = 8720 bits / ( 44.2 × 10⁻³ s )

Throughput = 197.285 × 10³ bps

Now Utilization will be;

Utilization = Throughput / Bandwidth

we substitute

Utilization = ( 197.285 × 10³ bps ) / ( 26 × 10⁶ bps )

Utilization = 0.0076

Utilization is percentage will be ( 0.0076 × 100)% = 0.76%

∴ Over all utilization for the 5 segments will be;

⇒ 5 × 0.76% = 3.8%

Therefore, for the 5 segments, the utilization is 3.8%
