Which of the following statements is true of nonroutine messages? a. they typically concern novel events. b. they are best communicated through channels with low richness. c. they are simple and straightforward. d. they put into words what managers already agree on and understand.

Write a modular program (no classes yet, just from what you learned last year), that allows two players to play a game of tic-tac-toe. use a two-dimensional char array with 3 rows and 3 columns as the game board. each element of the array should be initialized with an asterisk (*). the program should display the initial board configuration and then start a loop that does the following: allow player 1 to select a location on the board for an x by entering a row and column number. then redisplay the board with an x replacing the * in the chosen location. if there is no winner yet and the board is not yet full, allow player 2 to select a location on the board for an o by entering a row and column number. then redisplay the board with an o replacing the * in the chosen location. the loop should continue until a player has won or a tie has occurred, then display a message indicating who won, or reporting that a tie occurred. player 1 wins when there are three xs in a row, a column, or a diagonal on the game board. player 2 wins when there are three ox in a row, a column, or a diagonal on the game board. a tie occurs when all of the locations on the board are full, but there is no winner. input validation: only allow legal moves to be entered. the row must be 1, 2, or 3. the column must be 1, 2 3. the (row, column) position entered must currently be empty (i. e., still have an asterisk in it).

Researchers measured the data speeds for a particular smartphone carrier at 50 airports. the highest speed measured was 78.1 mbps. the complete list of 50 data speeds has a mean of x overbarequals16.11 mbps and a standard deviation of sequals18.65 mbps. a. what is the difference between carrier's highest data speed and the mean of all 50 data speeds? b. how many standard deviations is that [the difference found in part (a)]? c. convert the carrier's highest data speed to a z score. d. if we consider data speeds that convert to z scores between minus2 and 2 to be neither significantly low nor significantly high, is the carrier's highest data speed significant? a. the difference is nothing mbps.

Scientists have changed the model of the atom as they have gathered new evidence. one of the atomic models is shown below. what experimental evidence led to the development of this atomic model from the one before it? a few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back. the colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies. experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions. cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.
