Network flow issues come up in dealing with natural disasters and other crises, since major unexpected events often require the movement and evacuation of large numbers of people in a short amount of time. Consider the following scenario. Due to large-scale flooding in a region, paramedics have identified a set of n injured people distributed across the region who need to be rushed to hospitals. There are k hospitals in the region, and each of the n people needs to be brought to a hospital that is within a half-hour's driving time of their current location (so different people will have different options for hospitals, depending on where they are right now). At the same time, one doesn't want to overload any one of the hospitals by sending too many patients its way. The paramedics are in touch by cell phone, and they want to collectively work out whether they can choose a hospital for each of the injured people in such a way that the load on the hospitals is balanced: Each hospital receives at most [n/k] people. Give a polynomial-time algorithm that takes the given information about the people's locations and determines whether this is possible.

Suppose we have a byte addressable computer that has a 32-byte cache with 8 bytes per block. the memory address is 8 bits long. the system accesses memory addresses (in hex) in this exact order: 6e, b9, 17, e0, 4e, 4f, 50, 91, a8, ab, ad, 93, and 94. (a) assuming the cache is direct mapped, what memory addresses will be in cache block 2 after the last address has been accessed? (b) assuming the cache is direct mapped, what is the hit ratio for the entire memory reference sequence given, assuming the cache is initially empty? (c) assuming the cache is 2-way set associative with a lru replacement policy, what is the hit ratio?

Explain the circumstances for which the interquartile range is the preferred measure of dispersion. what is an advantage that the standard deviation has over the interquartile range? choose the correct answer below. a. the interquartile range is preferred when the distribution is symmetric. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it increases as the dispersion of the data increases. b. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are not skewed or no have outliers. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it uses all the observations in its computation. c. the interquartile range is preferred when the distribution is symmetric. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it is resistant to extreme values. d. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are bell shaped. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it is resistant to extreme values. e. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are skewed or have outliers. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it uses all the observations in its computation. f. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are bell shaped. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it increases as the dispersion of the data increases.

Implement a document scanning function wordcountengine, which receives a string document and returns a list of all unique words in it and their number of occurrences, sorted by the number of occurrences in a descending order. if two or more words have the same count, they should be sorted according to their order in the original sentence. assume that all letters are in english alphabet. you function should be case-insensitive, so for instance, the words “perfect” and “perfect” should be considered the same word.
