Suppose you are asked to design a highway control system where all the sensors share a 1 mbps link to the control center. each sensor transmits with probability 0.1. when it transmits, it can transmit either only numerical measurements at 0.1 mbps, or both numerical measurements and video at 1 mbps.

a. how many sensors can be supported using circuit switching if they transmit only numerical measurements? and what if they transmit both numerical measurements and video?
b. assume that sensors only transmit numerical measurements. how many sensors can be supported using packet switching such that the probability of exceeding the link capacity is no more than 0.005?
c. repeat b) but assume that sensors transmit both numerical measurements and video.
d. compare b-c) with a), at which transmission rate (0.1 mbps or 1 mbps) the sensors benefit more from packet switching

idk that a good answer

there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”
