RAID level 5 works with any number of disk equal or greater than 3 and places a parity sum on one disks in the set to be able to recover from a disk failure. (Striped blocks with distributed parity.) The parity calculations are done in a RAID 5 set using XOR. We assume a small RAID 5 set of four disks and some data is written to it. On the first three disks we have the binary information 1010, 1100 and 0011, here representing some data, and now calculate the parity information for the…

the sailor with the most or least points, depending on the scoring methods, after all events have taken place. Each sailor in this study has a mean performance score, between 10 and 100, denoted as μ from now on. Each sailor also has a different standard deviation, a measure of consistency between 0 and 18, denoted by σ from now on. I will call the scoring methods as followed: Method 1 - Calculating the sum of the sailors finishing positions in an event with the lowest score being best. Method…
