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…

Students were asked to create a dog pen with the biggest area. They had to make sure that they would have enough fencing material to cover a perimeter of 40 yards. With these 40 yards, students were asked to figure out the largest area for the dog to play in its pen. First, I know that we have 40 yards of fencing material. Our equation to finding out the perimeter of the the rectangle is 2W+2L=40. I also know that the formula for finding out the area is LW=A.The L variable stands for length and…

According to Treas & Wilkinson (2014) when using the BMI calculation of: BMI=weight in kilograms + (height in meters)2, Mrs. Jenkins BMI would equal 16.8 (p.924). “The normal BMI for adults ranges from 18.5 to 24.9” (Treas & Wilkinson, 2014, p. 924). The 16.8 BMI classifies Mrs. Jenkins as moderately underweight. Being underweight is when the patient “consumes fewer kcal than needed based on his activity, sex, height, and weight. Consuming too few kcal may result in serious undernutrition-that…

2.5. Statistical analysis Multivariate analysis was performed using two algorithms: PCA and 2-D HCA heat map. The PCA, based on the correlation matrix, was performed using XLStat-Pro 2015 software. The 2-D HCA heat map was carried out with the ArrayTrack, and the Ward's minimum-variance method was used for runs and hydrocarbons clustering. A probability level of p=0.05 was considered as significant difference. The data obtained from the RSM on the hydrocarbon removal were subjected to the…
