Instructions

This program gets values from the user, and then runs a calculation.  The values are passed by reference (by address), so the main() function  sees the changed values of the variables. The first function  (getValues()) gets user input. The second function (calcCubic), performs  the calculations, and the third function (printCubic()) prints the  value of the calculation.

Here is the code:

And here is the output:

Submission Instructions

Now, you enter the code, and run it. (No flowchart this time)

Upload your .c file and a screenshot of your code output saved in a Word document 

You are an administrator of a Windows Network Infrastructure that has 200 servers running Windows Server 2016 and you need to deploy another 100 servers over the next few months. You want to ensure that each server has the following configuration performed:

• Certain server roles and features need to be installed.
• A set of default users and groups needs to be created on each server.
• Diagnostic and malware software needs to be deployed.

Describe how to ensure that your current servers and any servers that you install will have this base configuration. Also, describe how to ensure that when these settings are changed, the system is automatically reconfigured.

Discussion Question 2:

Pick a PowerShell command and elaborate on how it can be used in a Server 2016 environment. Explain if there is a comparable way to do the same thing at the Command Line in Windows or by using the GUI.

Basic Data Analysis in RStudio

Background: This course is all about data visualization. However, we must first have some understanding of the dataset that we are using to create the visualizations.

Assignment:

• Use RStudio to generate a word document with basic data analysis of the following dataset:   dataset_price_personal_computers.csv    
• Use the following video to learn the simple commands to conduct basic data analysis with RStudio:   Basic Data Analysis in RStudio.mp4  

Questions/Requests:

• Create a summary of stats for the dataset. (provide a screenshot)
• Create a correlation of stats for the dataset. (provide a screenshot) (Hint: Transform may be needed)
• What is the Min, Max, Median, and Mean of the Price? (provide a screenshot)
• What is the correlation values between Price, Ram, and Ads? (provide a screenshot)
• Create a subset of the dataset with only Price, CD, and Premium. (provide a screenshot)
• Create a subset of the dataset with only Price, HD, and Ram where Price is greater than or equal to $1750. (provide a screenshot)
• What percentage of Premium computers were sold? (provide a screenshot)(Hint: Categorical analysis)
• How many Premium computers with CDs were sold? (provide a screenshot)(Hint: Contingency table analysis)
• How many Premium computers with CDs priced over $2000 were sold? (provide a screenshot)(Hint: Conditional table analysis)

Your document should be an easy-to-read font in MS Word (other word processors are fine to use but save it in MS Word format). Your cover page should contain the following: Title, Student’s name, University’s name, Course name, Course number, Professor’s name, and Date.

Submit your assignment on or before the due date.

1. Describe a fully developed use case for Receive new book in the university library system and then:

o Describe (UML) Activity diagram for the Enter new patient information use case

o Develop a first-cut sequence diagram that only includes the actor and problem domain classes.

o Develop a design class diagram based on your solution. Be sure to include your controller class.

o Add the view layer classes and the data access classes to your   diagram. You may do this with two separate diagrams to make them easier   to work with and read.

o Explain What is the difference between designing with CRC cards and designing with sequence diagrams?

o Explain the syntax of a message on a sequence diagram.

o What is the purpose of the first-cut sequence diagram? What kinds of classes are included?

o What is the purpose of the use case controller?

2. Using RMO that is the case in your text book answer the following:

Assume that RMO will begin asking a random sample of customers who   order by telephone about purchases made from competitors. RMO will give   customers a 15 percent discount on their current order in exchange for   answering a few questions. To store and use this information, RMO will   add two new classes and three new associations to the class diagram.  The  new classes are Competitor and ProductCategory. Competitor has a   one-to-many association with ProductCategory, and the existing Customer   class also has a one-to-many association with ProductCategory.   Competitor has a single attribute called Name. ProductCategory has four   attributes: Description, DollarAmountPurchased, MonthPurchased, and   YearPurchased. Revise the relational database schema shown in Figure   12-10 to include the new classes and associations. All tables must be  in  3NF.

3. Read this narrative and then make a list of system capabilities   and describe how the project could be developed  for the company:

The new direct sales and accounting system for Especially for You   Jewelers will be an important element in the growth and success of the   jewelry company. The direct sales portion needs to track every sale and   be able to link to the inventory system for cost data to provide a  daily  profit and loss report. The customer database needs to be able to   produce purchase histories to assist management in preparing special   mailings and special sales to existing customers. Detailed credit   balances and Aged accounts for each customer would help solve the   problem with the high balance of accounts receivables. Special notice   letters and credit history reports would help management reduce  accounts  receivable.

Do you feel you are vulnerable to hackers or identity thieves because you have a large online presence? Have you ever thought of removing your personal data from the net? Well, it’s not quite as simple as it should be. There are a few easy-to-follow steps that should point you in the right direction that can be found online, but the story does not end there. How can you make sure your personal information or financial data will not be exposed on sites that do not have your written permission? Is it possible to completely remove yourself from the web?

Project Plan

In this case project, we will determine the many options and the companies that collect your personal information. They’re called data brokers and they have names like Spokeo, Whitepages.com, PeopleFinder, BeenVerified, as well as plenty of others. 

1) In addition to the sites named above, list 5 additional agencies you find that collect this type of personal data. Hint: Many of them claim to be marketing agencies.

2) Provide a list of the companies that you find that claim to be able to remove your personal information from the data broker sites and the methods they use to delete this information.

3) Write a report with a step-by-step written summary of the processes and the methods which describe how you would go about DELETING yourself from the Internet.
