Levart [38]

Answer:

In centralized method, the authorized sender is known, but the transmission line is dominated by the control station, while in decentralized method, one station can not dominate the line but collision on the transmission line may occur.

Explanation:

Centralized method of communication requires for a control station to manage the activities if other stations in the network. It assigns turns to one known station at a time, for transmission.

Decentralized method allows stations in a network to negotiate and take turns in transmitting data. When a station is done with the transmission line, another station on the queue immediately claims the line.

Your company wants to conduct an exploratory study to gain new insights into some product changes you are considering. Which typ

Lina20 [59]

Answer: Primary Research (Focus Group).

Explanation:

Exploratory Research is an inquiry that seeks to understand the basic causal factors of a problem. This effort can serve as the basis of more intensive research later on.

There are basically two methodologies used, which are the; Primary and Secondary methods. While the Primary method's source of information is the concerned group, the Secondary Methods obtain their information from already existing information (Primary sources), such as Interviews, Journals, etc.

In the case of the company in the question, seeking to gain insight into the changes in a product, it would be best for them to consider what some selected costumers (focus group), think about the existing products and their views on subsequent changes. This method of getting information directly from the focus group employs the primary method.

Add the following 2's complement binary numbers. Also express the answer in decimal. a. 01+ 1011b. 11+ 01010101c. 0101+ 110d. 01

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

(a) 01 + 1011

Convert the two numbers into their 4-bit representation.

=> 01 = 0001

=> 1011

Addition of the two numbers (in their 2's complement form) gives the following:

0 0 0 1 ------------------> + 1 (in decimal)

1 0 1 1 ------------------> - 5 (in decimal)

1 1 0 0 -------------------> - 4 (in decimal)

Explanation for (a)

01 or 0001

Since the most significant bit is 0 (leftmost bit), it shows that it is a positive number. Therefore, it can be directly converted to its decimal representation as follows:

0001 = 0 x $2^{3}$ + 0 x $2^{2}$ + 0 x $2^{1}$ + 1 x $2^{0}$ = 1

0001 is + 1 in decimal.

1011

Its most significant bit(MSB) is 1 showing that it is negative.

Flipping all its bits and adding 1 to the result, will convert it to it's positive counterpart.

i.e 1011 => 0100 + 1 = 0101.

Converting the result (0101) to decimal gives

0101 = 0 x $2^{3}$ + 1 x $2^{2}$ + 0 x $2^{1}$ + 1 x $2^{0}$ = 5

1011 is -5 in decimal

01 + 1011 or 0001+ 1011 = 1100

The result (1100), of the addition of the two numbers, is a negative number as the MSB is 1.

Convert it to it's positive counterpart.

i.e 1100 => 0011 + 1 = 0100.

Converting the result (0100) to decimal gives

0100 = 0 x $2^{3}$ + 1 x $2^{2}$ + 0 x $2^{1}$ + 0 x $2^{0}$ = 4

Therefore, the result, 1100 is -4 in decimal.

===================================================

(b) 11 + 01010101

Convert the two numbers into their 8-bit representation since one of them is in 8-bit.

PS: Taking 11, its MSB is 1 showing that it is a negative number. Also, it's 8-bit representation will mean pre-padding it with ones(1s) rather than zeros as follows. In other words, pre-padding a 2's complement number is done using its sign bit.

=> 11 = 11111111

=> 01010101

Addition of the two numbers (in their 2's complement form) gives the following:

1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ------------------> - 1 (in decimal)

0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 ------------------> + 85 (in decimal)

1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 -------------------> + 84 (in decimal)

Discard the carry-out bit (1) making the result 01010100

Explanation for (b)

11 or 11111111

Its MSB is 1 showing that it is negative.

Convert it to it's positive counterpart.

11111111 => 00000000 + 1 = 00000001

Converting the result (00000001) to decimal gives 1

11 or 11111111 is - 1 in decimal.

01010101

Its MSB is 0 showing that it is also positive. Now, convert to decimal

01010101 = 85

01010101 is + 85 in decimal.

11111111 + 01010101 = 01010100

The result (01010100), is also positive as the MSB is 0. Now, convert to decimal.

01010100 = 84

Therefore the result (01010100) is + 84 in decimal.

===================================================

(c) 0101 + 110

Convert the two numbers into their 4-bit representations.

=> 0101 = 0101

=> 110 = 1110

Addition of the two numbers (in their 2's complement form) gives the following:

0 1 0 1 ------------------> + 5 (in decimal)

1 1 1 0 -----------------> - 2 (in decimal)

1 0 0 1 1 -------------------> + 3 (in decimal)

Dicard the carry-out bit (leftmost bit) to get 0011 as result.

Explanation for (c)

0101

Since the MSB is 0 (leftmost bit), it shows that it is a positive number. Now, convert to decimal.

0101 = 5

0101 is +5 in decimal.

110 or 1110

Its MSB is 1 showing that it is negative.

Convert it to it's positive counterpart.

i.e 1110 => 0001 + 1 = 0010.

Converting the result (0010) to decimal gives

0010 = 2

1110 is -2 in decimal

0101 + 110 = 0101+ 1110 = 0011

The result (0011), is a positive number as the MSB is 0.

Converting the result (0011) to decimal gives

0011 = 3

Therefore, the result, 0011 is 3 in decimal.

===================================================

(d) 01 + 10

Convert the two numbers into their 4-bit representation.

=> 01 = 0001

=> 10 = 1110

Addition of the two numbers (in their 2's complement form) gives the following:

0 0 0 1 ------------------> + 1 (in decimal)

1 1 1 0 ------------------> - 2 (in decimal)

1 1 1 1 -------------------> - 1 (in decimal)

Explanation for (d)

01 or 0001

Since the MSB is 0 (leftmost bit), it shows that it is a positive number. Now convert to decimal.

0001 = 1

0001 is + 1 in decimal.

1110

Its MSB is 1 showing that it is negative.

Convert it to it's positive counterpart.

i.e 1110 => 0001 + 1 = 0010.

Converting the result (0010) to decimal gives

0010 = 2

1110 is -2 in decimal

01 + 1011 or 0001+ 1110 = 1111

The result (1111), is a negative number as the MSB is 1.

Convert it to it's positive counterpart.

i.e 1111 => 0000 + 1 = 0001.

Converting the result (0001) to decimal gives

0001 = 1

Therefore, the result, 1111 is -1 in decimal.
