Suppose users share a 3 Mbps link. Also suppose each user requires 150 kbps when transmitting, but each user transmits only 10 percent of the time. (See the discussion of packet switching versus circuit switching in Section 1.3.)
- a. When circuit switching is used, how many users can be supported?
- b. For the remainder of this problem, suppose packet switching is used. Find the probability that a given user is transmitting.
- c. Suppose there are 120 users. Find the probability that at any given time, exactly n users are transmitting simultaneously. (Hint: Use the binomial distribution.)
- d. Find the probability that there are 21 or more users transmitting simultaneously.

For the spreadsheet you need to create a multi page sheets thing that uses all the techniques of counts/sums and graph showing how many contracts have been returned for each grade...you can make up the data (let's say in grade 9 I got 15 contracted back with fake data that I want you to show me how to create on google spreadsheet) For grade 10 i got 20 contracts signed, for grade 11 I got 16 contracts and for grade 12 I got 25 contracts back. Can you help me pls. Thanks so much. Make sure you have graphs on the page and also the sum written as a formula and the numbers filled in the columns.arrow_forwardI need help with this problem and an step by step explanation of the solution from the image described below.

- Goal: Understand how to build a concurrent server and deal with signals Description: Use TCP socket programming in C to implement a pair of client and server programs. The client simply asks the user to enter a string (null-terminated), and then displays a menu for the user to select an operation on that string. The string and the type of operation are sent to the child server which performs the required operation and returns the result back to the client. That is, the server (parent) creates a child for each request of the client (you need to print the port and IP address of the client on the server terminal). Then it waits for the child to finish processing client's request and prints the process ID of the terminated child. The connection between your client and server should stay open, so that the client can send another request. However, the exit will happen when the user sends the client program the SIGQUIT signal. The handler will print a notifying message (for example, "Good…arrow_forwardI need help with this problem and an step by step explanation of the solution from the image described below.
