Explanation of Solution

Main memory:

Main memory or Random Access Memory (RAM) is the volatile memory which means the information stored in that memory would be erased when the computer is turned off.

  • Main memory has a limited storage capacity so it cannot store a large amount of data.
  • The data or information stored in the main memory is directly accessed by the Central Processing Unit (CPU).

Example:

Some of the examples of main memory are,

  • RAM (Random Access Memory).
  • ROM (Read Only Memory).
  • EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory).
  • PROM (Programmable Read Only Memory).
  • Cache memory.
  • Registers.

Secondary storage:

  • Secondary storage or secondary memory is the non-volatile memory which means the information stored in that memory cannot be erased even when there is any mishap in the computer...

using r language A continuous random variable X has density function f(x)=1/56(3x^2+4x^3+5x^4).0<=x<=2 (1) secify the density g of the random variable Y you find for the acceptance rejection method. (2) what is the value of c you choose to use for the acceptance rejection method (3) use the acceptance rejection method to generate a random sample of size 1000 from the distribution of X .graph the density histogram of the sample and compare it with the density function f(x)

using r language in an accelerated failure test, components are operated under extreme conditions so that a substantial number will fail in a rather short time. in such a test involving two types of microships 600 chips manufactured by an existing process were tested and 125 of them failed then 800 chips manufactured by a new process were tested and 130 of them failed what is the 90%confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of failure for chips manufactured by two processes? using r language
