a.

Decimal numbers:

  • A decimal number is a number in which the whole number part and the fractional part is separated by a decimal point.
  • The dot is known as a decimal point of a decimal number.
  • Hence decimal numeral system is a method for representing both integer and non-integer numbers.

Octal numbers:

  • Octal number system is also known as base 8 number system and uses the digits 0 to 7.
  • These are made from binary numerals by grouping consecutive binary digits into three groups starting from the right.
  • Octal numbers also make it easy to write large binary numbers into smaller groups.

Explanation of Solution

b.

Conversion of decimal number 321 into octal value:

  • Since it is octal, divide the number 321 by 8 repeatedly. It returns 40 as quotient and 1 as remainder.
  • Now divide 40 by 8 and it returns 5 as quotient and 0 as remainder.
  • Now divide 5 by 8 and it is not possible as 5 is less than 8...

Explanation of Solution

c.

Conversion of decimal number 1492 into octal number:

  • Since it is octal, divide the number 1492 by 8 repeatedly. It returns 186 as quotient and 4 as remainder.
  • Now divide 186 by 8 and it returns 23 as quotient and 2 as remainder.
  • Now divide 23 by 8 and it returns 2 as quotient and 7 as remainder...

Explanation of Solution

d.

Conversion of decimal number 1066 into octal number:

  • Since it is octal, divide the number 1066 by 8 repeatedly. It returns 133 as quotient and 2 as remainder.
  • Now divide 133 by 8 and it returns 16 as quotient and 5 as remainder.
  • Now divide 16 by 8 and it returns 2 as quotient and 0 as remainder...

Explanation of Solution

e.

Conversion of decimal number 2001 into octal number:

  • Since it is octal, divide the number 2001 by 8 repeatedly. It returns 250 as quotient and 1 as remainder.
  • Now divide 250 by 8 and it returns 31 as quotient and 2 as remainder.
  • Now divide 31 by 8 and it returns 3 as quotient and 7 as remainder...

Inheritance & Polymorphism (Ch11) There are 6 classes including Person, Student, Employee, Faculty, and Staff. 4. Problem Description: • • Design a class named Person and its two subclasses named student and Employee. • Make Faculty and Staff subclasses of Employee. • A person has a name, address, phone number, and e-mail address. • • • A person has a class status (freshman, sophomore, junior and senior). Define the status as a constant. An employee has an office, salary, and date hired. A faculty member has office hours and a rank. A staff member has a title. Override the toString() method in each class to display the class name and the person's name. 4-1. Explain on how you would code this program. (1 point) 4-2. Implement the program. (2 point) 4-3. Explain your code. (2 point)
Suppose you buy an electronic device that you operate continuously. The device costs you $300 and carries a one-year warranty. The warranty states that if the device fails during its first year of use, you get a new device for no cost, and this new device carries exactly the same warranty. However, if it fails after the first year of use, the warranty is of no value. You plan to use this device for the next six years. Therefore, any time the device fails outside its warranty period, you will pay $300 for another device of the same kind. (We assume the price does not increase during the six-year period.) The time until failure for a device is gamma distributed with parameters α = 2 and β = 0.5. (This implies a mean of one year.) Use @RISK to simulate the six-year period. Include as outputs (1) your total cost, (2) the number of failures during the warranty period, and (3) the number of devices you own during the six-year period. Your expected total cost to the nearest $100 is _________,…
