Concept explainers
a.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Given that the disk drive has the following features:
Number of surfaces = 6
Tracks per surface = 953
Sectors per track = 256
Bytes per sector = 512 bytes
Seek time = 6.5ms
Rotational speed = 5400rpm
To find: Capacity of the drive
Solution:
The capacity of the drive is manipulated by multiplying number of surfaces, tracks per surface, sectors per track and bytes per sector.
b.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Given that the disk drive has the following features:
Number of surfaces = 6
Tracks per surface = 953
Sectors per track = 256
Bytes per sector = 512 bytes
Seek time = 6.5ms
Rotational speed = 5400rpm
To find: Access time
Solution:
The summation of rotational delay and seek time is called access time.
Rotational delay =
c.
Explanation of Solution
Faster disk:
“Yes”, this disk faster than the disk that was specified in Exercise 30 because, the access time “12.66ms” in “Exercise 30” is slower than the access time “12...

- Two industries that use decision trees extensively are lenders (banks, mortgage companies, etc.) and insurance. Discuss how a decision tree is used to solve a business problem.arrow_forwardand some More lab 9 For the last lab of the term, I want you to create a practical application for your database, in which you modify it in some way, for instance, taking a new order. Since the emphasis is on the database connectivity, neither a GUI nor a web application is required. In fact, a GUI would require x2go, which I don't have at home and you probably don't either. A web interface would need to be on osiris, I could figure out some way to try it out, I guess. There are also numerous security concerns. The applications should be easy for someone like a store employee or on-line customer to use. The most common operations, such as adding a customer or renting a tool, should be implemented. These Part 1 instructions now include how to use postgresql in C as well as Java and python. The important issue of transactions and commit status is addressed here.
