There are two questions in this requirement and these need to be answered each quesiton in a page max
1.
Read chapter in Computer Science: An Overview and carefully review the class discussion notes and coursecasts. Now, answer the following questions:
1. Suppose a machine language is designed with an op-code field of 5 bits. How many different instructions could the language have? What if the op-code field is increased to 7 bits?
[the question is asking for the number of different op-codes that can be represented]
2. How many bits per second must a keyboard transmit to keep up with a typist entering 38 words per minute into a word processor? Assume each character is encoded in ASCII binary form and each word consists of six characters.
[note that bps is "bits per second' and recall there are 8 bits in a byte]
3. Identify two approaches to increasing throughput in a system.
Be sure to "show your work" and/or "explain" your answers.

Read chapter in Computer Science: An Overview and carefully review the class discussion notes and coursecasts. Now, answer the following questions:
1. Using a subject with which you are familiar (perhaps a sport, hobby, or enjoyable activity) design a pseudocode for giving directions in that subject. Describe the primitives you would use and the syntax of the pseudocode. Focus on the design of the pseudocode including primitives; you do not need to create any specific algorithm.
2. Why are the following steps not considered an algorithm?
A - Draw any two lines on a two-dimensional plane
B - Draw a unit circle at the intersection of the two lines.
3. Four prospectors with only one lantern ... This is problem 18 as found on page 252.
In addition to the solution, be sure to describe how you got your "foot in the door."
Be sure to "show your work" and/or "explain" your answers.
