Concept explainers
Wobble, a start-up company, is developing a search engine for the Web. Given a particular search word, say Angelface (the name of a rock band), Wobbles strategy is to find all the Web sites containing the term Angelface, and then look at Web sites to which those Web sites link, to obtain a ranked list of search results. In other words, if there are lots of links pointing to Web site X from Web sites that mention Angelface, then it is likely that X contains lots of useful information about Angelface. In the digraph shown in Fig. 8-31, the vertices represent Web pages that contain the word Angelface and the arcs represent hyperlinks from one Web site to another.
a. Which Web sites would show up first, second, and third in the search results? Explain your answer.
b. One of the vertices of the digraph is the official Angelface Web site. Which do you think it is? Explain your answer.

As a criterion for judging who should teach each course,Professor Glaser reviews the past 2 years’ teaching evaluations (which were filled out by students). Since each of the four profes-sors taught each of the four courses at one time or another during the 2-year period, Glaser is able to record a course rating for eachinstructor. These ratings are shown in the following table.a) Find the assignment of professors to courses to maximize theoverall teaching rating.b) Assign the professors to the courses with the exception thatProfessor Fisher cannot teach statistics.

- it is multichoice, thank you!arrow_forwardA search committee was formed to find a new software engineer from a set of 50 applicants. The total set of applicants was then reduced to 8 candidates to consider for interviews. If 4 of the 8 are selected for an interview, how many ways are there to pick the set of people who are interviewed?arrow_forwardIn a survey of 120 people, it was found that: 65 read Newsweek magazine, 20 read both Newsweek and Time, 45 read Time, 25 read both Newsweek and Fortune, 42 read Fortune, 15 read both Time and Fortune, 8 read all three magazines. Find the number of people who read exactly one magazine.arrow_forward

(a) Find the number of students who use exactly one of the three social media platforms. (b) Find the number of students who use none of the three social media platforms.arrow_forwardExplain how a within-subjects design avoids the problems created by individual differences and how a between-subjects design avoids the problems created by order effects.arrow_forward

They found that 36 like Mariners games, 59 like Seahawks games, 48 like Sounders games, 25 like Mariners games and Seahawks games, 17 like Mariners games and Sounders games, 29 like Seahawks games and Sounders games, and 11 like all three. How many of the people who took the poll only like Sounders games? How many people like Mariners games and Seahawks games but not Sounders games? How many people don't like any of the three types of games?arrow_forwardThe ranks of same 16 students in Mathematics and Physics are as follows. Two numbers within bracket denote the ranks of the students in Mathematics and Physics : (1, 1), (2, 10), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5), (6, 7), (7, 2), (8, 6), (9, 8), (10, 11), (11, 15), (12, 9), (13, 14), (14, 12), (15, 16), (16, 13).
