Which statement is a good reason for backing up your data to the cloud? a. If the cloud storage provider you use goes bankrupt, you will still have access to most of the current data.
b. Backing up is generally a good idea.
c. In the event of a disaster at the cloud data center you use, you still have access to most of the current data.
d. If your computer is stolen, you still have access to most of your current data.

)a grad student comes up with the following algorithm to sort an array a[1..n] that works by first sorting the first 2/3rds of the array, then sorting the last 2/3rds of the (resulting) array, and finally sorting the first 2/3rds of the new array. 1: function g-sort(a, n) . takes as input an array of n numbers, a[1..n] 2: g-sort-recurse(a, 1, n) 3: end function 4: function g-sort-recurse(a, `, u) 5: if u ⒠` ≤ 0 then 6: return . 1 or fewer elements already sorted 7: else if u ⒠` = 1 then . 2 elements 8: if a[u] < a[`] then . swap values 9: temp ↠a[u] 10: a[u] ↠a[`] 11: a[`] ↠temp 12: end if 13: else . 3 or more elements 14: size ↠u ⒠` + 1 15: twothirds ↠d(2 ◠size)/3e 16: g-sort-recurse(a, `, ` + twothirds ⒠1) 17: g-sort-recurse(a, u ⒠twothirds + 1, u) 18: g-sort-recurse(a, `, ` + twothirds ⒠1) 19: end if 20: end function first (5 pts), prove that the algorithm correctly sorts the numbers in the array (in increasing order). after showing that it correctly sorts 1 and 2 element intervals, you may make the (incorrect) assumption that the number of elements being passed to g-sort-recurse is always a multiple of 3 to simplify the notation (and drop the floors/ceilings).

Using least squares fitting, you are to fit the data sets to the following models and solve for the parameters ai , where i is the index of the parameter. the input/output data for the systems are linked in the bblearn site. for each of the systems use matlab to plot the supplied data vs. the model fit on one plot. include your code in the solutions. (a) linear fit "lineardata.mat" y=a1x^3 + a2x^2 + a3x + a4 (b) plant fit "plantdata.mat g(s) = a1/(s + a2)
