Pseudorandom Number generation:

In Java, there is a built-in class java.util.Random whose object as pseudorandom number to determine the sequence of numbers by randomly.

Note: Refer page number 113 to formula for next pseudorandom number in the text book.

According the formula given by the text book, the current seed “cur” value is needed to find the next pseudorandom number. But, here the only one current seed “cur” is given to find the five next pseudorandom numbers.

  • Apply the given inputs for five times; get the same next pseudorandom number. So, take current seed value as “next pseudorandom number” to find the next pseudorandom numbers.

Explanation of Solution

Determine the next five pseudorandom numbers:

The given inputs are,

    a = 12

    b = 5

    n = 100

    Current seed (cur) = 92

The formula for next pseudorandom number is given below:

next = (a × cur + b)% n        (1)

First pseudorandom numbers:

Substitute the “a”, “b”, “n”, and “cur” in the Equation (1) to determine the first next pseudorandom number is given below:

next = (12 × 92 + 5)% 100(1104 + 5)% 100(1109)% 100= 9

Therefore, the first pseudorandom number for current seed (cur = 92) is 9.

Second pseudorandom numbers:

Here, let us consider the current seed “cur” as “9”. That is, result of first pseudorandom number.

Substitute the “a”, “b”, “n”, and “cur” in the Equation (1) to determine the first next pseudorandom number is given below:

next = (12 × 9 + 5)% 100(108 + 5)% 100(113)% 100= 13

Therefore, the second pseudorandom number for current seed (cur = 9) is 13.

Third pseudorandom numbers:

Here, let us consider the current seed “cur” as “13”. That is, result of second pseudorandom number.

Substitute the “a”, “b”, “n”, and “cur” in the Equation (1) to determine the first next pseudorandom number is given below:

next = (12 × 13 + 5)% 100(156 + 5)% 100(161)% 100= 61

Therefore, the third pseudorandom number for current seed (cur = 13) is 61.

Fourth pseudorandom numbers:

Here, let us consider the current seed “cur” as “61”. That is, result of second pseudorandom number.

Substitute the “a”, “b”, “n”, and “cur” in the Equation (1) to determine the first next pseudorandom number is given below:

next = (12 × 61 + 5)% 100(732 + 5)% 100(737)% 100= 37

Therefore, the fourth pseudorandom number for current seed (cur = 61) is 37.

Fifth pseudorandom numbers:

Here, let us consider the current seed “cur” as “37”. That is, result of second pseudorandom number.

Substitute the “a”, “b”, “n”, and “cur” in the Equation (1) to determine the first next pseudorandom number is given below:

next = (12 × 37 + 5)% 100(444 + 5)% 100(449)% 100= 49

Therefore, the fourth pseudorandom number for current seed (cur = 37) is 49.

Payroll Flowchart Analysis Discuss the risks depicted by the following payroll system flowchart. Describe the internal control improvements to the system that are needed to reduce these risks with specific explanations. An illustration of the above flowchart: It is represented in six columns and the column header reads: supervisor; payroll; data processing; accounts payable; cash disbursement; general ledger. In supervisor column, timekeeper enters into time cards and that leads to “Review Time cards and prepares Personnel Action Form” that further leads to two source documents “time cards, per action form.” Per action, form enters into prepare payroll in payroll column. Prepare payroll enters into paychecks and two source documents “payroll register, payroll register.” Payroll register leads to inverted triangle and payroll leads to A. Paycheck enters into review and distribute in supervisor column leads to paycheck and that further leads to employees. In data processing column,…

A new application is being developed and will be using a database that includes a relation about items: Item (item_id:integer, item_name:string, color:string, price:real). Both the purchasing department in charge of obtaining raw material and the manufacturing department in charge of manufacturing the items can change the price of manufactured items according to changes that may happen in the raw material cost or production cost. The two departments use different transactions to update the price of items. The new application uses the following sequences of actions, listed in the order they are submitted to the DBMS: Sequence S1: T1:R(X), T2:W(X), T2:W(Y), T3:W(Y), T1:W(Y), T1:Commit, T2:Commit, T3:Commit Sequence S2: T1:R(X), T2:W(Y), T2:W(X), T3:W(Y), T1:W(Y), T1:Commit, T2:Commit, T3:Commit For each of the following concurrency control mechanisms, describe how they will handle each of the sequences (S1 & S2).
