Classwork

Create a new Word document and in it complete the following:

  1. Suppose we have a list of grades and we want to tell a computer to find the average for the list.  What is the data in this specific task?
  2. What is sampling? Do keyboards do sampling? Why do we need to use sampling to do some computer input?
  3. Later in the semester we will talk about high level programming language and machine language. Using only what we have covered so far, why must the following be wrong? "The difference between machine language and high level language is that machine language programs are stored in binary."

Submit the classwork, attaching your Word document.

Once you have submitted, check that your document shows up readably inside BlackBoard.  If you see only a "download" button, and not the content of your document, there is a problem and you will need to resubmit.  (Check that you used a Word docx file.)
