The answer is: feedback.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Feedback: In systems thinking, feedback refers to the information that is sent back into the system to influence future processing. It is a critical component in systems theory as it helps the system adjust and improve its performance based on the outcomes of previous actions. In the context of a computer program, feedback can be seen as the data or information that is used to refine and optimize the program's processes.

  2. Process: While "process" is a key term in systems thinking, it refers to the series of actions or steps taken to achieve a particular end. It is not specifically the computer program that processes the data but rather the sequence of operations within the program.

  3. Input: Input refers to the data or information that is fed into a system for processing. It is the raw material that the system uses to produce an output. However, it is not the computer program itself.

  4. Output: Output is the result or product that comes out of a system after processing the input. It is the end result of the system's operations but not the program that processes the data.

In summary, feedback is the most appropriate term in the context of systems thinking as it relates to the information used to improve and adjust the system's processes.

One pump can empty a pool in 7 days, whereas a second pump can empty the pool in 10 days. How long will it take the two pumps, working together, to empty the pool? (Fractional answers are OK.) The first pump's rate is per day. The second pump's rate is per day. The combined pumps rate is per day. It will take the two pumps days to empty the pool together.

Figure 9: Instrumentation amplifier. Consider the circuit in Figure 9, which represents an instrumentation amplifier (A1, A2, A3) with additional functionality (A4, A5). All operational amplifiers are assumed to be ideal. (a) [5 points] Derive the transfer function H1(s) = (V2-V1)/(Vint-Vin). Hint: Set up independent equations that involve Ig, the current through Rg and eliminate Ig. Use your knowledge about ideal operational amplifiers. (b) [5 points] Derive an expression for (V01)/(Vout) of the sub-circuit with A 5 and for (V02)/(Vout) of the sub-circuit with A4. Calculate the transfer function H2(s) = (V02-V01)/(Vout). (c) [4 points] Set up the circuit equations for operational amplifier A3: Find a relationship between VN and VP, then set up circuit equations for V1, Vol, V2, and Vo 2 to derive the transfer function H3(s) = (V02-V0)/(V2-V1).

The average American gets a haircut every 38 days. Is the average smaller for college students? The data below shows the results of a survey of 16 college students asking them how many days elapse between haircuts. Assume that the distribution of the population is normal. 43,44,30,38,35,26,27,39, 26,24,34,33,30,26,30,38 The final conclusion is a. The data suggest the population mean is significantly lower than 38 at a=0.01, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean number of days between haircuts for college students is lower than 38. b. The data suggest the population mean number of days between haircuts for college students is not significantly lower than 38 at a=0.01, so there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean number of days between haircuts for college students is lower than 38. c. The data suggest the population mean is not significantly lower than 38 at α= 0.01 , so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean number of days between haircuts for college students is lower than 38.
