  • How to fix Photoshop CS4 Installation?

    I'm trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended on my new Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. I read that some people installed it on the 7 OS without any complications. When I run the setup, it stalls at the "Checking System Profile..." at about 90% and doesn't go any further. I tried running it as administrator and went through troubleshoot compatibility. Still have no luck. Does anyone know what I could do to fix this? Thanks!

  • Why is my computer freezing and not opening programs?!?

    I just recently built a computer:

    AMD Phenom 6 core with a 890GX motherboard.

    Everything went smooth, installed 7 64bit, and most of the drivers without any problems.

    Then the next day, as I'm doing stuff, the computer doesn't open up any programs, and then while loading, freezes. I also noticed that there is 1 red light on the motherboard that lights up on boot but stays on for 3 seconds then disappears. Can anyone tell me or have an idea of what it is or what I should do? ANY HELP.. PLEASE!

  • Discrete Probability?

    Use Stirling's Formula to approximate the probability that a coin that is tossed 2000 times falls heads exactly 1000 times.

    The answer is 0.0178

    I have made several attempts but I am not sure where I am making my mistakes.. I wish I could show my work here but there's a lot of "to the powers" and fractions that would make it confusing. Can anyone help? Thanks.

  • Probability Question?

    I just need help how to go about this problem. Any advice is appreciated.

    You are bobbing for apples and there is a 2/3 probability of getting an apple.

    Let X be the total # of apples grabbed in 8 tries. Find the mean and standard deviation of X.

    Let Y be the total # of tries to grab 4 apples. Find E(Y).

    I am not too sure of which formulas to be using.

  • Probability Question?

    I'm not too sure how about to go about this problem.

    2500 coins are tossed. Let X be the number of heads obtained. Find E(X), Var(X). E(X) = expected value of X, Var(X) = variance of X

    So far I have P(x=2500), but (1/2) probability of heads to the 2500th power for the 2500 trials comes out 0. (1/2)^2500 = 0

    I am confused as what the probability would be if the possibility is 0..

    Any help is appreciated.

  • Probability Question?

    I've attempted this problem several times but I'm pretty sure I'm doing it wrong.

    Six coins are tossed 6 times. A pays B according to the following table:

    No heads = $200

    1 Heads = $50

    2 Heads = $10

    3 Heads = $5

    4 Heads = $20

    5 Heads = $25

    6 Heads = $80

    If X is the amount A pays, find E(X).

    I've set my variables as follows:

    P(x=200)

    P(x=50)

    P(x=10)

    P(x=5)

    P(x=20)

    P(x=25)

    P(x=80)

    I do not know where to go from here.

    Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

  • Java Quicksort Method Help?

    One of my tasks is to do the following but I do not know what to do, any help is appreciated:

    -implement quicksort using linked lists instead of arrays

    -use the first element as pivot

    *-write a function that takes an integer N and a list L of integers and returns a list of all members of L that are <= N -- the small list

    *-write a similar function that returns members of L > N - the big list. -recursively sort these lists.

    Put the pivot in front of the sorted big list, append the sorted small list to the front, and return the result. The outward behavior of the program is simple: read integers until you get a -1, then sort and return the results.

    Any help is appreciated, thank you!

  • Java Eight Queens Problem?

    I have to write a program that prompts for an integer N, prints all lists as described, and finally tells you how many it printed.

    Example of the desired behavior:

    input integer:3

    1 3 2

    2 1 3

    2 3 1

    3 1 2

    public static boolean attack(int column1, int column2)

    {

    int row1 = row[column1];

    int row2 = row[column2];

    return (row1==row2)

    || (row1-row2 == column1-column2)

    || (row1-row2 == column2-column1);

    }

    public static boolean queens_ok(int column)

    {

    for(int i = 0; i < column; i++)

    if(attack(i,column))

    return false;

    return true;

    }

    else System.out.print('_');

    System.out.print('\n');

    }

    System.out.print("\n\n");

    }

    {

    if(column>7) /* all columns filled, solution! */

    show_queens();

  • Need help with JAVA Assignment!?

    Write two functions to find the the number of elements in a linked list: one using a loop, and one using recursion.

    public class lp {

    public int first;

    public lp rest;

    public lp(int first1, lp rest1)

    {

    first = first1;

    rest = rest1;

    }

    }

    Add a counter and increment it in the body of the loop. When you reach the end, the counter's value is the length.

    Your program should build a list of length 3 and then call the two length functions to find its length.

    list1 = new lp(1, new lp(2, new lp(3, null)));

    Should look like this to the user:

    length computed with a loop: 3

    length computed with recursion: 3

    I'm really lost so if someone could help figure this out I'd greatly appreciate it.

  • Need help with part of Java Homework Assignment?

    Need help getting started on a piece of homework.

    I'll just list out the 1st part of the assignment.

    Write a recursive function that will find the sum of all the elements in an array A, from position first to last inclusive. This function is a lot like the maxArray function, which you saw in the book and the lab. The definition of this function should start with:

    int array_sum(int A[], int first, int last)

    It returns the sum A[first]+A[first+1]...+A[last]. Write a "main" function, which reads integers from the console and stores them in an array. Positive integers only -- stop when the user inputs a negative number. The main function calls your recursive function to find the sum, giving it the array and the positions where the user's data starts and ends. Assume at most 1000 inputs. The main function finally prints the answer. The user should see this:

    input integer:5

    input integer:4

    input integer:9

    input integer:-1

    sum is 18
