A process running on a Linux system has become unresponsive and is consuming excessive CPU. A user investigates the program and decides to terminate it. The user uses the following commands and affects the process’ PCB in the following ways: The user first runs top, which lists every process and its [q1] read from the pcb, along with its pid and [q2] — which is used by the scheduler to order ready processes. Next, the user runs ps using the pid and inspects the [q3] to read process details, recorded in the process’s PCB. Finally, the user runs kill on the process, which causes a state transition from RUNNING to [q4].

Krishin wants to introduce a new SWAP instruction to the LC-2200 ISA that follows the specification below: Syntax: SWAP Rx, Ry Semantics: Places the contents of Rx into Ry and the contents of Ry into Rx Krishin realizes that this instruction needs to write to 2 registers in the WB stage, which is a problem because the dual-ported register file of the classic 5-stage LC-2200 pipeline does not support accomplishing this in one clock cycle. He decides to modify the register file to support 2 simultaneous writes to the register file in the same clock cycle. Which of the following hazards does this modification address?

A sample of 22 fifth grade students has a grade point average of 3.0. We know that the grade point average of all fifth grade students over the last five years is 2.75. We are interested in whether the grade point average of the 22 students is significantly different from the 2.75 GPA average from the last five years. What statistical test should be used to answer this research question?
