To determine an athlete’s final score for the event, the highest and lowest judges’ scores are discarded and then the average of the rest of the scores is calculated. Assume that the array 'Scores' contains the judges’ scores. Write a function that accepts as an argument a list of scores and returns the athlete’s final score.

Usually, when we sniff packets, we are only interested certain types of packets. we can do that by setting filters in sniffing. scapy’s filter use the bpf (berkeley packet filter) syntax; you can find the bpf manual from the internet. set the following filters and demonstrate your sniffer program again (each filter should be set separately): (a) capture only the icmp packet. (b) capture any tcp packet that comes from a particular ip and with a destination port number 23. (c) capture packets comes from or to go to a particular subnet. you can pick any subnet, such as 128.230.0.0/16; you should not pick the subnet that your vm is attached to.

Least square fit to polynomial write a function leastsquarefit3pol that solves a linear system of equations to find a least squares fit of a third order polynomial to an experimental data set given as two row arrays. the function leastsquarefit3pol must explicitly solve a set of linear equations and cannot use polyfit. there should be no restriction on the size of the problem that can be solved.

You have a linux system that has a 1000gb hard disk drive, which has a 90gb partition containing an ext4 filesystem mounted to the / directory and a 4gb swap partition. currently, this linux system is only used by a few users for storing small files; however, the department manager wants to upgrade this system and use it to run a database application that will be used by 100 users. the database application and the associated data will take up over 200gb of hard disk space. in addition, these 100 users will store their personal files on the hard disk of the system. each user must have a maximum of 5gb of storage space. the department manager has made it very clear that this system must not exhibit any downtime as a result of hard disk errors. how much hard disk space will you require, and what partitions would you need to ensure that the system will perform as needed? where would these partitions be mounted? what quotas would you implement? what commands would you need to run and what entries to /etc/fstab would you need to create? justify your answers.
