Which of the following methods could be considered a “best practice” in terms of informing respondents how their answers to an on-line survey about personal information will be protected? respondents are informed that investigators will try to keep their participation confidential; however, confidentiality cannot be assured. respondents are informed that a research assistant will transfer all the research data to a password-protected computer that is not connected to the internet, via a usb flashdrive. the computer is located in a research team member’s office. the investigator uses the informed consent process to explain her institution’s method for guaranteeing absolute confidentiality of research data. the investigator uses the informed consent process to explain how respondent data will be transmitted from the website to his encrypted database without ever recording respondents’ ip addresses, but explains that on the internet confidentiality cannot be absolutely guaranteed.

Robots with telescoping arms are sometimes used to perform tasks (e.g., welding or placing screws) where access may be difficult for other robotic types. during a test run, a robot arm is programmed to extend according to the relationship r = 3 + 0.5cos(4θ) and the arm rotates according to the relationship θ=−π4t2+πt , where r is in feet, θ is in radians, and t is in seconds. use a computer program to plot the path of tip a in x and y coordinates for 0 ≤ t ≤ 4s.

Jason, samantha, ravi, sheila, and ankit are preparing for an upcoming marathon. each day of the week, they run a certain number of miles and write them into a notebook. at the end of the week, they would like to know the number of miles run each day, the total miles for the week, and average miles run each day. write a program to them analyze their data. your program must contain parallel arrays: an array to store the names of the runners and a two-dimensional array of five rows and seven columns to store the number of miles run by each runner each day. furthermore, your program must contain at least the following functions: a function to read and store the runners’ names and the numbers of miles run each day; a function to find the total miles run by each runner and the average number of miles run each day; and a function to output the results. (you may assume that the input data is stored in a file and each line of data is in the following form: runnername milesday1 milesday2 milesday3 milesday4 milesday5 milesday6 milesday7.)
