1) Because the mean is nearly three (2.975), we know that the school website has an adequate amount of information about classes. Also, because the mode is 3, many students are simply different towards the issue. 2) Since both the median and mode for this statement are 5, we conclude that most students find the site easy to navigate. 3) With a mean (3.05), median, and mode of 3, we can tel that most peple do not feel one way or another towards the extent that the site appeals to its audience. 4) Due to an average of 3.15, the survey showed that the school site gives students a slightly better grasp of life at BSGE. 5) Because the mode is 5 for this statement, we realize that the website is extremely useful to both students and parents. 6) The survey displayed the need for a more aesthetically attractive website; mode and mean are 2. 7)We can conclude that students would like to have grades accessible online. This is due to a mode of 5, a mean & median of 4. 8) Since the mean, median, and mode are all 2, we can tell that students would like the site to be updated more often. 9) With a median & mode of 2, we can conclude that students would enjoy more pictures on the site. 10) We gathered a median & mode of 2, and therefore students do not really want a drop-down menu on the site.
 * __Statement Conclusion__**

1) Since both the median and mode for this statement are 5, we conclude that most students find the site easy to navigate. Therefore, in building or re-modeling the school site, no adjustments need to be made in terms of navigating the site. 2) We can conclude that students would like to have grades accessible online. This is due to a mode of 5, and a mean & median of 4. Thusly, an application including confidential student grades may be an idea to consider for a new school web site. 3) Because of a low median, mode, and mean (all 2), I can conclude that students would like the school website to be updated more often with more current events and postings.
 * __Evan's Conclusions__**

1)We can conclude that students would like to have grades accessible online. This is due to a mode of 5, a mean & median of 4. So when the schools edits the site it should add grades since kids are want to know how there doing in school. 2) Since the mean, median, and mode are all 2, we can tell that students would like the site to be updated more often. So this means the school needs to find someone to keep the site up to date. 3) With a median & mode of 2, we can conclude that students would enjoy more pictures on the site. The school needs someone to upload pictures in order to please the viewers. 4) We gathered a median & mode of 2, and therefore students do not really want a drop-down menu on the site. From this students just want an average website that makes things simple.

Billy's Homework: Identify and define 10 things

server: Can refer to the machine that stores files of many users and programs that can be shared, or to the program that allows communication with a browser. In our school we have a server. A server is different than a network because on a network users are connected to one another while on a server files are shared with users.

Access Permissions: Are certain rights a user or individual has to opening a file or folder. If a user does not have certain privledges they are not aloud to extract or open a certain folder/file. Access Permissions are different from passwords in that if a file is password protected then you must a certain password to attain the file but in Access Permissions if you are not granted permission by an Administer than you cannot open a file, in Access Permissions the folder/file does not need a password

Login: If you wish to access a network, server, or a computer you are prompted with a login which will most likely ask for a username and password.

LAN: Local Area Network. A network of mulitple computers either in a home, small office, or multiple buildings. LAN differs from WAN because WAN is a world-wide network.

WAN: World Area Network. A network of thousands of computers that are connected gloabally. Differs from LAN in that LAN is a smaller version of a WAN and has a fewer amount of computers.

SysAdmin: System Administrator(Heyyyyy Shantanu thats you) A SysAdmin is responsible of a companys network in which they manage the network. A SysAdmin gives access permissions to people on the network and limits users from gaining access to certain files/folders

RAM: Random Access Memory, Type of computer memory. RAM is used for a computers short term memory. RAM is gone if a computer is shut down or restarted. For example if you are typing something and you accidentaly delete it, if you wish to undo your computer accesses your RAM and brings back your work in a sense. Differs from ROM in which ROM is not lost when the computer is shut down or restarted.

ROM: Read only memory. ROM is memory that can be accessed and read but cannot be changed. ROM is non-volitile while RAM is volitale and will be erased when the computer is shut off while when the computer is shut off ROM is not destroyed.

GB: Gigabyte is 1024 megabytes and is approximately 1000 mb. A gigabyte is a unit of measurement in the world of computers.

Compatibility: When you buy hardware and wish to upgrade your computer, you must find out whether your new hardware is compatible with your computer. Your computer must be able to recognize and read the hardware to fully function with it. Compatibility also reffers to Software and Application because before buying software you must read the System Requirments to find out if the Software is compatible with your Operating System.
