Explanation of Solution
Given scenario:
In the given scenario, an IS department updates the software automatically and the patches cannot be allowed to go into sleep mode. This is because when the system move into sleep mode, the updates cannot be proceed further. So, sleep mode should never be used in the servers.
To determine:
To determine the cost (in watt) required for the computer which does not undergo sleep mode.
Calculation:
To calculate energy consumption cost, multiple the unit’s wattage by number of hours is given below:
Let’s say, the computer uses 200 watt
Energy consumption per day
Calculating the energy consumption for one month is given below:
To calculate the cost, let us assume the cost to pay is 10 cents per watt hour is given below:

Using MIS (10th Edition)
- In some older homes that do not have a central heating and air conditioning system, smaller air conditioning units made to fit inside of a window and cool a single room are used as an alternative way to cool the home. Depending on the size of the room and the amount of shade that the room has, different sizes of air conditioning units must be used in order to be able to properly cool the room. The unit of measure for the amount of cooling that an air conditioner unit can provide is the BTU (British Thermal Unit) per hour. Code a program that will calculate the correct size of air conditioner for a specific room size using the instructions below. Step 1: Ask the user to enter the length of their room (in feet). Step 2: Ask the user to enter the width of their room (in feet). Step 3: Calculate the area (in square feet) of the room by multiplying the length and the width of the room. For example, if a room is 20 feet wide by 24 feet long, then its area is 20 * 24 = 480 square feet Step…arrow_forwardA tech company has made a new app to help improve sleep hygiene. Sleep hygiene is the extent to which you have a good, healthy sleep routine--the goal of the app is to optimize the user's sleep schedule and set them up for sleep success by encouraging them to remove distracting things in their environment, minimizing light exposure prior to sleep, and helping them find their own personal best sleep routine. The tech company gives the app to a select group of college students living in the dorms on campus and compares their sleep quality to their roommate's sleep quality, who did not get the app. They find that there is no difference in sleep quality between the students who used the app and the students who did not and conclude that the app does not work.
