ASSESSMENT 2 BRIEFSubject Code and TitleMIS101 Information Systems for BusinessAssessmentAssignment – Mathematics for ComputingIndividual/GroupIndividualLength1500 words (+/- 10%)Learning OutcomesThe Subject Learning Outcomes demonstrated by successfulcompletion of the task below include:a) Identify and explain components of information system forbusiness.b) Demonstrate an understanding of computing relatedmathematics.SubmissionDue by 11:55pm AEST/AEDT Sunday end of Module 4.2(Week 8)Weighting40%Total Marks100 Task SummaryUsing your understanding of computer number system and logic, answer the questions provided.ContextComputer systems only understand binary numbers. The CPU, the main component inside acomputer system, makes logical decision based on binary numbers. In Modules 3 and 4, you learnedabout computing mathematics and logic. This assessment focuses on your understanding of thenumber system and logic in computers.Task InstructionsRead the questions carefully and give clear and precise answers. You should start with a title page, andthen a very short introduction about your work. Please do not forget to include the references list in theend of your work. Please do not forget to include the AI declaration after your title page.Question 1:a) Choose a sentence of no more than 25 characters containing your name (Example: ‘Kyle is inhighschool.’ Identify the ASCII code for each character; identify its decimal representation and thenconvert it into its equivalent binary number. Please make sure to demonstrate how you arrivedto the results, by elaborating on at least 1-2 conversions. What are the steps you have applied?What information is needed for your conversions? (10 marks).b) Convert the binary sequence (identified in part ‘a’) back to characters. Again, you need todemonstrate for at least 1-2 conversions, and then show the results for all the converted binarysequence. (5 marks).c) Show the hexadecimal representation of each character in the selected sentence. You can useeither conversion method, and elaborate on the conversion processes, for at least 1 or 2 of thecharacters. (5 marks).

You can choose anything fromyour studies, workplace, device functionalities, laws, etc. Once selected, represent it using atruth table. Explain the possible outcomes. Represent your problem using a logic diagram. Theexample has to be relevant and correct (something that will have different outcomes fromdifferent combinations of the inputs). Please elaborate on your solution (20 marks).Question 3:Use the internet to investigate and explain what data transfer rate or speed is. Please use references tosupport your discussion (10 marks).Question 4:How is the concept of Set Theory applied to Relational Databases? Give two examples and explain therelevant with set theory of the taken examples. Please note that just explaining the set theory, or/andRelational Databases, will not be enough to score well in this question. Please use references (10 marks).Question 5:Identify and explain at least two applications of hexadecimal numbers in modern computing.Please support your discussion with external references (10marks).Question 6:Consider the following scenario:The three inputs which affect the outcome of a business are:1. the management is good2. employees are satisfied3. people are hard-workingIf the management is not good, the organisation will be in loss. If management is good andemployees are satisfied but they do not work hard, then the organisation will be in loss. If themanagement is good but the employees are not satisfied, then the business will break-even. If allthree conditions are satisfied, then the organisation will be in profit.Analyse all the three scenarios and identify the inputs and outputs to a process which decides allthe different outcomes/scenarios. Show this in the form of truth tables and logic diagrams for eachof the scenarios. Hint: To convert the truth tables into logic diagrams, the easiest way is to convertfirst into a Boolean expressions, and then into logic diagrams (30 marks).
