The tables can be processed by CAD software to derive an efficient gate structurc of the design. None of Verilog's predefined primitives describes sequential logic. The model of a sequential UDP requires that its output be declared as a reg data type, and that a column be added to the truth table to describe the next state. So the columns are organized as inputs: state: next state.

Please help solving problem 1,2 and 3. Thank you very much. For questions 1 - 3, consider the following test results obtained for a surface water sample. lon Concentration (ppm) Ca2+ 36.0 Mg2+ 10.8 Na 12.4 K 5.9 нсоз" 82.1 SO42 32.0 CI 16.9 NO3 7.4 1. Check the accuracy of the analytical measurements. Do you suspect that a constituent of significance has been neglected? If so, is it a cation or an anion? 2. Determine the mole fraction of calcium, magnesium, and sulfate for the water sample given above. 3. Determine this water's hardness and alkalinity in mg/L as CaCO3.

Die-rolling experiment: 1) Acquire any "fair-enough" die. 2) Roll it at least 100 times (each person for themselves). 3) Note what the outcome is overy time. 4) For each group of 5 (go consecutively, i.e. group first five rolls, then the next five rolls, etc.), take the average of the 5 rolls. For example, if the first five rolls are \( 3,6,1 \), 5 , and 3 , Die-rolling experiment: 1) Acquire any "fair-enough" die. 2) Roll it at least 100 times (each person for themselves). 3) Note what the outcome is overy time. 4) For each group of 5 (go consecutively, i.e. group first five rolls, then the next five rolls, etc.), take the average of the 5 rolls. For example, if the first five rolls are \( 3,6,1 \), 5 , and 3 , the average will be \( 18 / 5=3.6 \). 5) You will end up with at least 20 averages. Plot these averages on a \( 2 \mathrm{D} \) column graph. Alternatively, you can do a histogram of your results, which will be a fancier way of doing a 2D column graph. With a histogram though, you can control the bin size and instead of each individual average (e.g. 3.2, 3.4. 3.6, etc.). you can group them together with a bin size of 1 . Bonus credits will be assigned to those showing their results with a histogram of bin size 1 in addition to their regular \( 2 \mathrm{D} \) column graphs. 6) All the probabilities of \( 1,2,3,4,5 \) and 6 are \( 1 / 6 \) with a fair die. Therefore, the probabilities are said to be "uniformly distributed". Then, why is your \( 2 D \) column graph / histogram not looking uniform at all? Speculate / comment on the rationale for this.
