overlaying sine waves with randomized amplitude and frequency following thesespecifications: (a) Use randi() to generate a random integer between 1 and 10, and store it in the variable A (amplitude). (b) Use rand() to generate a random decimal value between 0.1 and 1, and store it in the variable f (frequency). (c) Create a range of 200 equally spaced values stored in the variable t (time) between 0 and 10 seconds. (d) Create the array y of the sine wave using the formula y = A sin(2πf t) (e) Make a plot of t and y, where t is the horizontal axis and y is the vertical axis. Use a solid line if the frequency is less than 0.5 Hz, and dashed line if it is greater than or equal

several contextsto help foster and grow their interest [10].This perspective provides a good framing mechanism for exploring disparities in computerscience learning opportunities between rural and non-rural populations. A weakness in onecontext might not have a large impact, but issues across multiple learning contexts will likelyhave an outsized effect on students’ opportunities and goals. Thus, if we find disparities inmore than one learning context, we make a stronger case for recognizing rural populations asunderserved. With this understanding, our research question becomes: RQ1: Are rural US students provided fewer opportunities to engage with computer science through: a) the school context? b) the community context? c) the distributed
