This seems like a straightforward question about the 3 E's approach to performance measurement. I'll focus on understanding what "effectiveness" means in this context and then match that to the potential answers.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll have to review my notes on Linux disk and partition naming before answering.

This seems like a straightforward question about vendor compliance. I'd start by reviewing the contract requirements and comparing them to the vendor's deliverables, as option D suggests.

I'm a bit confused on the difference between hidden and exposed nodes. I'll need to revisit those topics before answering this question.

Okay, let me think this through. The question says the campaigns were run against mutually exclusive customer bases, so I'm guessing we want to test if the sales lifts are significantly different. That points to option B as the null.

Ah, the age-old debate of Economy vs. Efficiency vs. Effectiveness. Personally, I'm a firm believer in the 'Ennui' approach – just sit back, relax, and let the students figure it out for themselves.

Wait, are we talking about the 3 E's or the 3 C's? Coca-Cola, Cheerios, and Chicken Nuggets? I'm pretty sure that's the real formula for academic success.

I'm going to have to go with C) Expenditure per department. After all, the more resources a department has, the more effective they can be in delivering their programs and supporting student success. It's all about the Benjamins, baby!

B) Average class size seems like a reasonable measure of 'Effectiveness' to me. Smaller class sizes allow for more engaging and interactive learning, which can enhance the overall effectiveness of the university's educational delivery.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. I was leaning towards D) Lecturer to student ratio. After all, a higher ratio could indicate more personalized attention and support for the students, which seems like an effective approach.

I think the correct answer is A) Percentage of students leaving STU with a first class degree. This measure aligns with the 'Effectiveness' aspect of the 3 E's approach, as it directly reflects the academic performance and outcomes of the students.

I agree with Franklyn. Having a high percentage of students graduating with a first class degree shows that the university is effective in delivering quality education.
