- Calculate Caloric Intake Learning Objective: In this lab, you will practice Functions and test functions Lists Printing If statements Instructions: Main Idea The Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the amount of energy (calories) your body needs while resting. This accounts for about 60 to 70 percent of calories burned in a day. In general, men have a higher BMR than women. One of the most accurate methods of estimating your basal metabolic rate is the Harris-Benedict formula: Adult_Male_BMR = 66 + (6.3 x bodyweight in lbs.) + (12.9 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years) Adult_Female_BMR = 655 + (4.3 x weight in lbs.) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years) In this lab, you will be given the function calculate_calorie_intake and you will be required to write the body of the test functions test_calculate_calorie_intake_negative, test_calculate_calorie_intake_1, test_calculate_calorie_intake_3. In these functions, you will write function calls to calculate_calorie_intake…arrow_forwardProblem 2: Simple Interest The formula for computing the future value of an amount that is increasing due to accumulating simple interest is F=P(1+rxi) Where F is the future value, P is the present value, is the annual interest rate (decimal value not percent), and is the total time period in years. Write a function named simpleInterest that accepts values for the three variables P, and and assings them to the output variable futureValue Function Code to call your function > Save C Reset function [futureValue] =simpleInterest (presentValue, interest RatePercent, time Years) %Enter commands to perform the computation and assign the results 3 %to the output variable defined in the function command in line 1. 1 [futureValue] =simpleInterest (10000,5.25,5) My Solutions > MATLAB Documentation C Reset Run Functionarrow_forward3. Spirometry is a test of lung function that measures how much and how quickly (volume and flow) the air movement in and out of the lungs. The measurements are made using an instrument called spirometer, which can provide the following parameters: i. Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) ii. Forced vital capacity (FVC) These parameters can be used to make a diagnosis and to determine the severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), an obstructive respiratory disorder characterized by airflow limitation and inflammation. It happens when the ratio of FEV1 to FVC is less than 0.70. The spirometric classification of COPD severity based on FEV1 is given in Table 5. Table 5. Spirometric classification of COPD severity. Condition / Severity Normal Mild COPD Moderate COPD Severe COPD Very severe COPD FEV1/ FVC > 0.70 FEV1 > 0.80 0.50 –- 0.79 < 0.70 0.30 - 0.49 <0.30 You are required to develop a program used by a medical practitioner to analyze the condition of few group…arrow_forward
- Lab 3 Periodic compounding The total accumulated value, including the principal sum P, is given by the formula: where: nt A = P(1+1) n² ● ● ● ● A is the final amount Accumulated Value P is the original principal sum r is the nominal annual interest rate n is the compounding frequency t is the overall length of time the interest is applied (expressed using the same time units as r, usually years). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_interest) Using the above formula write a program that will display the following table. Principal-Value | Times-Interest-Compunded | Annual-Int-Rate | Term | Accumulated-Value 1000 6.00% 10 3.20% 15 2000 3000 9.25% 10 1 2 4 | You must use exponent operator to compute P Exponent Operator in Python is ** 1790.85 3219.89 7486.33arrow_forwardProblem Statement: The mathematician Conway imagined a game, called game of life, whichconsidered cells that are susceptible to reproduce, disappear, or survive when they obey certainrules. These cells are represented by elements on a grid of squares, where a grid has an arbitrarysize. Thus, each cell (except those on the boundaries of the grid) is surrounded by eight squaresthat contain other cells. The rules are stated as follows:1. Survival: Each cell that has two or three adjacent cells survives until the next generation.2. Death: Each cell that has at least four adjacent cells disappears (or dies) by overpopulation.Also, each cell that has at most one adjacent cell dies by isolation.3. Birth: Each empty square (i.e., dead cell) that is adjacent to exactly three cells gives birthto a new cell for the next generation.It is worth noting that all births and deaths occur at the same time during a generation.Write a program that simulates this game and displays all successive…arrow_forwardcode for number 41 problemarrow_forward
- Q1: Research Groups In response to popular demand, Dan’s established two research groups A and B composed of his n graduate students. Each of these students is a member of exactly one of the two groups at any given time. The students are numbered from 1 to n in some arbitrary order. To measure the success of his research groups, Dan assigns a citation score to each of them. Initially, both groups have citation score 0. Throughout the semester, events of the following two types happen: Student x publishes a paper in which they cite student y’s work (youcan assume all of the students have been around long enough to have prior research that can be cited). As a result, If x and y are in the same group, their group’s citation score increases by 1. If x and y are in different groups, y’s group’s citation score increases by 5. Dan changes student x’s group (from A to B or from B to A) to have them work on different projects. To assess the overall success of the research groups, Dan…arrow_forwardMaximization Problem: Production Optimization A metallurgical company produces three types of metal products: A, B and C. These Products require different amounts of resources to manufacture. The company has limitations on the number of labor hours, machines available and raw Materials. The goal is to maximize total profit. Variables X₁: Quantity of products A to produce. X₂: Quantity of products B to produce. X3: Quantity of products C to be produced. X4: Hours of labor used. X5: Hours of machines used. X: Amount of raw material used for A. X7: Amount of raw material used for B. X₂: Amount of raw material used for C. Xg: Upper limit on total product production.

You may assume that the second time will always be after the first time, both times will always be on the same date, and military time will be used (no a.m. or p.m.). Examples time_delta(04:15:36, 16:35:27) ➞ (12:19:51) time_delta(02:06:05, 06:09:10) ➞ (04:03:05) Sample Input 1 "04:15:36" "16:35:27" Sample Output 1 "12:19:51"arrow_forward
