Question
Given four positive integers a, b, c, and d, compute the sum of those among them that are odd.
Because you have not yet learned how to make decisions, use the fact that for a positive integer n, the expression n % 2 is either 0 or 1. (not allowed to use an if statement)

- 2) scrooge.py Scrooge McDuck is letting you into his vault full of pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. He will let you play the following game: you can pick 8 coins at random, and if they sum to at least a dollar, you win, and can keep your money! But if you lose, you don't get to keep the money, AND have to pay Scrooge a dollar. (Each coin you pick is equally likely to be a penny, nickel, dime, or quarter.) Your job: using a simulation, estimate 1. the probability that you win (meaning your coins sum to more than a dollar), and 2. if you play this game over and over, the average amount you will win (where the amount you win in a game could be negative). Here is a bit more direction: you should simulate 100,000 plays of this game. Each simulated play should involve picking 8 different random numbers - each one should be .01, .05, .10, or .25, with each value equally likely - which represent the 8 coins being chosen; these should be summed each time. As you proceed through these…arrow_forwardIn what sense does it mean to "choose numbers at random"?arrow_forwardCalculating Truth Value of Formulas If A, B, and C are true statements and X, Y, and Z are false statements, calculate the truth value of the following formulas. ~(((~A & B) & (~X & Z)) & ~((A & ~B) v ~(~Y & ~Z))) X is False; H, G are unknown.

You may not use the following keywords: if, while, for. $ python month.py 13 It's currently January, in 3 months it will be April. $ python month.py 5 20 It's currently May, in 20 months it will be January. $ python month.py 12 12 It's currently December, in 12 months it will be December.arrow_forwarda) In the Hi-Lo game, the player begins with a score of 1000. The player is prompted for the number of points to risk and a second prompt asks the player to choose either High or Low. The player's choice of either High or Low is compared to random number between 1 and 13, inclusive. If the number is between 1 and 6 inclusive, then it is considered "low". A number between 8 and 13 inclusive is "high". The number 7 is neither high nor low, and the player loses the points at risk. If the player had guessed correctly, the points at risk are doubled and added to the total points. For a wrong choice, the player loses the points at risk. Create a HiLo application based on this specification. Application output should look similar to: High Low Gane RULES 1 through 6_are lou Nunbers 8 through 13 are high Number ? is neither high or low You have 1000 points. Enter points to risk: 500 Predict (1=High, 0=Low): 0 Nunber is 4 You win. Play again? y You have 2808 points. b) Modify the application to…arrow_forward
