Question

Transcribed Image Text:The fifth method should take four arguments: an array list of numbers (the return value of the first method
above); an integer (the number of smallest numbers to drop before calculating the average); a double (the
weight); and a double (the weighted average returned from the fourth method above). This method should
have no return value.
For example:
If the user gives these numbers for calculating the average:
40 60 80 100 20
and the user gives the number 2 to indicate how many of the lowest values should be dropped before
calculating the average, and gives a weight of 0.5, then the program should give as output:
The weighted average of the numbers is 40.0, when using the data 40.0, 60.0, 80.0, 100.0, 20.0, where 0.5 is
the weight used, and the average is computed after dropping the lowest 2 values.

Transcribed Image Text:First, launch NetBeans and close any previous projects that may be open (at the top menu go to File ==>
Close All Projects).
Then create a new Java application called "WeightedAvgDropSmallest" (without the quotation marks)
according to the following guidelines.
The program prompts the user for five to ten numbers all on one line, separated by spaces, calculates the
weighted average of all those numbers except the lowest n numbers, wheren and the weight are also given by
the user, and displays all the numbers, the weight, the number of lowest numbers dropped, and the
calculated average to the user.
The program uses methods to:
1. Get the numbers used to calculate the average
2. Get the number of lowest numbers to drop before calculating the average
3. Get the weight, a double greater than O and less than or equal to 1
4. Calculate the weighted average of the numbers (except the lowest n numbers) entered by the user
5. Print the results
The first method should take no arguments and return an array list of doubles.
The second method should take no arguments and return a single integer, the number of the lowest numbers
to drop before calculating the average.
The third method should take no arguments and return a double (the weight)
The fourth method should take three arguments: an array list of numbers (the return value of the first
method above); an integer (the number of smallest items to drop before calculating the average); and a
double (the weight). This method should return a double (the weighted average of all the numbers except the
lowest n values).
The fifth method should take four arguments: an array list of numbers (the return value of the first method

- Python help please! Thank you! Add the following methods to your Boat Race class: Write a method called add_racer which takes in a Boat object and adds it to the end of the racers list. The function does not return anything. Write a method called print_racers which loops through racers and prints the Boat objects. This function takes in no parameters (other than self) and returns nothing. Write a method called count that returns the number of racers. Write a method called race. The race function calls the move function for all of the racers in the BoatRace. Once all the racers have moved, call the print_racers method to display information about the progress of each boat. Then, check if any of the racer’s current_progress is greater than or equal to the race’s distance. If so, then return a list of all of the racers whose current_progress is greater than or equal to distance. If no racer has finished the race then repeat the calls to move and check until at least one…arrow_forwardUrgent Answer Have a nice day:)arrow_forwardIn your main method, you will ask the user how many values they would like to enter. This value will be the size of your array of doubles. Using this value, set up a loop that will then ask the user to fill the array with doubles. Once the array is filled, you will pass the entire array into a static method that you create that will return the standard deviation of the numbers. The static method will return a double and take in your array of doubles. The following formula will be calculated using the values in the array. The static method should not have anything related to Scanner or any print lines. It simply does the math using the numbers from the passed in array and returns a single answer. (x1, x2, x3, etc, represent the numbers in the array. X with a line over it represents the average of all the numbers. N represents the number of values entered in.) Once the (unadjusted) standard deviation has been returned to the main method, print out the user’s original values and…arrow_forward

Your client code should give the user the option to: display the contents of the bag using the class method “toVector” add values to the bag remove values from the bag sort the bag search for a value using their choice of either the iterative search or the recursive search - both need to be tested Allow the user to keep doing these things until they are done. Do not automatically sort the bag if the user chooses to search.

- 1. Square Roots Create a class with a method that, given an integer, returns an array of double-precision floating point numbers (known in Java as double), each of which is a square root of a number between 2 and the parameter to the method. For example, if the parameter is 5, the method should return an array of 4 doubles, with approximate values 1.4142135623, 1.7320508075, 2.0, and 2.2360679774. Your method should check the validity of the parameter, and take appropriate action if the parameter is invalid. 2. Reading Files Create a class with a method that, given a string representing a file name, returns an integer with the number of characters in the file. For example, if the file has 10 characters, your method must return the number 10. 3.
