Chapter 2, Problem 14E
Many sports have constants embedded in their rules. For example, baseball has 9 innings, 3 outs per inning, 3 strikes in an out, and 4 balls per walk. We might encode the constants for a program involving baseball as follows:
public static final int INNINGS = 9;
public static final int OUTS_PER_INNING = 3;
public static final int SIRIKES_PER_OUT = 3;
public static final int BALLS_PBR_WALK = 4;
For each of the following popular sports, give Java named constants that could be used in a program involving that sport:
■ Basketball
■ American football
■ Soccer
■ Cricket
■ Bowling

ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION:
A half-life is the amount of time it takes for a substance or entity to fall to half its original value. Caffeine has a half-life of about 6 hours in humans. Given caffeine amount (in mg) as input, output the caffeine level after 6, 12, and 24 hours.
Output each floating-point value with two digits after the decimal point, which can be achieved as follows:System.out.printf("After 6 hours: %.2f mg\n", yourValue);
Ex: If the input is:
100
the output is:
After 6 hours: 50.00 mg After 12 hours: 25.00 mg After 24 hours: 6.25 mg
Note: A cup of coffee has about 100 mg. A soda has about 40 mg. An "energy" drink (a misnomer) has between 100 mg and 200 mg.
THE CODE I HAVE SO FAR:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class LabProgram {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scnr = new Scanner(System.in);
double caffeineMg; // "double" supports floating-point like 75.5, versus int for integers like 75.
caffeineMg = scnr.nextDouble();
System.out.printf("After…
The Java code provides a Class named Function in Function.java that has a static method named f that takes a double argument and returns the value of . It also has a static method named fprime that takes a double argument for x and returns the value of the slope of f(x). The slope of f(x) can be calculated as . Implement this method.
public class Function

What is the probability that in a classroom of x people, at least 2 will be born on the same day of the year (ignore leap year)? Use a Monte Carlo Simulation and a frequency table to write a program that calculates this probability, where the number of people (x) in the simulated class is given by the user. The probability for a class of size 23, should be right around 50%.
NO language of "break" or "true" please!
PLEASE USE THE OUTLINE GIVEN BELOW TO WRITE THE CODE:
# What is the probability that in a classroom of x people, at least 2 will be born on the same day of the year (ignore leap year)?# I have given you the skeleton and some of the code... you complete it using a frequency table!# Note: In a classroom of only 23 people, the probability is about 50.7% !# Try first with 10000 trials and then try with 100000 trials. This code runs somewhat slowly in repl.it

- A company wants a program that will calculate the weekly paycheck for an employee based on how many hours they worked. For this company, an employee earns $20 an hour for the first 40 hours that they work. The employee earns overtime, $30 an hour, for each hour they work above 40 hours. Example: If an employee works 60 hours in a week, they would earn $20/hr for the first 40 hours. Then they would earn $30/hr for the 20 hours they worked overtime. Therefore, they earned: ($20/hr * 40hrs) + ($30/hr * 20 hrs) = $800 + $600 = $1400 total.arrow_forwardThe Body Mass Index – BMI is a parameter used to measure the health status of an individual.
